This is one of those episodes. I 10 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys ever think about this, but 11 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: this is one of those episodes where I thought the 12 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: people in the audience today, uh might be somewhat distinguished guys. 13 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: We might have we we might have some very powerful 14 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: people tuning into today's episode. And that is that is 15 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: wild because these people, if you are listening, welcome, uh. 16 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: These people are under the effects of disasters that all 17 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: of humanity is currently struggling in. We live in what 18 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: is sometimes called interesting times. The global pandemic shook and 19 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: for a time silenced human routines. The environment is degrading 20 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: at a pace faster than a square pusher or Conlin 21 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: Nan Carroll's song I'm sorry, it was on my bucket 22 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: list of work in a reference at some point in 23 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: the show to that guy. Multiple regions of the globe 24 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: are moving closer to all out hot war inequality spiking. 25 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: Everybody knows this. We live amid one of the greatest 26 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: eras of wealth redistribution and human history, and not in 27 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: a way that benefits the vast majority of humanity. In short, 28 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: we've painted ourselves into one hell of a corner. And 29 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: like we said before on the show, everybody admits there 30 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: are serious problems, no one agrees how to fix them. 31 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: For the past few years, a transnational not for profit 32 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: organization called the World Economic Forum has been, according to them, 33 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: working towards solutions to these existential threats. Their newest plan 34 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: is something called the Great Reset Initiative. It kicked off 35 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: at their annual Davos meeting last year back in It's 36 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: got some powerful proponents, some powerful cheerleaders, and it has 37 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: a lot of critics from across across the gamut of 38 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: any spectrum you could imagine. And it also possesses more 39 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: than a healthy dollop of stuff. They don't want you 40 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: to know. This was a This is inspired by a 41 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: listener who I believe called in Is that correct? Yes, 42 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: and really thrashed us, but left with this like why 43 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: haven't you covered this topic? And and in a lot 44 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: of ways as a this we would have covered this anyway, 45 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: but also a little bit of how about this, buddy, 46 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: we're doing this episode? Well? Um, you know, as always, 47 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: thank you for taking the time to reach out to us, 48 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: fellow conspiracy realist. Let's get into it. To understand the 49 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: Great Reset initiative and to understand why so many people 50 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: love it and why so many more people are terrified 51 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: of it or hate it, we have to first understand 52 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: what Davos is. So here are the facts. So Davos 53 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: is the name that's used as shorthand for an annual 54 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: four day conference held by the World Economic Forum that 55 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: meets in Davos, Switzerland. Um, it's like kind of the 56 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: creme de la creme of you know, venture capitalists and 57 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: influencer types, but more like people at a high, high 58 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: level of that kind of world. The roots of the 59 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: organization date back to nine when a gentleman named Klaus Schwab, 60 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: Professor Klaus Schwab founded what was originally called the European 61 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: Management Forum, which was a nonprofit foundation based in Geneva. 62 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: In the first year, Schwab invited fo fifty executives from 63 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: influential companies across the West of Europe UH to the 64 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: first European Management Symposium at the Davos Congress Center. Yeah, okay, 65 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: and their their stated goal is we're going to take 66 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: all these leaders of European business, European firms, and we're 67 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: going to introduce them to what Professor Schwab calls American 68 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: management practices. So far, so good. It's a little dry, right, 69 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: I mean, business conventions happen all the time, or they 70 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: used to, and uh, there doesn't seem to be anything 71 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: abnormal about that. This became an annual event, you know 72 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: what I mean, like a really a much less cool 73 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: dragon commn where everybody's kind of wearing the same costume, 74 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: and it continues today. Over time, it experienced mission creep, 75 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: we could call it. Uh. It broadened in terms of 76 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: its scope and in terms of this actual conference that 77 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: you just described. Old Davos itself grew by the next decade. 78 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: Pretty soon after one, political leaders realized that this meeting 79 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: was an enormous opportunity to promote their interests. Some of 80 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: the most powerful businessmen, and they are still largely male. Uh, 81 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: Davos were all in one place. We're sitting ducks for 82 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: you to come and say, this is why you should 83 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: invest in my country, or this is why you should 84 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: agree with my ideological system. So it kind of you 85 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: could argue that it had either evolved or it was 86 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: kind of appropriated towards other ends. Right, it's a great 87 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: place to spread a thought virus, yes exactly, Yeah for sure. Yeah, well, 88 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: I guess we could jump forward here. So it began 89 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: doing that right, like you said, just after the seventies 90 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: when it was formed. Then seventeen years later, nineteen seven 91 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: after it was formed, it changes its name to officially 92 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: the World Economic Forum. And this is it's kind of 93 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: confusing because you've probably heard of this many times before. 