Genius (Avatar)
While superstitionists refer to the guiding brilliance within them as an "avatar" (the spirit of an incarnated god), Technocrats know better. They understand the true significance of this driving force, and they refer to it as Genius. The word "avatar" not only carries supernatural baggage, it implies that a person is only a host for some greater spirit entity. "Genius" with it's connotations of superior intelligence, insight, revelation and Enlightened guidance, captures the true nature of this inner spark far better than the superstitionist ter ever could.
Every Technocrat has a bit of Genius within her. It's what allows her to understand the vast forces she commands. Yet that insight has it's price. When a human being has the doors of perception and possibility.
