Scientocracy

Scientocracy is an ideology which advocates for government and public policy based on scientific evidence and/or of the opinions of scientists and experts. It is distinct from Technocracy, which is the rule of scientists and experts.

[[File:Newton.png]] Newtonism
Newtonism is based so much on the scientific, political, religious and philosophical views of Sir Isaac Newton. The main reason Newton is known is for the formulation of the theory of gravity along with the law of universal gravitation, in which all particles and bodies attract each other in a reciprocal way, with the same intensity, would soon explain the movement of the solar system, with the sun attracting the planets and the earth attracting the moon and the bodies around it, even if the moon also attracts the earth, only in the opposite direction. Stating that "the forces which hold the planets in their orbs must (be) reciprocally as the squares of their distances from the centers around which they revolve". Color theory was responsible, with a prism that separates the white color into colors of the visible spectrum. He also created the 3 laws of motion, which are:
 * 1) A body remains at rest, or in motion with constant velocity in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force.
 * 2) When a body is acted upon by a force, the time rate of change of its momentum is equal to the force.
 * 3) If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same intensity, but opposite directions.

The other views would be his participation in the Enlightenment movement, classical liberalism and the view of the Whig party (free trade), Aristotelian philosophical thoughts, strong Christian influence and opposition to atheism.

Beliefs
Scientocracy is the belief in a government of the people, but based on science. This does not entail that scientists will run the country directly, but rather that political leaders will be informed by scientists. Scientocrats believe this will end the constant arguing over decisions that politicians so often have and will speed up progress and decision-making since all politicians would then be informed with what, based off scientific, analytical knowledge, would be the best steps to take.

History
Florence Caddy wrote a book titled Through the fields with Linnaeus: a chapter in Swedish history. Published two volumes in 1887. In these two sentences she uses "society of the scientocracy" and "scientocrats" to refer to groups of eminent scientists of that time.

In 1933, Hugo Gernsback defined Scientocracy as "the direction of the country and its resources by Scientists and not by Technicians" However Scientocracy faded to obscurity in modern days, due to the rising popularity of Technocracy

Personality
He is very inelegant and nerdy, sometimes he acts mean, but it's mostly to other Polcompballs that don't understand science. He is the stereotypical scientist or geeky kid at school. He likes to put research into things. He can be portrayed as a non-scientist, as you don't need to be a scientists to be a scientocrats. He can also be a torturer and a sadist and will literally murder anyone for innovation.

Friends (THE SCIENCE TEAM)

 * [[File:Technocracy.png]] Technocracy - My brother, he is a good administrator, but he stole all of my fame!
 * [[File:Neotech.png]] Technoliberalism - My number 1 fan.
 * [[File:Transh.png]] Transhumanism - He will help us to evolve and improve the human race.
 * [[File:Envi.png]] Environmentalism - She will help us to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment.
 * [[File:Cybercr.png]] Cyberocracy - Also supports the rule of information, how neat!
 * [[File:Merit.png]] Meritocracy - He has talent, and puts effort into political research.
 * [[File:Nooc.png]] Noocracy - My beloved father, through me that smart people should rule this world. Why did you [[File: Eugen.png]]flirt with him though?
 * [[File:Radcent.png]] Radical Centrism - I agree that some parts of ideologies are good and all, but did you do your research?
 * Cosmic.png Cosmicism - You got big dreams bro. Take these anti-depressants and lets roll!
 * [[File:Laicism.png]] Laicism - Based. Religion shouldn't influence our government.
 * [[File:Prim.png]] Primal Primitivism - An endangered species, must be protected at all costs so I can subject them to experiments.

