Edit:
Ok, so from what I've gathered, you guys are basically a million Progressive podcasts' communities hiding under a trenchcoat that you call a Lemmy community...
I don't think anyone really makes a decision about stuff like this, the position of everything (atomic, subatomic whatever) is predetermined by cause and effect (including the stuff in your brain that causes "thoughts" and the hallucination of free will)
Bazinga brain are people who believe that gadgets and widgets and technology will solve humanities problems because the best technology will rise to the top via the neoliberal marketplace. It's pop science utterly divorced from humanism. Think elon musk or Neil degrasse Tyson, in contrast with scientists that have a sense of compassion for humanity, like Carl Sagan. Scientism wedded to an implicit faith in capitalism
I think there's an aspect of it that relates to whiz-bang aesthetics of tech marketing too. Not just a faith in techno-solutions, but a celebration of the belief that techno-solutioning is really the only thing that makes society/existence improve, and these solutions only come from techno-genius individuals.
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.
