Wow, just watched a video from the 'World Economic Forum' , a respectable organization by the way, not the usual conspiracy lunatic theorist. It says that by 2030 meat is gonna be a treat not widely available like today, that the US is not gonna be a global superpower anymore, instead a handful of countries will dominate and that people is not gonna own nothing but will be happy.
Well, that would help the Borg to keep the craziness going on.
Thoughts? What's this great reset?
Link?
What do I think?
I think the changes of the past 20 years are absolutely mind blowing when you really think about it. The internet has changed so many aspects of our lives.
The next 20 years, should humanity survive them (we have the ever-present ability/possibility of blowing ourselves to smithereens) will probably see even more dramatic change.
Will we feel the effects of ruining our planet and diminish our quality of life?
Or will humanity solve the problems of scarcity, energy, environment, diseases, and even ageing itself?
Who knows? Anything seems possible.
Will humanity get any closer to discovering why we are here and if there is any intention behind it all? I wouldn’t rule it out.
It’s a strange and mysterious world and seems to get stranger by the year.
Doom and gloom bullshit, feeds well into doomsday religious cults .....like ???
I do see the US lowering its predominant power and control in the world of politics, China and Russia have caught up to the US on many levels.
One thing that is a probability is the the earth is going to continue to heat up causing humanity to make strategic changes and adapt..
Not an end of the world scenario but a forced action in adaptability.
Well,
After my six+ decades on this planet I have seen convenience increase massively. I have seen information explode. I have seen the population of my country nearly triple. I have seen food choice beyond my wildest dreams. I have seen international travel become so cheap and easy. Material goods beyond our wildest dreams in the 60's...
But
I have also seen the loss of the individual. I have seen the loss of privacy, even private thoughts. I see the roads crowded 24/7, tourist places choked and polluted. Loss of national identity as our country is awash with new permanent residents who seem determined not to integrate but keep their individual "community".. Simply too many humans generally... This of course leads to massive pressure on the natural environment.
But the greatest change I've seen is general mental health especially amongst young people. The volume of people medicated or medicating via soft and hard drugs/alcohol is staggering (in my observation). Suicide the silent killer on the rise. Self harming another hidden epidemic. It appears that people cannot adapt fast enough to the rapid changes in the material world but I cannot see the surge in tech slowing any time soon.
The meat and dairy industries are the number one polluters/contributors to greenhouse gases. Medical science is showing the outright damage that consuming meat does to the human body. It doesn't surprise me in the least that there is a push to a meatless human society or at least a movement toward lab grown meat.
The minimalist movement is also picking up momentum. A consumer based society is not sustainable and only adds to problems. Try the 90 day challenge. If you don't use something for 90 consecutive days get rid of it.
The bible mentions in the book of Daniel about the image feet been made of clay and iron. This symbolised how they would mix but wouldn’t. So the above scenario is totally possible. How the jw will spin it, as they have said it symbolised the Anglo American world power, is anyone’s guess.

There are reasons this sort of stuff doesn't work. I honestly don't know why the lesson is never learned... or at least it has to be re-taught every few generations, with the price of starvation, poverty, and death.
Yeah, it’s capitalism “reimagined” ... to serfdom.
Imagine thinking the World Economic Forum is respectable.