94 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: It's been like just dropped somewhere in an article. There's 95 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: somebody in passing mentioned the w EF for the World 96 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: Economic Forum or daubos. And to get it, put it 97 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: all together, and to realize exactly what it is and 98 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: what it means, it takes some digging, just so be 99 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: aware of that. Oh yeah, yeah, we are. We are 100 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: spending maybe a little more time than usual on the background. 101 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: But I would argue it's because even are here are 102 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: the facts. Part is going to get very crazy in 103 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: just a moment, actually where it will. We'll still tell 104 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: you when the really crazy stuff begins. But the background 105 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 1: here is already weird. Yeah, And it's not all scary stuff. 106 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: There have been really great things that have come about, 107 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: largely because of, like you said, guys, the close interaction 108 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: that these leaders get to have with each other at Davos. Yeah, 109 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: Greece and Turkey were on the precipice of war in 110 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: nineteen uh they were able to take to step back 111 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: from that by signing the Davos Declaration at that conference. 112 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: Leaders from South Africa during the Mandela Era met at 113 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: Davos amid enormous political um tension, right, and the list 114 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: goes on and on. Yasser Era fat met with other 115 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: Middle Eastern leaders. This was um, well, if you want 116 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: to be very cynical, these were great photo ops, but 117 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: they also did have an impact on policy. The conversations mattered. Yeah, 118 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: but exactly. And this isn't like a recognized extra governmental body, right, 119 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: even inasmuch as like the u N is that thing, right, 120 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: It's just like a very high optics kind of event, 121 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: a meeting of the minds, and these things, these agreements 122 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: that we're talking about, would certainly be what you would 123 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: consider non binding, since they're absolutely not connected to actual government. 124 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: But it's a good look, and it's it's a thing 125 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: that it's like, Okay, we're gonna join hands and kumbaya 126 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: this out and then have like an understanding, and it 127 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: behooves every member of the agreement to kind of play 128 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: nice because it's a good look. Right. Yeah, Yeah, there's 129 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: a you know, peer pressure doesn't go away when you 130 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: become a billionaire or a head of state. You just 131 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: have different peers exerting different kinds of pressure. Uh, this 132 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: currently like a love to the point we're making here, um, 133 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: currently it can be difficult to define what the w 134 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: e F is in a single honest and accurate sentence. 135 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: You could say it is a think tank. You could 136 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: say it is a charitable foundation. At times, it is 137 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: all of those things, and it's other stuff too. Reading 138 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: the official literature of the w e F is and 139 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: this is no ding on their writers, it's not that 140 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: much help. Honestly, it is full of terms that are 141 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: very slick, that are vague, perhaps by design, but do 142 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: generally seem to indicate positive beneficial goals for for the 143 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: world overall, right, regardless of creed, nationality, etcetera. It describes 144 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: itself as quote the International Organization for Public Private Cooperation 145 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: shout out military industrial complex. Right. According to again their 146 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: their official literature, the w EF and Davos is independent, 147 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: it is impartial. It is somehow not tied to any 148 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: of the special interests of again the tremendously powerful people 149 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: who go there every year for four days. And you 150 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: can learn way more than you'd like to learn about 151 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: Davos and the World Economic Forum if you go to 152 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: that website, their official thing. Oh man, you will love it. 153 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: Read their codes of conduct. Just grab some t sit 154 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: down and just go all the way through it. You'll 155 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: love it. It'll be a great Saturday evening. Um. You can, 156 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: though more interestingly, read their like broader aims, or at 157 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: least they're stated aims right there. Their focus areas the 158 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: things that they want to cover in each year's session 159 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: or that they have covered in the past, and then 160 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: what they're looking to cover. Oh and there's some things 161 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: in here they're really interesting. Then mastering the Fourth Industrial 162 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: Revolution yes, it sounds nice, it sounds spooky to me. 163 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: It's one of their big one of their big three 164 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: concepts or areas of