These “elites” probably have degrees in gender studies and they probably really believe that there are 52 genders.

Oh, I think they know full well exactly what they are doing.

Universities are where the smartest people are to be found? I don’t think so. William F. Buckley suggested we would be better off being governed by the first thousand people listed in the white pages of the Boston phone book. For me, that goes for college graduates as well. It’s the Dunning-Kruger effect perfectly illustrated.

They do know what they are doing. What they are doing is not what they say they are doing.

This is all just a slight variation on “The Emperor has no Clothes” parable. Except that we are gambling with the future of civilization.

Assuming we are even able to pull this off, how long will all this battery power last? Electric car batteries tend not to last more than 8 years, but which time they lost more than 30% of their storage capacity. And how will we dispose of it?

What is it?!? Some people regard power over others as a drug. They cannot get enough. Like an addict, they will lie, cheat, steal, prostitute and connive to get one more fix.

Do not believe they do not know what they are doing.

What they are doing will result in the deaths of billions of people as a lack of power cripples humanity and leaves them no food, no energy to produce it, and the standard of living common to pre-industrial ages.

Now listen to them tell you how important it is to reduce the population of humanity to what it was 500 years ago.

The destruction is intentional.

It doesn’t work.

It isn’t supposed to.

It’s supposed to depopulate the planet.

“The destruction is intentional.”

Yes they want power .. just not the kind that lights a light bulb.

I think we should just run a power cord to the sun ...
makes as much sense as what they want to do.

The elites know EXACTLY what they’re doing.

Long ago, the elites DID NOT know what they were doing - so they trusted the experts and because of that, we got the excellent energy grid we have today.

But now they FULLY UNDERSTAND what they are doing, otherwise they wouldn’t know how to tear down our grid, as they are doing now.

BUT the idea is to keep us thinking they’re dumb, and all they need is to be ‘guided’ towards the enlightenment...rather than to be THROWN IN JAIL.

Agreed. The elites know what they’re doing ... except the part where they think they’re God.

"It’s the Dunning-Kruger effect perfectly illustrated."

It occurs to me that the Dunning-Kruger effect is likely much more common today than it was years ago, because universities and grade schools are telling everyone that they're all exceptional, even brilliant, when in reality, the vast majority are utterly ignorant morons.

No grades (or grades inflated to the point of being meaningless), everyone gets a trophy, etc. Entire generations of supposedly "educated" people who know almost nothing of any practical worth, and who possess zero critical thinking ability. It is dangerous to give any power/authority to such people, which is why the world is the way it is today.

I found some old sci-fi books written in the 50's, 60's and 70's, and one thing that came through loud and clear is that the bigger the institution, the less likely it was to be competent.

There was a reason why we were taught not to trust the government - they screwed things up royally, never knowing or caring why or how they failed.

Does no one in these hallowed halls (especially at MIT) remember a short story written by Arthur C Clarke, Superiority?

The next time someone posits that our CDC knows all, I will utter the word "Thaliomide", and see if they have enough sense to shut up.

What's going to do for them is the Unintended Consequences.

In reality they know exactly what they’re doing. Their mission is the transfer of most of the world’s wealth to themselves along with the associated power and control. No matter the outcome, this will not end well for anyone.
