For someone who says this isn't a "pet project," you've sure done a lot of investigating of it. Including that one of the videos below is yours. I'm not sure how much of this dissertation I'll have time to read, but I'll start and try to tackle it in chunks.OK, let's start at the (recent) top. This actually goes much further back, but let's start here.
Sure, sounds like a perfectly noble effort, though the are a "club," and not taken that seriously by a lot of people.Background:
Club of Rome produces Limits to Growth report in 1972
Even at deeper than face-value.United Nations declares Agenda 21 in 1992 (non-binding)
United Nations declares Agenda 2030 in 2015
Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development | Department of Economic and Social Affairs
PreambleThis Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom.sdgs.un.org
All admirable documents at face value.
I get that there is a lot of controversy over the WEF and globalization in general. But let's put a pin in that.UN Teams up with WEF
UN signs agreement with World Economic Forum (WEF) to accelerate the 2030 Agenda...
which is largely this:
That's quite a leap, from actual information to a sensational twitter video. I find it to be manipulative, and the connection you make to it is the kind of gulf that puts off reasonable discourse, IMO. As in, you make no connection to it. It's not as point-by-point move into it...it's an attempt to jump the Grand Canyon.
SMART and Transhumanism
The biggest component is actually Transhumanism, and merging human biology into a SMART system. The WEF CEO Klaus Schwab explains you will be microchipped.
Video Summary: The Revolution will not change the way we interact. It will change us. A fusion of biology and digital.
This one is yours. Is that really what he meant? Also, is that the biggest component of all this? I appreciate that you posted it with not edits, but it's only a part of one speech. I would like to hear the whole speech.
Notice everything is SMART? SMART Energy, SMART Phones and now through to Smart Cities.
Not sure what you have against "smart," per se, but I'm with you here that I don't agree with this guy on a lot of things. He's like a lot of businessmen who think that because they have an idea, that everyone has to come along with it, even though that just doesn't work for everyone. Oh, and god forbid some of their ideas aren't the best.
Gotta stop here. No more time today. Cheers!
