Technical tyranny

Humanity finds itself at a turning point these days. Due to scientific and technological progress some forces intend to change the way mankind lives. This new way of governing humanity can be called governance and denotes a new kind of running human affairs. It is a technocratic model that tends to reduce human beings to machines and that ignores completely the proper human dimensions of human beings. The rise of management and organization sciences is an example of the fact that human existence is now modelled after the Jacques Ellul called the technical system. The practical result of this development is tyranny.
