A little thread of my thoughts on the Great Reset, after reading his boring article. What's interesting is how little there is in it. Its all very platitudinous, like a tedious conversion with one of those idiots who like to say "stakeholder" a lot. https://time.com/collection/great-reset/5900748/klaus-schwab-capitalism/

I'm also very struck be the obession with metrics to measure general quality of life and wellbeing. Its been an obsession of governments for years. New Labour were huge on this, even trying to quantify how much birdsong people would hear and what is would do for quality of life.

The most important thing to understand is that none of this is new. All forms of utopianism regurgitate the same rubbish every generation. Fortunately what was euphemistically called "political realities" would get in the way ie. People don't vote to take away their liberties.

So governments have wanted to restict air travel for decades, but they couldn't because of "political realities"

Sadly, the lockdown disaster has thrown all those political realisties out of the window. So now they want to "build back better" and they can do so without any opposition. This will be disastrous because...

"Build Back Better orginates out of disaster relief. It actually makes sense when dealing with earthquakes or Tsunamis. You literally have to rebuild all that infrastructure. Makes sense to make it "better" as you do so.

But with the pandemic, nothing has actually physically been destroyed at all. There is nothing is "build back". So, they must "build back" our economy and society first. But you can't rebuild something that already exists. You have to tear it down first.

Ultimately all of this is social engineering. And ALL social engineering by ANY government is immoral. The problem is all politicians are obessed with it. Whether the pen-pushers on your local council or transglobal mandarins like Schwab.
