Today’s socioeconomic system has a fundamental unsustainable nature. This has to do with physical limitations of Earth. NET then considers the question: if we can not sustain today’s system, then what type of socioeconomic system can we sustain? NET proposes an alternative system for a hi-tech sustainable socioeconomic system which we call a "technate".
The proto-technate is an experimental platform for experimenting with a sustainable hi-tech society and a means to move from today's unsustainable society to a future hi-tech sustainable society.
A proto-technate is a step between a future hi-tech sustainable socioeconomic system and today's unsustainable system as it works within the current socioeconomic system –generally a proto technate has one foot in today's system and the other in tomorrow's sustainable system. Its a start for building a better world for us all.
European Technate – Sustainable System
Europeans define Technocracy as an agent for social, economic, and cultural change. A vision to deal with our complex world by knowledge and skill as the abilities to anticipate and help shape the future. A way to bring about a better future for all. Technocracy literally means strength and power coming from knowledge and skill. Knowledge and skill together are implements that extend human powers; technocracy is the environment within which the implements are used – a sustainable environment.