focus. So the w E e e 165 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: F says the Fourth Industrial Revolution quote represents a fundamental 166 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: change in the way we live, work, and relate to 167 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: one another. They describe bit as a new chapter in 168 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: human development. They talked about promise, peril, cadence, speed, depth, 169 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: all the good hits from corporate boardroom meetings, UM. But 170 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: what what it really is taken to mean in practical 171 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: terms is an acceleration of the digital revolution into things 172 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: like automation of industrial and manufacturing concerns, smart technology, machine 173 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: to machine communication, machine learning, and you know, the Internet 174 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: of things, which I think we've all well her various 175 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: projections about that for a number of years now. They're 176 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: also proposed there are other two big proposals are solving 177 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: the problems of the global commons and addressing global security issues. Uh. 178 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: These are two very important things. These are two crucial 179 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: things for the survival of not just the human species 180 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: but all the species that currently UM. I currently evolved 181 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: to live in a pre industrial world right, pre industrial environment, 182 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: and the commons I think especially is a very dangerous thing. 183 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: Global commons means things like natural resources that all people 184 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: share and to a degree rely on. So a problem 185 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: with the global commons would be something like um water 186 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: rights being given to a corporation that then takes the 187 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: water out of the local ecosystem with you know, damaging 188 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: long term effects. How do we fix that without breaking 189 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: civilization as we know it and bankrupting? Oh yeah, exactly. 190 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: And there's something a little eerie about the idea of 191 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: of of these uh rich and powerful super influencers discussing 192 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: the next phase of human evolution. That's a little uh 193 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: cringe e to me for some reason. I don't know why. 194 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: At the very least, it feels like it could easily 195 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: be tone deaf, you know, right, right? So, like who 196 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: is this for? Like you know what I mean? Like 197 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: which humans are we talking about? There's a potential for 198 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: a great puckering to occur when you really think about that, right, 199 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: puckering of the collective butthole is that well in all 200 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: the ways? So okay, current state the Great Reset Initiative. 201 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: As we said again, last year, UM around two thousand, 202 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: five hundred maybe ballpark three thousand people attended the annual 203 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: meeting as participants, as speakers, or as the primo stakeholders 204 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 1: you can call them if you want to be a 205 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: little crass. Who are these people? Well, the number includes 206 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: everyone from prime ministers to environmental activists like Reta Thundberg, 207 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: to bankers of course, and bankers haven't. It's funny because 208 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: some bankers have a lower position in the hierarchy. I'm 209 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: going with the dragon Con example. It's just the side 210 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: note there are you know how some people will go 211 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: to dragon Con, a very popular convention here in Atlanta, Georgia. 212 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: They'll go, but they won't pay for a dragon Con pass. 213 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: They'll hang out um and try to sneak into parties 214 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: and stuff the bank. Some of the bankers at Davos 215 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: do the same thing. Or there. There's like a gray 216 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: market trade in the badges you need to be admitted 217 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: to the city, and so they'll buy these at inflated 218 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: prices from hotels. They'll just hang out at those hotels 219 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: and then they'll wait for these um, you know, these 220 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: powerful people, these financial industrial whales, to come through grabbing 221 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: some drinks after you know, the meetings or the lectures, 222 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: and then they'll be like, hey, by the way, yeah, yeah, 223 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: it'll be like Hey, Paul Deck and Goldman Sex, pleasure 224 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: to meet you. Who's your boss? The actual Golden Sex. 225 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: Applebee's is the hot spot for for you know, hob 226 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: nobbing of the rich and famous and powerful. It makes 227 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: me think of like my hometown out of Augusta, Georgia 228 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: is very well known for the Masters Golf Tournament, which 229 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: is another meeting of the rich and powerful and um 230 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: really hard to get official tickets to the actual tournament, 231 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: but practice round tickets are a little easier to come by. 232 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: And I remember when I was a kid, me and 233 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: some friends would like hang out outside wait for people 234 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: to come, and they would just give us their practice 235 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: round badges and then we'd sell them rinse and repeat, 236 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: uh and then enough to buy ourselves a nice steak 237 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: dinner at Longhorn. Nice. Nice. I went in once with 238 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: them just to check it out, and I think I 239 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: went one other time with somebody that actually had real tickets, 240 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: but not my scene, but it was definitely fun to 241 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: feel like the little Oliver twist urchins, you know, begging 242 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: for can I please? I mean, I have her practice 243 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: round ticket? And some people that all those would love 244 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: that narrative because it's very free market, isn't it. That's 245 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: a good point. Get get something and then sell it 246 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: for a price of willing buyer will engage with. Yeah, 247 00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: it also includes Bollywood actors. It includes presidents, Yes, US 248 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: presidents Donald Trump when when the Trump administration was still 249 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: in office, he went to the last Davos meeting. And 250 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: the size of this thing, the sheer magnitude is crazy. 