We are seeing a strange convergence of both China and the West towards a materialistic, technocratic approach to the world, argues N.S. Lyons.

"There's a number of ideas that emerged out of, let's say, the Enlightenment period…the idea that human beings can and should manage everything, control everything…this idea that you can not only engineer things, material things, but socially engineer things like a government.

…If you can engineer things to be improved to function the way you want them to, then the logical step is that if you did that well enough, if you had perfect knowledge & perfect engineering, you could create a perfect system, a utopian system."
