A true technocracy would mean a lot of oxygen wasters will lose their jobs, money, livelihood and influence. It will probably work out better for the citizenry, but I don't see how we'd ever end up there short of a violent revolution - the current system is self-serving first and foremost and will never allow itself to be replaced even if that is the true will of the citizens.