Frenemies

 * [[File:Ormarxf.png]] Marxism - This whole "scientific socialism" thing I like. Some of your followers are a bit anti-science though.
 * [[File:Farm.png]] Agrarianism - Agriculturalism IS a science after all, but he is too backwards.
 * [[File:Neolud.png]] Neoluddism - The industrial revolution was flawed and all, but we can fix what we did wrong.
 * [[File:Indust.png]] Industrialism - He is way too backwards, but helped me to become possible.
 * [[File:Arist.png]] Aristocracy - My grandfather, who laid the foundation for me, but he is not qualified to rule.
 * [[File:Posadist.png]] Posadism - While I understand enthusiasm for science, the love for nukes is not helping.
 * [[File:Dem.png]] Democracy - I get being for the people, but what's popular isn't necessarily the right thing to do. Why not put research into it? Also democracy is very slow, have "ad populum" bias and inefficient. Secretive science based power of few is much better and faster.
 * [[File:Liqdem.png]] Liquid Democracy - So what's next? Gas Democracy? Plasma Democracy? Bose-Einstein Condensate Democracy?
 * [[File:ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism - I like the pragmatic approach you take to societal structure and emphasis on education, but sometimes you suppress the potentials of those who conflict with your ideology.
 * [[File:JessePinkman.png]] Soulism - Jesse we have to cook meth. What's so bad about the laws of physics?
 * [[File:StateathFedora.png]] State Atheism - Look buddy, separation of church and state is good and all, but you're overall just an embarrassing mess who takes it way too far. Also being a religious scientist isn't necessarily an oxymoron.
 * [[File:Antr.png]] Anarcho-Transhumanism - You too seek a rational and progress-minded society! But... anarchism, really? Do you actually believe society can reach that technological apex you desire without a scientific-guided state? Good luck I guess... Free will is an illusion. So you are free.
 * [[File:POSTHUMANISMICON.png]] Post-Humanism - An extremist version of [[File:Transh.png]] Transhumanism, robots are machines, robotics are a type of technology and technology is an application of science but why do you want humans to be robotised?

Enemies

 * [[File: Comb.png]] Combatocracy - Called me a nerd in high school.
 * [[File: Ochlo.png]] Ochlocracy - Stop beating me up, you bunch of bullies!
 * [[File: Kak.png]] Kakistocracy - The worst of all, you have a lot to learn.
 * [[File: Demarchy.png]] Demarchy - At least Democracy has a choice.
 * [[File: React.png]] Reactionarism - Medieval science has no basis in the modern day.
 * [[File: AnEn.png]] Anti-Environmentalism - Opposition to nature woo, I get. But this? You're basically just a generic Captain Planet villain.
 * [[File: Eugen.png]] Eugenicism - Pseudoscientific nonsense, and there are no social genes. Experimenting with twins raised in different families (one is rich and educated and the other is poor and without education or job) confirms that. I feel embarrassed knowing I used to be friends with you.
 * [[File:Lysenko.png]] Lysenkoism - Alright, you are a f*cking psychopath. Seriously bro? Rejecting the existence of genes? Uncool.
 * [[File:Polpot.png]] Pol Potism - Please don't kill me for wearing glasses.
 * [[File:Confem.png]] Conservative Feminism - Vaccines AREN'T trying to microchip you, Karen.
 * [[File:Lawson.png]] Lawsonomy - Kudos for inventing the commercial airline, but you're still extremely pseudoscientific.
 * [[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] Right-Wing Populism - Pathetic conspiracy theorists.
 * Trumpism.png Trumpism - Why do you go against me so much? Well, at least you're OK with vaccines.
 * [[File:Anti-Humanism.png]] Anti-Humanism - You betrayed your own species, we're all human and so are you?
 * [[File:VHMent.png]] Voluntary Human Extinction - Especially you.
 * [[File:Esofash.png]] Esoteric Fascism - "Hello. That one patient escaped from the mental hospital again. Bring him back immediately, before he kills someone!" Lost extraterrestrial artifacts and UFOs inside deepest places of oceans? I'm very skeptical about it, but deeply I am really interested in alien-related things. Maybe after catching him, he will take me to those places?
 * Most Quadrant [[File:Stalin.png]] [[File:Nazcap-Hat.png]] [[File:Ancom.png]] [[File:Ancapf.png]] extremists - How many costumes does [[File:Kak-Dunce.png]] Kakistocracy have?