251 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: They are too great journalists who wrote an article about 252 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: this for the New York Times and they noted just 253 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: the sheer magnitude of this event. That's Michael J. Day 254 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: Lama said, and Russell Goldman. Yeah. And what they state 255 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: is specifically about the population of Davos, so you can 256 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: imagine it, oh like any smaller town that is a 257 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: vacation destination or something. So generally they're going to be 258 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: very few people living there year round. But when it's season, 259 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: when it's time for the season, wherever that place is, 260 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: my goodness, they're going to be a ton of folks 261 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: running through. And these reporters noted that the general population 262 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: of Davos is about eleven thousand human beings. Just at 263 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: at all times, there are eleven thousand people who are 264 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: going to be there. Then when when Davos rolls through 265 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: and they've got those four days, they got the conference. 266 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: Uh it's about thirty thousand people, so it triples almost 267 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: in size, and they call it the world's most expensive 268 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,479 Speaker 1: networking event. Yeah. I mean it's sort of like not 269 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: that much different from places like Sundance, you know, UM 270 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: or even the Masters. Like I said, I mean, Augusta 271 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: is is not a small town, but uh, they depend 272 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: on that business so much like restaurants and hospitality, you know, 273 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: companies and and uh you know places that do events 274 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: and all that. They live and die by that tournament. 275 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,239 Speaker 1: And when you know, COVID happened this year and it 276 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: didn't happen properly or they did it like a virtual 277 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: Masters with no humans. Uh, that was a big hit 278 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: for the economy. Yeah, these are these are big hits too. 279 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: In the case of Davos. Uh, specifically, we're going to 280 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: see that this is it bears those similarities just outlined, 281 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: but it goes so much further. It's cloak and dagger 282 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: stuff when you get to the bottom of it. But 283 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: oddly enough, as this organization continues to evolve or experiences 284 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: mission creep whichever way you see it. There is a 285 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: note that the audience changed so many many more political 286 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: leaders now and academics who were the original audience of 287 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: the conference back in ninety one are now by far 288 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: the smallest group represented, the people that were thought to 289 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: have the theoretical know how to tackle big problems. Uh. 290 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: There's also a ton of press, So unlike Bohemian Grove 291 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: or some other elite closed door get togethers, you know, 292 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: like I M F meeting or something, the media is 293 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: all over this one. Some form of media has access 294 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: to all official sessions, and some of these sessions are 295 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: even broadcast online, so you can walk them even if 296 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: you are not a Davos man, which will we'll get 297 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: into that weird phase later. Of course, this doesn't mean 298 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: you specifically, you fellow conspiracy realists, get to see everything. 299 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: That's because the entire this is what makes it different 300 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: from Dragon connor the Masters or any other convention. The 301 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: entire city of Davos is locked down during this event 302 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: leading up to it, and then after the you cannot 303 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: get in anywhere in the city unless you have been 304 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: invited by the w e F and some capacity. And 305 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: there's also you know, despite all the talk about dignity 306 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: for every person and um combating inequality, right, despite all 307 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: that talk, there is an intensely hierarchical badge system. I 308 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: think this is just like cartoonishly paradoxical, but I understand 309 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: if they have to why they have to do it 310 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: this way. The badge system determines your access. Wait for it, 311 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: white badges are the best. Those are the top members 312 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: of this four day society and civilization. Orange is that's 313 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: the press. You can go some places and can't go 314 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: all the places. Uh. And then there are other colored 315 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,719 Speaker 1: badges for support staff because remember Matt said the population 316 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: goes up to thirty thousand, but we said there were 317 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: like twenty five hundred to three thousand attendees. The rest 318 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: of that is like security support staff, uh, people, drivers, caterers, 319 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: personal bodyguards, personal assistants. You know what I mean. The 320 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: sort of small social ecosystem that gathers around powerful individuals. Right. 