For one, the WEF is not actually aiming for people to "own nothing and be happy," as the author states.
Why did they say it? https://xcancel.com/wef/status/983378870819794945
Those are predictions...not policies. You'll note that the WEF is far from the only group saying that meat consumption will go down because of climate change.
It said that, as in it literally said that that was a prediction the member had for the future. It is no way an economic policy of the WEF. And its not deleted.
Not really. Show me where the WEF is publicly planning to get rid of private ownership.
Way back in the 90's I used to date a pretty crazy Christian girl who saw my tech prowess as useful for fighting "the mark of the beast" which she thought was some kind of future government electronic ID. While she was kind of nuts about Christian conspiracies, I actually kind of agreed about where we were headed with electronic surveillance - even back in the 90's we kind of saw this coming.
It's interesting how people often have the same fears and enemies but express and interpret them in different ways.
I'd prefer to read about techno-dystopianism from a source that isn't actively looking and praying for signs of the end of the world...
I remember the local evangelical TV station running "documentaries" about the "mark of the beast" and "cashless societies" when I was a kid in the early 90s. I assume this is more of that.
It's a fair point. I actually posted the article mostly to get discussion... and before I realized exactly what the rest of the website was about. So I would urge taking things in that spirit, including feeling free to call out that the assertions in the article are wrong in fact or interpretation.
I do think it raises some fair questions about the drive to certain forms of digital commerce and identification. Perhaps, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.... at least sometimes...
For the record, I've seen no convincing evidence for the existence of a divine presence of any sort and don't support most of the site's messaging. Sure, we could be on the edge of real apocalypse, but am very doubtful that, should that day come, it will be the Christian Apocalypse or the same prophesied from any other faith for that matter.
