The WEF is a bizarre outfit and its projects have rightly drawn attention to the weird world of Davos. But some reaction to its rise has created an unhelpful sense of fait accompli. Resist properly...
Terrific work Ben and a devastating analysis that raises some fantastic questions. Forensic analysis is required on the unofficial organisations heavily influencing and controlling our lives. There is no end to the misery these people can inflict on us. I do believe some think they are trying to help but those who are most influential are surely in this for power and control. Historic (visible) aristoracracies have been replaced by modern day oligarchs hiding in the shadows. I'm afraid I have very little confidence that anything will change - in Sept last year I was hopeful that physics would win over 'green feelings' because any rational debate has been completely villified or cancelled all together. But the Ukraine war is being used as a very convenient excuse. I happen to believe that most MPs know that this is bunkum but like you say they dare not admit it and instead prefer the path of (immediate) least resistance. If they do actually believe it, well, we're doomed. Sri Lanka is a good example of the road we are heading down and it looks bloody awful (to me).

Keep up the great work, we need people like you.
Fascinating. Thanks for laying this all out.
