Suddenly everyone is talking about the coming technocratic dystopia, and it isn't really making much sense to me.

You have endless literature discussing this like Ellul's "The Technological Society", and the endless tech-dystopia movies that have come out over the 20th century. So if the system has been showing us tech dystopia, why are they wheeling it out now?

I get the impression it's not happening at all

I guess what I mean to say is that the problems we're having in society are more about people themselves and less about the technology.

I don't see how we wouldn't have basically the same issues without the technology. I feel like what people are blaming on "technocracy" is more people's hearts darkening or something

its coming together now because the possibilities for advancement through technologies has developed to the point where it is possible for the entire apparatus to be borne a-new in a techno-fascist dystopia. its a coalescence of development toward a new world order, you see.
where is it? reshaping a whole world of people that houses billions of people takes time. first its seemingly starting with integrating everyone into a biometric ID system that will be attached to everything about that person from the people they interact with, to what he ate at breakfast, to what time he goes to bed, to what he spends his central bank digital currency on, etc. So whenever the ID system is in place, in comes the rollout for everything else to subdue man into submission by a dominant minority or in the Ellulian dialect, by technological development.

You are largely correct but there is still a risk coming from the technology.
If 95% of the population complies with the system in place the current technology might be enough to identify the remainder.
Still, I think many people forget two elements. First recent technological changes are not mysteriously all geared towards dystopia. For instance private crypto exchange makes the system butthurt but there is nothing they can do about it short of banning the internet (which to be fair they might consider).
Second the high technology control grid requires more skill to run that many think. I'm skeptical that our current degenerated would be elites (the Klaus Schwab types) are incompetent enough to run it in the manner described in dystopian media.

Most likely it will continue the recent trends in the middle run. My country, the UK, is slowly turning into a nightmare police state on paper but the system is corrupt and incompetent. The state puts cameras everywhere yet crime is higher than ever. We must have loicenses for everything, with centralized identification, yet the administration could not even follow the number of EU nationals in the country. They expected 3.5M when there were 6M, and that's nt counting illegals, of which the state admitted it has no idea how many they are.
I fully agree that we are way, way more at risk from the increasing servile behavior of the population than by the technological gadgets of the control grid. Look how 90% of people mindlessly complied with the most ridiculous covid restrictions even as the authorities were contradicting themselves every month. The truth is they didn't even need the tech control grid for it. Good old social control is much easier, cheaper and effective.

If you want answers all you have to do is follow the money as thats the base for any system within a society. In August of 2019, Blackrock[1] decreed that a "downturn" was about to happen wherein they would explicitly state their intention to inflate the dollar by driving up "helicopter money" with the intended goal of boosting the stock of money[2] to essentially destroy the dollar to replace it with central bank digital currencies[3] and to what will eventually replace state-capitalism, i.e. stakeholder-capitalism or "going direct." At the beginning of the plandemic, the privately owned Federal Reserve printed 3 Trillion Dollars in 3 Months; to give you an idea how ridiculous this is, its taken 107 years for the Fed to get its balance sheet to 4 trillion dollars, and 107 years and 3 months to get it to 7 trillion dollars. What is more absurd is that there was a 99% equivalence of wholesale (reserves) fiat into retail (commercial fiat) supply; this is basically the Fed pumping the stock market. Lets go back though, in 2020, just as during the 2008 stock market crash, Blackrock was handed to it full control of the Federal Reserve[4].

In India, the ID system[5] that is tied to biometrics has been in place for almost a decade now and its being rolled out globally[6]. Gates has said himself[7] that that he is funding the World Bank “to take this Aadhaar approach to other countries.” To see the ties between Aadhaar and Gates, I recommend going through this transcript in Corbett's report[8]; Ctrl + F = Nilekani to find the exact point in the source material to the ties. Although the transcripts meant to be taken in its entirety. As it goes over not just the ID system based on biometrics in India but also the World Bank's ID4D[9] initiative among others that have set the stage.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution[10] is not some "larption." Only a moron would be so foolish to think so.

[1] https://www.blackrock.com/corporate/literature/whitepaper/bii-macro-perspectives-august-2019.pdf
[2] "Second, this boost to the stock of money has to be permanent. Otherwise, the money might not be spent if the increase is expected to be reversed in the future. If these conditions are met and helicopter money is delivered in sufficient size, it will drive up inflation –in the long run, the growth of money supply drives inflation."

biometrics are unique identifiers of specific persons such as a photograph, fingerprint, facial or iris image to determine the usage for applications within a system. chips come much later with a primary focus of exacting locations of persons and potentially augmenting behavior. so imagine your currency, the thing that is required to pay for goods and services being tied to your digital identification or the use of your digital identification to access the internet (this is not fiction, its cemented reality in China); it'll encompass everything about your daily life if you wish to participate in society. the regulations are much more pertinent than the semi-far off chips. regulations such as biodata or carbon emission tied to a "new approach to credit scoring"[1], i.e. Social Credit Scores[2] is nothing new and will reach every extent of our lives, even in education[3][4]. The onset will be less severe for certain member states, as their cultures demand, through the progression towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It must be noted that the dystopic systems already exist and are being used against us, if for example, you live in the states you have probably heard "contact tracing."[5]

Once you get rid of physical currencies and, if we know anything about our central bankers mindset, crypto-currencies; what you are left with is a centralization of data to determine who is buying what within a system which can then be used to exclude outliers forthright or augment behavior to fit the ideal citizen. Please do not bring geopolitics into the discussion-all politics are, are a scam to distract from the global co-operation towards the complete subjugation of the serfdom by the dominant minority. India, China--these examples of set-in-places of systems to come will encompass the globe.

Because it is not. What is going on is the bureaucratic capture of large institutions(large companies, mainstream media, academy, NGOs, federal and to a lesser degree local government apparatus) by an increasingly unstable and radical ideological cult, at least in the western world.
Bottom line is whatever it snaps back into a more reasonable and less self-destructive position, or fully commits into driving off the cliff for its own beliefs.

No. It is not possible to separate policy from the ideas that underpin it. There is always a theory at the basis of action. What distinguishes "technocracy" from other forms of government is its pretense of working on the basis of objective, neutral, universally true, and undisputed knowledge. That it pretends that nothing outside of it exists is its basic characteristic. To take this at face value is wrong. You must go to the root of the malaise afflicting us, and for that, you must read Leo Strauss.

>Obviously
No, he obviously said
> x invented y
His original statement was false because for x, he said Nash instead of Von Neumann (i.e. the man who was the actual inventor, together with some help from Morgenstern). Because of the structure of the sentence it is likely that the error didn't arise in the transmission of the message (e.g. typo, ommission, automatic text reformating, 4chan filter, etc.) but rather in it's formulation (his original intent, what he believed, what he was trying to say, etc.).
If he knew that Nash wasn't the real inventor he most likely wouldynt have made such a preposterous error but he did so he likely doesn't.
Do not try to give this man an out; he was wrong and now has to live with it.
Don't let him save face or in the like you have shared in his error.
