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.

How to Draw
Technocracy is extremely easy to draw:
- Draw a ball
- Draw in a yin-yang style symbol, with the left part in light grey (#D3D3D3) and the right part in red (#B22222)
- Add the eyes and done!
Stylistic notes

capitalism for giving the wealthy power as opposed to the most skilled.
