I come from the world of architecture, where the writing is similarly horrible. Nearly all architectural theory going back 100 years is unbearably dumb, but loaded with 10-cent words to try to impress you of its intellectual depth. The best is when architects try to pretend they are French philosophers, and try to relate the design of a particular detail to Derrida.
The worst thing is that to become an architect, you must endure 5 or 6 years of this garbage at university. It's why so much of our modern built landscape looks like it was designed by the mentally ill.
I studied literature in undergrad (which remained quite classically analytical and structured), so when I was in grad school, for fun I enrolled in a film course in another part of the university. It was a sub- culture of absolute BS writing. It was a shocking exposure. I think as I've gotten older I have even less patience for all of the pretense and abstract posturing. I already applaud your patience in getting through The Great Reset at all. I think Schwab definitely believes in his ideas- and they are comically quite bad, but contain enough evil to cause a world of damage.
It may sound a bit mystical but imho the WEF freaks have to announce their plans for us to gain a sort of passive agreement to their bizarro ambitions for the human race.
Their half-baked mystical symbolism requires consent.
*consent being loosely defined here as we now know that farmyard cattle have higher consciousness than a vast portion of humans.
I do believe Klaus’s meanderings are the product of a mediocre mind, but I also believe he is playing a significant role in implementing the sinister agendas of his muses and mentors—most notably Henry Kissinger and Yuval Noah Harari, as I outline in my “Anatomy of a Philanthropath” series:

They are going to used "emergency powers" saying that unless we embrace the green new revolution and start the de-growth process (no energy--no food--no travel without permission) the climate will continue to warm causing more deadly pandemics. Unless Western societies go back into lockdown we will all be dying of new deadly diseases. They already know the public is deadly afraid of that possibility so it will be an easy transition. The Great Reset is on---and they will not stop---unless a revolution occurs to destroy these evil Overlords. Nothing short of that will stop them.

There are too many examples of truly bad writing, and too many examples of it being sent up, Sokal, the Postmodernism Generator to name just two, for this to be accidental. Schwab believes his crap. He's even, dare I say it, right in a sense, about some of it. We are all working ourselves out of our own jobs. Schwab's weakness as a philosopher and futurist is that he is just the kind of stereotypically unimaginative, one-track moron, that he, personally, can't work out what we will all be doing in 100 years. Therefore he can only conclude that, as he has no great sage guidance for us, and we mere underlings cannot possibly work out new and interesting ways to earn our daily bread by satisfying the wants of our fellow men in hitherto unknown ways, we must of course be doing nothing. Thus most of us can be done away with. Through natural wastage, of course, seeing as mass murder is no longer en vogue.
On this, Schwab is no more right than, and certainly at least as unimaginative as, the hand-wringing Malthusians of the 1800s and 1900s, watching agricultural productivity soar and wondering how they could possibly stop revolution once the 95% of the working population labouring in the fields is no longer needed. While university economics departments everywhere are still wondering what to do with the 2% of the western workforce that was engaged in making cathode ray tubes, the actual economy is already working on the second successor to the cathode ray tube, and the factory workers have been redeployed.
We have no problem of underemployment, instead we have a problem of overproduction, sufficiently excessive to fund a burgeoning global socialist paradise that even (proper, not American) liberals and capitalists can tolerate. For now.
Anyway, that's not what caught my eye, it was the "day job avoidance".
I have myself worked out that, absent supervision in an office, I can do my day job in between 2 and 4 hours a day. I haven't worked out how to use the extra free 6 to 8 (inc travel time) in a productive or self-edifying way. Partly because some of my time is spent "on call" to most of the world's time zones, and partly because I am human, thus inherently lazy. Tips for how to reinstill some discipline in my daily routine would be gratefully accepted.
“A pandemic is something we really need to take advantage of and possibly create either by virus manufacturing or media manipulation “ Klaus Schwab The Great Reset in one sentence.
I think a lot of this obfuscation comes about because the 'deep thinkers' don't want to admit they can't follow along, so they mindlessly bob their heads in agreement to the smart-sounding guy.
I am glad my company consists of a dog and 3 cats who cannot read or write but can tell me exactly what they want (usually food)
I love this, and it cracks me up.

They should just call it a TED Talk for Davos and be done with it
Entertaining and apt. Couldn’t actually make myself read the entire third example. Amazing this kind of drivel gets published.

I agree with both you and Igor 😁

"professional brown person Mary Rambaran-Olm" hahaha amazing.

I can't believe I read all of those quotes in their entirety. I feel like I need a lie down.

Great posting E!
