Technocracy is an economically and culturally variable anti-democratic ideology who supports a system of governance in which decision-makers within the area are selected on the basis of their expertise in a given area of responsibility, particularly with regard to scientific or technical knowledge, and supports the formation of a government of scientists, engineers, urban planners, etc. The term can also sometimes be used to describe the idea of approaching social and economical problems through the lens of sustainability and the scientific method as opposed to the pursuit of monetary profit. Sometimes, Technocracy can advocate for economic planning, although this is not always the case.

Stylistic Notes
- Usually depicted as more intelligent than other ideologies and with deep knowledge of various scientific fields.
- While not explicitly technologically progressive, he often associates with pro-technology ideologies and enjoys sharing his scientific knowledge with them.
