  Technocracy Explained - The Role...

  Technocracy is a concept that has evolved over time, yet its core principles remain focused on the idea that governance should be driven by scientific knowledge and technical expertise rather than political ideologies or populist sentiments. The term "technocracy" was first introduced in the early 20th century by engineers and economists who believed that the efficient management of resources and societal development could only be achieved through the application of scientific principles. Technocrats argued that political leaders, often with little to no understanding of complex systems, were ill-equipped to make decisions that could optimize society’s functioning, particularly in times of rapid industrialization and technological advancement. 
  The origins of technocracy can be traced back to the industrial revolution, when technological innovations began reshaping economies and societies. However, the movement gained significant traction in the early 1930s during the Great Depression, a period of economic turmoil that called into question traditional governance models. During this time, scholars like Howard Scott and engineers from the Technocratic Movement in the United States called for the establishment of a technocratic society where engineers, scientists, and other experts would manage the economy based on data-driven decision-making rather than political influence. They believed that such a system would eliminate inefficiencies, social inequalities, and the corruption they associated with political governance.

  The City of Singing Flame by Clark Ashton Smith - In the city of strange wonders, the lure of the flame drew them on and on… destruction loomed ahead… 
  Clark Ashton Smith was born in California in 1893. He was an insatiable reader with a photographic memory. He read an unabridged dictionary word for word, studying the definitions of the words and their origins. He read the complete 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica at least twice. 
  He started writing at 11. By 14 he had written a short adventure novel titled The Black Diamonds which was lost for decades until was published in 2002 more than 41 years after his death. 
  Smith was poor most of his life and often did manual labor jobs like fruit picking and woodcutting to provide for himself and his parents. To say he was a prolific writer of horror and science fiction would be a huge understatement. Between 1929 and 1934 he wrote more than a hundred short stories. He began corresponding with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft and the three of them became friends although they never met. 
  Clark Ashton Smith was praised by his peers, H. P. Lovecraft said, “in sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, Clark Ashton Smith is perhaps unexcelled” and Ray Bradbury said that Smith, “filled my mind with incredible worlds, impossibly beautiful cities, and still more fantastic creatures”. You are about to discover what Lovecraft and Bradbury were talking about.
