Technocracy: Libthink — Technology is Magic

My WND Technocracy column this week is about the way liberals treat technology like a magical panacea unconnected to reality.

But could such a small space station possibly have enough resources to treat everyone, and for free? In a liberal universe, this is not a question one asks.

This is very apparent in popular culture and in the news, most notably in the failure of Obamacare and the disastrous issues its website experienced. Progressives seem to think that just having a website (or wanting to have one) is enough to make massive logistics come together.

In reality, people who actually work for a living know that things don’t happen simply by waving a wand at them labeled “high tech.”  You actually have to think through how these things work, and you have to understand the logistics behind them.
