'The least you could do is point out to me when I've become radically implausible not bottle up your rage and unleash it on me in one massive swipe across my face.'

Kemrii, it's called being polite. And if I'm gonna be honest, I don't see how you deserve much politeness as you are.

'A country approximating a technocracy is possible in an intellectually vigorous UK. Why do you think I overhauled the education system? To encourage technocracy. I'm not claiming to be run by a council of experts.'

Then why is it that multiple times, such as when you decided to launch five - five Battlestar Kinetic Bombardment Satellites into the air, you seem to validate this? The UK isn't 'intellectually vigorous', it just happens to sit at the one place where everyone in the Western Hemisphere goes for tech discussions and thus gets the runoff. The UK still has huge amounts of anti-intellectuals in this age, mind, as do most other countries, but your UK seems to be some sort of robotic machine that answers what you want at your beck and call.

'Technocracies are possible. China is one, albeit a dictatorial one.'

Oh, great. China isn't a technocracy. It's a country that's on the extreme end of 'produce results or be criticised'. The only way China produces results is by cheating international systems and feigning ignorance or acting in complete violation of international laws. This 'technocracy' happens to have large amounts of people who only want results and they will get it at any cost. Trying to praise that indicates how hard it is for some to understand that results aren't worth anything if they were built on a pack of lies and nothing else.

'A great example would be the tens of thousands of people that pay to watch people like Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris talk on stage for hours on end.'

A better example would be to point out at people who know both of these men as pundits and not debators and watch them to validate their own worldview rather than learn anything. Debates aren't interesting, they practically exist only to validate the views of right-wingers or left-wingers today. The only people watching that are young, innocent kids who believe in the integrity of a system that rewards screaming and shouting at the other person.

And if I have to go into greater detail?

Imagine two debators, Persons A and B. A and B were once highly respected people in the community but recently B has fallen out of favour because of his antics and worsening arguments. What does B do? He turns up to debates with A and starts shouting him down with terrible arguments and he starts winning. He ruins the integrity of the entire debate process and forces A to start acting the same way. That's debates today and I can tell you that'll be debates in an environment where entire countries willingly set off nukes within their own borders out of nationalistic fear of foreigners.
