The Terrifying Vacuity of Klaus Schwab.

[Mindful]

A review of COVID-19: The Great Reset, one of the dumbest, most tedious and utterly pointless books ever written.

The Great Reset is not a book that begins with a fully-formed argument, which it seeks to articulate through successive proofs. Nor is it a book that finds its purpose along the way. It is of that still more miserable variety, that is always on the verge of discovering what it means to say, but can never quite get there. I have a vision of Schwab in his study, typing furiously with extended index fingers like a bicephalic chicken, marshalling all his meagre powers to reconstruct the very unexpected pandemic in which he found himself, such that it might better resemble the kind of global ESG stakeholder capitalism woo crisis that Schwab would really prefer to pronounce upon. “We must get back to my pet themes” is what Schwab is trying to tell us in The Great Reset. It is above all a childish book.

Schwab’s core idea is that the pandemic will either remake or reset our world, and thus political and corporate leaders have before them a unique opportunity to Build Back Better and make everything more ESG-complaint. At the same time, he seems strangely undecided on the nature of this reset and the role of the virus in bringing it about.

In the introduction, for example, we find this string of absurdities:

Many of us are pondering when things will return to normal. The short response is: never. Nothing will ever return to the “broken” sense of normalcy that prevailed prior to the crisis because the coronavirus pandemic marks a fundamental inflection point in our global trajectory …. Radical changes of such consequence are coming that some pundits have referred to a “before coronavirus” (BC) and “after coronavirus” (AC) era. … (p. 12)

^ So far I’ve tried to focus on Schwab’s core arguments, to show why they’re nonsense even on their own terms. Schwab is wrong about a lot of other things though, and there’s some real howlers in these pages. There is his apparently earnest belief that “the post-pandemic era will usher in a period of massive wealth redistribution, from the rich to the poor and from capital to labour” (p. 77). When you’re done laughing, you’ll see that the statement rests on superficial historical comparisons to things like the Black Death, which drove up the cost of labour by killing millions and millions of peasant farmers and artisans. Schwab can’t see that there’s no equivalence between a plague that kills 40% of the European population and a virus with at best a 99.6% IFR concentrated almost entirely in the retired elderly. That’s how stupid he is.

Then there’s his strange attempts to make the pandemic responsible for the Floyd riots, and his recurring assertion that “the greatest underlying cause of social unrest is inequality” (p. 88)—ignoring the clear historical pattern that it is liberalising reforms and rising expectations which spark social uprisings. And there’s his repeated insistence that nations which are “perceived as providing a sub-par response to the pandemic” (p. 98) may face a legitimacy crisis, and “that many governments will be taken to task, with a lot of anger directed at those policy-makers and political figures that have appeared inadequate or ill-prepared in terms of their response to dealing with COVID-19” (p. 76). All that’s happened since Schwab wrote, of course, is the steady repudiation of mass containment, which every day grows more open.

Schwab is not only wrong; he’s also a creep, but I’m far from the first to notice, and there’s little point in going very far into this aspect of The Great Reset.

The annual murder ratio between Blacks and Whites is 2:1. *DOJ
But the Yellow Press only makes is a racial issue or injustice issue if there is a Black victim of interracial murder.
The Left Wing Media distorts reality and enflames racial tensions on purpose.

I was reading a thread on FB the other day, some of my very far socialist friends who voted for Biden, I forget what they were talking about. Just insane crap, and one of them brought up Klaus Schwab and the WEF. They told the person's whose page it was, that they just learned of this guy, and that the WEF and DAVOS are really a thing. . .

lol

Apparently, on the left, they don't actually believe that this organization, or the WHO is all that important, or has all that much influence in American affairs. Most folks that watch lefty TEE VEE, or engage with BIG TECH, just don't believe it is much of a thing. To them, it is all, mostly, still conspiracy talk.

They are still pretty shocked when they look into it and find there is some truth behind it all.

Well, he may be the antichrist, but I believe we can all agree that nobody rocks the Doctor Evil business suit quite like Klaus Schwab.
