The Most Dangerous Man In The World

 You know about the "Mask Nazis," right?  These are the people who take it upon themselves to be the sheriffs of mask wearing.  I think they would like to be able to hand out tickets for those caught not wearing their masks, or not wearing them "correctly."  You know, covering the mouth and the nose.  And of course, there are also the "salt Nazis."  These are the people who of course don't put salt on anything they cook, and by golly, you should put salt on anything you cook either.  These people have found what in their minds is THE TRUTH, and they are bound and determined to force everyone to comply with it.

But, it occurs to me that if Klaus Schwab has his way, we all may be pouring salt on everything we eat, not wearing masks, and engaging in other risky behaviors because life simply won't be worth extending.  So who is this Klaus Schwab, you say?  Well, John Mac Ghlionn asks Is Kaus Schwab The Most Dangerous Man In The World? over at Townhall.com. It seems that Klaus and the gang over at the World Economic Forum have plans for you life, and those plans won't be fun. "You vill own nothing, and you vill be happy!" Or else.

"Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city - or should I say, 'our city'. I don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any appliances or any clothes. It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service.'

These are not lines from an episode of “Black Mirror.” No, these lines come directly from the World Economic Forum website. Founded in 1970, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is arguably the most influential platform in the world. Each year, some of the most influential figures in politics and tech gather for a meeting in Davos. The most recent meeting occurred in January, and the topics discussed are of profound importance.

As Anthony P. Mueller, a professor of economics, warns, “The main thrust of the forum is global control. Free markets and individual choice do not stand as the top values, but state interventionism and collectivism. Individual liberty and private property are to disappear from this planet by 2030.”

There are no words for the arrogance and hubris of these people (Bill Gates is one of them). Bill Gates is also involved in a scheme to cool the planet by spreading light reflecting salts in the stratosphere. Who appointed Bill Gates to be God. For that matter, who appointed Klaus Schab to be the determiner of what each of our lives should be. Admittedly, some of our purchases are emotional, in that people go shopping as a form of therapy, or to fill a hole in their soul. But can you imagine, say, Brian Setzer without his Gretsch guitar, or Wynton Marsalis without his signature trumpet? I no longer use a slide rule, but I will die with it, as with some of my books that I simply can not give up. These are tools, that one uses every day. And what one does gives us purpose.

In 2018, the German wrote a book called Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

With the merging of physical, digital, and biological worlds, this revolution is like nothing that came before. All other revolutions relied on human input. This revolution, however, eliminates millions, if not billions, of people from the employment equation.

While the eradication of some jobs is both necessary and laudable, most jobs are not inherently dangerous. They give people a sense of purpose, and a sense of purpose is essential to living life to its fullest. Universal Basic Income (UBI) may help to put food on the table, but it can never address the problem of purpose. Where will our purpose come from when so many jobs are gone?

The disingenuous “retrain the masses” arguments simply don’t work, either. Retrain people for what? In the future, with recursive self-improvement, AI systems will be able to learn from their mistakes and ultimately become smarter. No need for human input. In fact, no need for humans.

I feel that these extremely wealthy oligarchs look at the rest of us as widgets in their machines. In their minds, we do not have value in and of ourselves. We are not made in image of God, because in their minds, Klaus Schwab is God.In their own minds, they have accounted for our minimum physical needs, but they have forgotten the most important part of anyone is spiritual. China Anyone?