321 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: They rearely travel solo. Uh so yeah, cool cool, cool, 322 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: still very equal, I'm shure. Uh. The idea here is 323 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: that through honest, transparent conversation, these uh they're vert themselves 324 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: as stakeholders, will be able to cooperatively tackle those issues 325 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: that are simply too big for an individual and to 326 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: be it, state or corporation to solve. So building consensus, 327 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: the theory is allows the groups to make plans that, 328 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: just like pollution, do not stop it in a single 329 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: political border. It's kind of a cool idea. If it works, 330 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: Does it work? Ben? Does it work well? Thank you? 331 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you for that. Um, it's a great question. Uh, 332 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: does it work well? It depends on who you ask. 333 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: As you might imagine, there are a few, a few 334 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: bits of controversy about this idea of the rich and powerful, 335 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: uh enacting huge initiatives that go beyond the bounds of 336 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: a nation or a private entity.

Well, let's talk about that. There 370 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: are a bunch of things here and most of them 371 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: start with G. The first one is the Greater Good, right, 372 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: That's what this whole thing is. We've talked about it 373 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: a lot in the past and this show. But there's 374 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: another one. There's another really big G and something else. 375 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: You know what has it been? It is globalism? It 376 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: is This is sort of the We're Family Show, but 377 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: for four days, Davos becomes the g spot for globalism. 378 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: Uh them sorry delay that O. The W the w 379 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 1: e F doesn't see itself as a world government your 380 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: earlier pointneal, they say, we're not, you know, the un 381 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: We're just people are the like mind getting together to 382 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: having on ist, well intentioned debate. But some critics argue 383 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: that this organization, and this gathering in particular, gets uncomfortably 384 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: close to doing the things a world government would do. 385 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: Isn't this the kind of stuff that would be read 386 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: mate for like an Alex Jones type conspiracy theorist. There's 387 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: always talking about the global elite and the globalists and 388 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: wanting to turn us into a bunch of drones mindlessly 389 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: being you know, controlled by some sort of puppet government. 390 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: Very much so, very much so it's difficult to over 391 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: emphasize that fact. So I'll just say yes capital yes 392 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: under it. Pops some highlighter over that, because you are 393 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: on the money, my friends. Uh, most years that this 394 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: so these media, this is the big one, but other 395 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: smaller meetings occur in different regions throughout the world, and 396 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: they're more focused on what I guess they would consider 397 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: more localized issues. Um. But regardless of where these occur, 398 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: whether it's regional or the big one in Switzerland, most 399 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: years there are going to be protesters anti globalization protesters 400 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: on the scene. Also shout out to Bono from You Too, 401 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: who says he described Davos once as the fat cats 402 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: in the snow. I don't know, does anybody have a 403 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: good Bono voice. It's hard because he's you know, he's 404 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: he's got a classic Irish lilt, but with a little 405 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: extra something that I can't quite put my finger on, 406 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: and I'm not going to attempt it. Alright, alright, well 407 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: send us, send us your best bonno impressions. Uh. The 408 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: anti globalist perspective encompasses a lot of stuff. You know. 409 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: It's not just the Alex Jones. Um, It's not just 410 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: what people might consider domestic right wing politics. It's also 411 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: people who are you might consider them far left. And 412 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: these folks, while they clearly don't agree on a bunch 413 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: of other things, they argue that the w e F 414 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: and other similar institutions like the ones Matt you mentioned earlier, 415 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: w t O, maybe I m F G seven, things 416 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: like that. They say, what these folks are actually doing 417 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: is leveraging capitalism and globalization to do the exact things 418 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: that they claim to prevent, to accelerate poverty, to degrade 419 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: the environment, all the while making a nifty profit. That's 420 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: that's again, that's not our show saying this. That's what 421 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: the multitudes of critics and protesters in this vein are saying. Um. 422 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: And then there's also the controversy like, Okay, you're helping 423 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: the world, but what is the world to you? Because 424 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: the world is something different, guarantee you to every individual 425 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: you will ever meet, and in the case of Davos, 426 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: you know where it costs. I think twenty eight thousand 427 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: dollars are equivalent to go. There's this idea that these 428 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: folks may be disconnected, that the world they