Technocracy is basically the idea that everyone works for free and recieve everything for free. That is, we recieve what we want, and we work for nothing.
I wanted to conduct a study on how many doctors there would be in such a society. That is, do people really work because they find it interesting, or do they just do it for money?
Unfortunatly, I can't find an international forum so I had to ask on a danish forum.
This is a forum for doctors and people studying medicine.

The question is basically that if everything was free in the world, and money was abolished, would you work as a doctor?
The answers are clearly a NO. They say that they would just consume all they wanted and stop working and studying.
This however has also shown the public something which may have been a taboo. But it is now clear: Academics are not academics because they like their field. Doctors do not become doctors because they want to help people. People work for money, and if they could recieve everything for free and not having to work in order to recieve something, they don't want to work. The workers say so themselves.
This will undermine the whole idea of Technocracy.
It is saddening, but this is the reality. People ARE selfish by nature, and if they can choose to not work, and just consume big cars etc. they would do so. Only a very small minority would work.
