Between 2021-2025, five major reports from major, influential global institutions outlined a remarkably similar vision for how the world should be governed.
Thanks for all this work. One aspect that I find very striking, not just in these papers but going back to GOSPLAN and the East German planners is that they do not put much thought into the funds-generating side of affairs. Distribution, yes, but all that money seems to just appear from somewhere.
I wonder what they’ll do now that it’s about to run out.
The grandiosity of these ambitions is truly mind-boggling. These people seem to have such narcissistic involvement in their own ideas that they can not see how detached from reality their vision of the future is. Terrifying as it is to behold, it is equally beyond my imagination to see how their dystopian technocracy could possibly fail to meet with fantastic resistance from anyone with any shred of humanism left in them. Because so many people were fooled by the propaganda campaign of COVID, they now feel they can manipulate people as easily as moving pieces on a chessboard. But people are not pieces, and life is not a game played by players. Moreover, they make up the rules of this supposed game as they go along, making a mockery of the entire project. They presume no one will see through their dissembling and megalomania, and just "go along to get along". Sure, some will. Some always do. But many have learned from the past years, and those who weren't fooled in the first place have doubled down in their resistance to authoritarianism. I certainly hope I am not under-estimating these tech-bros, but I cannot imagine their success when so many other with megalomaniac visions before them have failed miserably.
Most people aren’t even aware of it’s being a technocratic dystopia precisely because it’s dressed up as a science based moral imperative. Most people genuinely believe the ‘science’ isn’t cooked to hell and back, and while some object to visions of ‘stakeholder’ rule, it’s sufficiently opaque for most to not realise exactly what the problem is.
I have to agree with you, but for a different reason. I think most people aren't even bothering to think about what is happening. They are still in a kind of post-COVID trauma state - PCSD -- and can't wrap their minds around even grander conspiracies that may be afoot. They're just too stressed out to care anymore. I think this was the plan - bamboozle them until they just give up.