believe they're 429 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: saving may not be the world that the average non 430 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: Davos person um wants to be saved, or it's not 431 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 1: the world that they experience, and that's what leads us 432 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 1: to this thing called the Davos Man. Sounds like a caveman, right, Yeah, 433 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: well that's the thing man. The Davos Man is almost 434 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: like it reminds me of Double oh seven or or 435 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: a spy or somebody. You've got no allegiances. I don't 436 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: need to worry about this continent that I'm currently on, 437 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: or the borders around this state where my house is, 438 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: my allegiances to humanity, I don't. I don't need any 439 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: of that stuff. And a lot of it has to 440 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: do with that level of wealth that you can reach 441 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: where you can drop twenty eight thousan dollars and it's 442 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: not like the best out there bonus you could ever imagine. 443 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: Receiving or a lottery ticket when it's just some extra 444 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: money that you have, right, right, It's like the Davos 445 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: person is transnational. They're saying things like you ask where 446 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: they live, they would say tradition ma famiity originates in Greece. 447 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: We were in shipping and transported. I feel a kinship 448 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: with the Greek. I am there of a time every winter, 449 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: so yes, wintering in Greece, summering in in perhaps Abitha. 450 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: But typically these are also the type people that would 451 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: consider themselves citizens of the world. Well, and and that's 452 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: that's a great idealic thing, right it is in a 453 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: lot of ways. Being a citizen of the world, I 454 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: think is a positive. And I think that's one of 455 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: the reasons it's used a lot of times in the 456 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: pr for these kinds of organizations, because if we could 457 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: see everybody on the planet, you know, as a sibling essentially, 458 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: and all of those that I'm sorry, I know you 459 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: guys get on me for kumbayaing a lot of the time, 460 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: but this is there. But it's a beauty. Never accused 461 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: you of kumbayeing man, Okay, all right, well, maybe guests 462 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: have a lot but but it's it's just it is 463 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: a beautiful thing, and I don't want to. I don't 464 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: want anyone out there listening to this thinking that that 465 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: isn't a cool thing. It's just it's a rose colored 466 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: glasses kind of situation. In most cases, it's also being 467 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: said typically from a place of extreme privilege, and it's 468 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: not something that is attainable to mob. We would all 469 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: love to be citizens of the world, but unfortunately requires 470 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: a lot of resources and capital and the ability to 471 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: not be tied down to a family or a location 472 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: or whatever whatever it might be. You know, normal people things. Yeah, 473 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: well said, you know what I mean, you talk to 474 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: the average Like, if you average out the world, you 475 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: talk to the average person. UM, describing themselves as a 476 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: citizen of the world is going to be far down 477 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: on the list of things that they say. I do 478 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: want to I do want to clarify. UM, if you 479 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: are an intendee, like if you were there to speak 480 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: at Davos, just to speak Prime Minister, etcetera, etcetera, then 481 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: the conference itself is going to be free for you. 482 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: But if you're there to represent a company, you know, 483 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: you're like I'm the King of Facebook or whatever title 484 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: they go with, then you pay the equivalent of eight 485 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: grand at least she did. And you're absolutely right, No, Matt, 486 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: I agree with you being a citizen of the world 487 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: and not being limited by ideology, creed or any other 488 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: demographic slice. That is, ultimately that should be the goal 489 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: of the species of the problem is there the human 490 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: brain is bedeviled by some hard physiological limits Dumbar's number, 491 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, not conclusively proven, but pretty compelling, 492 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: uh In in the argument that there is a limit 493 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: to how many people one person can also think of 494 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: as you know people instead of just like you are 495 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: the function, you are the reason the garbage moves on Tuesday. 496 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: How dare you have a family? It's amazing. But but there's, uh, 497 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: there's another thing to take into account here, and it's 498 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: something that you've noted here been this, you know, we're 499 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: talking about it in this ideological way. But there's there's 500 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: a very real mechanical reason for people to at least 501 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: want to view borders of nations and countries and continents 502 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: as a thing of the past, because they oftentimes are 503 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: able to operate on a level that supersedes, that goes 504 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: beyond those borders. Where where you've got a company or 505 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: global economic like it's a global economic forum, um where 506 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: you're you know, when you're thinking about shipping, you're thinking 507 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: about these big movements that are way bigger than any country. Okay, 508 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: hold up for a second. Let's take a quick pause 509 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: here for a world from our sponsor, and then back 510 00:32:51,560 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: with more on Davos. And we've yes, yeah, everything we've 511 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: said is correct, and we are trying to be very 512 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: fair because these are tremendous, profound, possibly world changing ideas. 