Missing From the WEF’s Great Reset: A Moral Compass
Epoch Times ^ | February 12, 2021 | Ryan Moffatt Ryan Moffatt

Globalization has afforded non-governmental organizations, the ultra wealthy, and Big Tech power and influence on a global scale once reserved for the world’s superpower states.

The World Economic Forum, which describes itself as an international organization for public-private co-operation, has proposed a “Great Reset” initiative to rework global economics to address the challenges of the post-pandemic world. The WEF paints a picture of a 2030 in which America will lose its place as the preeminent superpower, a billion people will be displaced by climate change, carbon will be taxed globally, and “you will own nothing and be happy.”

The WEF frames the afflictions of the world primarily in economic and climate terms while advocating that individual property rights can be discarded, privacy can be sacrificed, and national sovereignty can be dissolved—all for the greater good of addressing these two so-called existential threats. That it has the means to further this agenda is undeniable, as it is backed by world leaders, tech oligarchs, and the ultra wealthy who are seemingly eager to implement these changes on behalf of the rest of us.

But for all the proposals put forth by the WEF, there is little talk of principle. In line with other NGOs like the United Nations, the Great Reset adopts a value neutrality model, where moral relativism hinders any adoption of moral principle to guide policy and action.

Value neutrality, however, is not a sufficient doctrine to regulate global organizations who seek power and permission to change the world. There must be founding principles as cornerstones to ensure a consistently virtuous course of action. To this end, a robust conversation around guiding moral principles is imperative from those who seek to shape our future.

Morality is just an ugly vestige of white racist colonialism in tomorrow’s world.

That and being accurate with math.

There is a very good science fiction novel written by Walter Tevis. The title is “Mockingbird”. He wrote it 41 years ago.

This sorta reminds me of Brave New World, but the novel by Tevis is a definite jolt as well.

Thank you for posting this.

“If you can’t own property, You are the property.”

Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1981 and 1994/6. They are currently between 25 and 40 years old (72.1 million in the U.S.) Gen Y. 1 = 25-29 years old (around 31 million people in the U.S.)Jan 13, 2021

Their next life limiting factor is zero employment skills.

Were will these people live when their parents die or lock their doors to keep their Gen Y’s out of their homes?

Maybe cheap SRO units?

SRO units are rented out as permanent residence and/or primary residence to individuals, within a multi-tenant building where tenants share a kitchen, toilets or bathrooms. SRO units range from 80 to 140 square feet. In the 2010s, some SRO units may have a small refrigerator, microwave and sink.

Again, GenY’s can’t do math nor write sentences or paragraphs.

They have zero skills for today’s and tomorrow’s world.

So what can they do?

Vote for democrats in elections and live in SRO’s and own nothing!
