I don't know. Every time I try to think about what a "great reset" might mean, I keep running into brick walls. The idea seems to encompass so many different facets, each of which seems problematic, as far as solutions go, in its own right.
I don't think social engineering on national scales has ever been successful, never mind on a global scale.
So,

Here's just one question to ponder: who has the right to decide how everyone must live?
And a second question: who has the wisdom to decide how everyone must live? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

That seems like a behavioural psychology issue. The ad men have supposedly been right on top of that shit since the latter half of the 20th Century. Personal I don't rate people very good at reprogramming people on a large scale, AI does a much better job.
This is one of the reasons I'm totally relaxed about the takeover by our Lizard Overlords. Being a computer programmer I'll always be viewed as a privileged class so it's hair shirts for thee and not for me ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

How do you know you haven't been "socially engineered", you may even be just some swarf on the workshop floor. |

That's what I love about it all. Everyone assumes they won't be in the untermensch classes But it is often the case that even some of those who engineer the changes end up being discarded. You have to keep an eye on the trends, and keep reinventing yourself to avoid that. So forget having principles, they'll get you killed eventually. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

The key points I saw were:
- Automation is taking jobs
- We will end up with society divided into two sides: 1. The engineers/programmers/managers, and 2. The Useless Classes of people who don't need to work
So the question is, what can be done about the Useless Classes.
The answers are things like Universal Basic Income.
The next problem is: What are the risks in this impending new social divide? Governments could create a UBI, but only give a pittance and let people starve, or they could use a UBI for political means, e.g. a "means tested" UBI which is really a case of "we'll give money only to those who will do as we desire (vote for us, go to war, etc)".
That's what I saw from the WEF stuff. Rather than it being any kind of big conspiracy, it was an important discussion about what's going to happen next in the world.

I'm not so sure that millions, or billions of people will sit around idly while governments engineer a society in which they're all redundant anyway. I think governments or whoever is trying to run the show might find a parallel world of work and industry springs up. People will just find that the powers that be are irrelevant to them. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but the evolution of humanity definitely seems to have a cycle of "invent new convenience, create more leisure time." That's what Nature/Ghia/God/Evolution/Whatever has created: a creature that adapts their environment rather adapting to their environment - the ultimate general purpose, multiple niche, pain in the arse of a being ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I always recall the case of an old boy I knew who used to cut sheet metal as a trade. Made redundant in his 50s due to computer-controlled plasma cutters. "Learn to code?" nope, he ended up a temazepam addict ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