513 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: But there's a guy we'd like to introduce you to. 514 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: He's a political scientist named Samuel P. Huntington's he coined 515 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: the phrase the Davos man. Uh. He describes this type 516 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: of person, in his opinion, as people who have quote 517 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: little need for national loyalty, view national boundaries as obstacles 518 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: that thankfully or vanishing, and see national governments as residue 519 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate 520 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: the elites global operations. The implication being that Davos to 521 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: some people serves not the world but their own ideological 522 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: or financial goals. And we've talked about this in the 523 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: past and the show like the Rough the rough sketch 524 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: of the evolution of the human species, right is, it 525 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: goes family, and then it goes religion, and then it 526 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: goes state, and then it goes corporation. And we're at 527 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: we're at the point right now where it is increasingly 528 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: less crazy to ask if we're going to enter into 529 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: a post nation state civilization, you know, and if so, 530 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: when when does that happen? And and the truth is 531 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 1: there are a lot of um, well, there is a 532 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: segment of the human population that has no problem with that, 533 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: that believes that nationalism or the existence of the nation 534 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: state has become increasingly anachronistic or increasingly unhelpful to the 535 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: overall goal, which is the spread of humanity ultimately to 536 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: the stars. But then there's another thing, and we got 537 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: close to it earlier in today's episode. Is this democratic? 538 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,760 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah? Not not not so much. 539 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it depends on how much stock you put 540 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: into how far reaching that types of conversations that happen 541 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: at things like this actually are. And I think we 542 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 1: can all, uh, pretty much conjecture that it's quite far reaching, 543 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 1: because I mean, the folks that are there that are 544 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: in on the conversation, have their fingers literally on maybe 545 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 1: not an actual button or lever, but you know they 546 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: have the means to make changes or to maybe not collude. 547 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: But there's a certain amount of that, you know, at 548 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: these closed door kind of sessions, these these these types 549 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 1: of things, you know, much like a bohemian grove or 550 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: what have you. Um. But yeah, I mean, it is 551 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: a It is a criticism, and I think a damning 552 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: criticism that Davos enables a very undemocratic form of decision 553 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: making because we I mean literally we the three of us, 554 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: we uh, most of the people listening to the show, 555 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: I think maybe don't have input in these conversations in 556 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: how political leaders are influenced or or the decisions that 557 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: they make, um, when they are entering into these these 558 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 1: conversations and a thing like this, these are informal. These 559 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: are like country club conversations there that you know, you 560 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: pay the price of entry, uh, in order to be 561 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: in the same room as these huge decision makers, these 562 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,720 Speaker 1: these huge influencers. All of it stuff happens informally after 563 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: hours and of course it's it's a closed door event. 564 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: It is invite only. It's a club made by the 565 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: highest of the high of of elite society, and odds 566 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: are it's a club that that the likes of us 567 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: uh and and many of our listeners are not invited to. Yeah. This, 568 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: this kind of exclusivity is appealing to the people who 569 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: are on the inside, but it's um it's strange to 570 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 1: the majority of the people who are not in this 571 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: inner circle. This brings us to the newest project, the 572 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 1: newest Davos initiative, the purpose of our two part episode 573 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: this week. It's something called the Great Reset. This was 574 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: the name, the official name of the fiftieth Davos meeting 575 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: that was held in June of Well was it it? Could? 