"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.

Get the TechnoBow mug.noun - A non-(politically correct) term used to describe a person who may or may not be book-smart, but when he/she is put into any technical-type situation... he/she is totally lost. A technical retard. One who is completely overwhelmed, can not figure out (or is afraid to try), anything of a technical nature without guidance and/or an easy-to-read instruction manual. Completely lacking the self-confidence to: repair, replace, configure, make-right, assemble, dismantle, remove, install, build, or explain anything technical.
A technitard is the person who consistently has the flashing 12:00 on any device with a digital clock. Example: You walk into their home and your eyes are immediately drawn to the old VCR... it's blue digits blinking 12 clock on the display!

Get the technitard mug.The new system to replace the current price system.
The main problem is that the price does not reflect the actual cost of the product. It may be higher when the product is scarce, and lower when it's abundant, while the effort of producing it is still the same. That's why technocracy introduces new valuating system which is based on so called energy-credits. The products and services are valued by the amount of energy it takes to create it. That includes the energy used to get raw materials, for manufacturing, transport, distribution and recycling the leftovers. In this case the cost of the product would not fluctuate and decrease when new more energy-efficient methods of manufacturing/transport/recycling methods are implemented.
The first point is that nowadays economy is already obsolete and causes lots of problems. The industry power is such great today, that when it's run on full scale it can produce abundance. But we have warehouses of food destroyed to keep food prices high while there are millions starving.
Another point is that currently industry is so automated, that there is little need for human labour to produce goods. This ends up in unemployment and creating unnecessary jobs, while few enjoy great wealth just because they own the machines.
The main idea of technocracy is:
1) change product and service valuating from price system to energy-accounting
2) calculate the total ammount of energy the country (most likely continent) can get, dedicate part of it for maintenance of Technate (technocratic society) and the rest divide equally among all citizens. At the end of the balance period (24 hours, week or month) all energy-credits are zeroed and calculated anew. Also the supply of particular products are modified to meet the demand +a little surplus.
3) using technology to create abundance for all people. That means to use technology to automate industry as much as possible, run the manufacturing machinery as much as to meet population's demands for products, develop synthetic analogue materials for scarce non-renewable raw materials, use recycling to get raw materials (the cyclic consumption), reduce waste to minimum and find new ways of getting unlimited ammounts of energy.
There are requirements to establish technocracy:
1) continent with all kinds of raw materials and vast energy resources
2) continent with enough technology and means of production to create abundance
3) experts and scientists to run the technology
In technocracy the money-related crime will perish (95% of all crime), competition and stress removed, energy-credits is not subject to theft, gamble, hoarding, bribe, transfer, debt or interest. Because all the people get their personal (no one else can yous your energy-credits) equal part every new balance period, and this ammount is enough for abundance (most cases you won't spend half of it). It doesn't matter if you work or not, you get it as a right of citizenship.
In technocracy you will only have to work about 160 days a year, 4 hours a day, 4 days a week (ant that's according to calculations made in 1930), as the time goes the need for work will decrease even more.
Also, technocracy proposes new inhabitation form, called Urbanate. Big cities are very inefficient and lowers quality of life. Urbanates are specially designed towns of 20`000-100`000 citizens. No traffic jams, polution, density, crime (typical in dense populations). The houses built of sound-proof durable materials with all the hi-tech installation (from humidity control to automated lighting systems).
In short:
Small size (perhaps 20,000-100,000 people)
Planned, top-down design
Pre-installed, integrated transportation, utilities, and communications
Safe, pollution free environment
That's only a small part (a few main points) of technocracy.
Some people might find it similar to communism, but this is not correct. Technocracy is non-political (democratic controls on non-technical issues and decisions). It's not "from everyone according to his abilities and to everyone according to his needs". It's "abundance to everyone".
