The technocratic era is coming to an end this decade. Human expertise and control over rational machines, on which technocracy rests, look like childish illusions in the face of super-powerful AIs whose programmers cannot understand their own creations. Deterministic rationalism is being swept away by inscrutable decision-making machines that operate at speeds beyond human reckoning. What comes next will be more like myth than enlightenment even as enlightened self interesr reasserts itself.
