Technocratic ascensionism

"Technocratic Ascensionism" is an idea that a person named "Kieran" made, so he can actually define his plan to assist upcoming generations with the gift of knowledge and wisdom.

Many may confuse this for "Intellectual Ascensionism" which Kieran describes as "A dumpster fire on wheels"

The idea for this plan came from his interesting time growing up, He believes that people at a young age lack a drive to improve themselves with wisdom and knowledge, The actions for this form of "Ascension" include

1. Assisting the receiver of this "Ascension" with problems they may be experiencing by giving them an opinion from a different prospective and/or giving them direct requests for what to do based on previous experiences.
2. The receiver of this "Ascension" at one point needs to go against some of knowledge given to them.
3. And finally the receiver of this "Ascension" needs to realize the use of this knowledge can benefit them immensely. (From part 2) and that they should be more open to receive any form of knowledge and/or wisdom.

The most desired outcome if for this is for the to continue the cycle by causing the receiver to gain desire to gain both, knowledge and wisdom to help others in the way they were helped.
Kieran: You should avoid doing that.
Brad: Why?
Kieran: Because it caused something really bad to happen for me.

*Brad proceeds to go against Kieran's advice and screws up spectacularly*

Kieran: told ya something bad would happen, You have just experienced Technocratic ascensionism from it's source.
Brad: Fine, I'll listen now.

technosceptical

The mere fact that you are sceptical about anything technical.
Not Technophobic, that is a fear, technosceptical is not fear, its just "Do we REALY need this?" type of thinking.
Technosceptical.
Anyone that has ever seen an advert for some gizmo that does 1,000 things you never needed doing in the first place, such as a Can Opener that doubles as a Radio, or a Toilet Roll Holder that plays MP3's, and thought What the HELL?... Is that REALY neccesary?....
That is technosceptical...

Anyone that has viewed some new idea, some new piece of software, some new piece of technology, and thought "I bet its goina go wrong".... THAT is technosceptical...

Anyone that has viewed a piece of kit, with a thousand flashing lights, and thought "Where the hell is the OFF switch"... THTAT is technosceptical...