576 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: You know? You could dig into all of the research, 577 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,280 Speaker 1: you could look at you can look at the speeches, 578 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: of the conversations, the debates that were held, and if 579 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: you get to the very bottom, the simple idea of 580 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,280 Speaker 1: the Great Reset, it is best described, just my opinion, 581 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: as a laundry list of we need to fix and fast. 582 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 1: That's that is what it is. Doubtlessly some of the 583 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: more aristocratic attendees would be scandalized by that crass language, 584 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: but take it as you will. That's that's the reality 585 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: of the situation. Um, maybe you know what to be 586 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: fair to them, let's not just have our editorializing of it. 587 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: Maybe we can give a quote direct from their website 588 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: about what the Great Reset, if not what it is, 589 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: what it wants to do. Yes, here are the official 590 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: aims of the Great Reset to offer insights to help 591 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: inform all those determining the future state of global relations, 592 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: the direction of national economics, the priorities of societies, wow 593 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: priorities of societies, the nature of business models, and the 594 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 1: management of a global commons. To transform capitalism into something 595 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 1: new capitalism two point Oh, that that's me. I think 596 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,439 Speaker 1: that's me through Ben's words. I mean, that's that's the idea. Right, 597 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: that's like, let's rethink capitalism. In his book, Professor Schwab 598 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: argues and argues for the I don't want to necessarily 599 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 1: call it a buzzword, but the phrase they used to 600 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: describe this is something called stakeholder capitalism. Stakeholder would be 601 00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: defined in theory as anybody, any individual entity or organization 602 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,760 Speaker 1: that will be affected by decisions made, by problems solved, 603 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: or by problems accelerated. And so they're saying, they're saying, 604 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: what we're doing is we are. We are telling businesses, 605 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: specifically that you have more responsibilities than merely giving your 606 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: shareholders a good profit report at the end of every quarter. 607 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: You have other stuff you need to do, which is 608 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 1: something a lot of people can agree with. Uh Davos, 609 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,320 Speaker 1: through the Great Reset initiative, wants to build a quote 610 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: new social contract that honors the dignity of every human being. 611 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: And on the face of that, that sounds amazing because 612 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 1: there are very few examples in the human species of 613 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: a society or a group dynamic that ever managed to 614 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: honor the dignity of every member of the group or 615 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: a ja you know, stakeholder. Fine, I'll take it. I'll 616 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: start saying stakeholder too. Now it's it's over. We've gun 617 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,280 Speaker 1: full corporate. But but that's the that's the official answer. 618 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: That is what the Great Reset is supposed to do. 619 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: And at this point I think we've raised some good concerns, 620 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: some hopefully fairly accurately of the land here. Um, Folks, 621 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: When Matt Noel and I work on these kinds of stories, 622 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: we do run into run into things where we say 623 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: this has to be a multipart show, and it's not 624 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: every decision we make lightly, but we also feel that 625 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,959 Speaker 1: we need to do our best to actually explore all 626 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: of this stuff. So consider this part one or chapter 627 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: one and introduction to Davos an introduction to the Great Reset, 628 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,240 Speaker 1: and tune in for our very next episode, Part two, 629 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: where we are going to assuming illumination gloable and limited. 630 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,839 Speaker 1: Let's just get away with it. We're going to drop 631 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: dive straight into all the crazy, crazy stuff surrounding this idea. Yeah. Absolutely, Well, 632 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: if we're not stuck in Lacrosse, Kansas, which we might 633 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: be for a little bit. Um, I know we have 634 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:23,800 Speaker 1: to go do that speaking thing or whatever, but okay, um, 635 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,439 Speaker 1: I just want to say, when I hear or when 636 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: I first heard this concept of the Great Reset, I 637 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,840 Speaker 1: thought it was a fictional story. I thought it was 638 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,760 Speaker 1: and this is not true. This is not the reality 639 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 1: of what it is necessarily at all. But I imagined 640 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: it as some dastardly plan, the Great Reset. It sounds 641 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: like what you do when you're when your computer malfunctions 642 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: or your network shuts down, and you unplug the thing, 643 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 1: wait for a while, and plug it back in because 644 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: it's not working. Something is gone awry. We just need 645 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 1: to kill it for a while and then restart it. 646 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: And in my mind, I hear them talking about society, essentially, 647 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:06,760 Speaker 1: about civilization, about humanity. That's what I picture, at least 648 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: when I first you know, at least when I first 649 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: encountered this concept of the great reset. Yeah, it's got, 650 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: it's gotten the sinister vibes of the Georgia guidestones in 651 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 1: some ways, you know, like being out a cancer on 652 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 1: the earth and maintain population under five million or whatever. Um. So, yeah, 653 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: I can see how you would go there, Matt. And 654 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: I just I wonder what everybody else immediately thinks when 655 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: they hear what we've discussed thus far. And i'd like to, 656 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 1: you know, if you haven't already researched hanging there for 657 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: the second part of this, but you know, I'd love 658 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 1: to hear what you think before we even get into 659 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: the specifics. I think we all would. I think we'd 660 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: all love to hear what you think.
