It essentially equates technocrats with some other superficial, vaguely liberal, cultural phenomena (big bang theory or i fucking love science type stuff). Hard to explain but I think it works well as technocracy has a pretense of being scientific and ineffable to the common person, but in reality it's pretty superficial and just constructed so as not to disturb established power structures.
