In the previous post I mentioned that The Great Reset is NOT a conspiracy theory; it is right out in the open. The World Economic Forum (WEF), headed by Klaus Schwab, has been working to undermine capitalism and the United States for 50 years. They have recently outlined their goals for the year 2030 in a short video.
Here are their 8 primary goals for 2030:
- Destroy private ownership so you will own nothing and be happy while the puppet masters are given all wealth and power
- End America as a superpower and the dominant economy. The world will be “equitably” ruled by an international consortium appointed by the benevolent WEF
- 3D printing of human organs (this has nothing to do with the WEF)
- No more meat... you'll eat bugs instead. (more on this in a future post) neoterra.us/blog/self-inflicted-scarcity-no-more-meat
- Facilitate and even glamorize mass migrations of unskilled, uneducated “refuges” to overwhelm Western culture and Industrial societies. Because of the Climate Change boogeyman
- Make energy far more expensive (restricting supply, introducing a carbon tax) to reduce your standard of living. And they will use Climate Change Hysteria to frighten you into acceptance
- Exploration of Mars (this has nothing to do with the WEF)
- Western values pushed to the breaking point.
This is not some right-wing conspiracy theory.
I don't know if the COVID pandemic was engineered, but here is a quote from Herr Schwab celebrating the pandemic. Please note this is directly from the World Economic Forum website. "The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world"
Many other anti-American globalists agree. Prince Charles and Antonia Guterres (head of the UN) refer to the pandemic as a "Golden Opportunity".
In this post, let's consider Goal #1. I will discuss most of the other goals in future posts.
A cornerstone of the Great Reset is that (by 2030) you will own nothing and you will be happy. The first step on this journey to poverty is Dematerialization.
Dematerialization
A precursor to ‘owning nothing’ is the growing push toward Dematerialization (there are now several scholarly books on the subject and it is the foundation of the movement for Universal Basic Income - UBI). As an aside, this concept was previously known as minimalist… but dematerialization sounds cool and is more extreme.
Dematerialization, does not state that private property should be eliminated. It states that you can be happy with a lot less. For example:
- You don’t need an SLR camera because you should be happy with your cell-cam.
- You don’t need a big-screen TV because you should be happy watching movies on your phone.
- You don’t need a car because you have Uber
- You don’t need a kitchen because cooking is a chore
This is a seductive argument because most of us have way more stuff than we really need. But it is a slippery slope with nefarious intent.
The Nomad Life
There is no doubt that a minimalist lifestyle can be rich and enjoyable. There are many people who have embraced the Nomad Life (tradeMark) and are traveling and living in motor homes or travel trailers.
They are enjoying life in a minimal amount of space. A retired couple (i.e. no rug rats) can be very comfortable in a well designed coach that is no more than 300-350 square feet. And that includes a small, but functional kitchen.
300 square feet leaves no room for any superfluous crap. No giant cactus-shaped margarita glasses, no silly nick-nacks, no collection of hard-cover books. Everything must be boiled down to what is really necessary. It takes discipline.
Note: Minimalism is completely separate from any discussion of self-sufficiency, which is quite the opposite… it takes a lot of stuff to be self-sufficient.
One other observation on Nomad Life: It is enjoyable because of mobility and because most time is spent outdoors. It is an adventure. Weather and climate are critical… spending winter in Minnesota in 300 square feet would not end well.
In short, my theory is that compatible adults can enjoy life with minimal property when they have maximal freedom. But keep in mind, the Nomad Life is voluntary… it is a choice; not a mandate from the World Economic Forum.
Own Nothing and Be Happy
The Great Reset wants to convince you (or coerce you) to take the next step beyond dematerialization. They want you to believe you will be better off and happier if you own absolutely nothing. No house, no car, no furniture, no pots n’ pans, not even an apartment or your clothes (and definitely no motor home).
Everything will be provided to you by the government or by expert digital subscription services (like Amazon) when you need it. Consequently, private ownership can be abolished for the good of society and you will be happy.
You don’t need a wasteful private home because you will have a Residential Subscription Service. This concept is a cross between a studio compartment complex and a hotel. Since you don’t own anything you can crash in a different ‘unit’ every night. Tonight in Naperville, tomorrow a different unit in Naperville because you were out late, a couple of nights in St. Charles and the weekend in Madison for the beer festival. And don’t worry about packing because you don’t own any clothes.
You clearly don’t need any furniture (or mementos or personal shit) because you don’t have a permanent residence to keep it. You will be very happy with whatever furnishings your compartment has provided for you.
You don’t own any clothes because your Trendy Fashion Expert Service has fresh clothes selected for you and delivered to your compartment du jour every morning before you wake up. You toss yesterday’s clothes into the recycling chute and a Servant Class beta will collect them, and some Working Class epsilon will launder and re-package. Someone else will get those cloths tomorrow. Keep in mind that the underwear you have today was on someone else’s ass yesterday…. But you will be happy.
You don’t need a washer or dryer (or a laundry room) because you don’t own any clothes.
You don’t need a car because you use public transportation.
I could go on and on. There are entire books written on how wonderful it will be in the world of Universal Basic Income and Subscription possessions. I refer to these authors as the Cornucopians. (tradeMark)
But Only the Elites Will be Happy
But their narrative is dishonest because it is always told from the perspective of the privileged Creative Expert class. It is never told from the perspective of the Worker Class. When you view the glowing narrative you imagine your life living in luxury with fresh new stuff every day… but that won’t be true for 95%
When you listen to the TED talk linked below you can only imagine life as a highly compensated Creative living an exciting, important life, traveling to conferences and vacationing in the Alps. What about all the regular people trapped in mundane jobs so she can be a carefree TED Talker??
If you start out in the deplorable Worker class (at the bottom of the social stack) then you aren’t flying to Brussels, weekending in Barcelona and returning to San Fran for a book (Kindle) signing. Nope, you are a Brave New World janitor and take public transportation to the same job in the same place every single day (But you will be happy).
Since you own nothing you have almost zero ability to take any individual initiative. You have almost zero ability to invest in your own ideas (investment is evil). There are a few pursuits that don’t require tools or equipment or financial investment: you could write poetry or make digital art (like Hunter Biden). Perhaps you could become a musician (but you’ll have to lease your drum set from the government).
In addition to the disingenuous narrative there are three fatal flaws in their theory.
- Although the Great Reset pretends to do away with private ownership that only applies to you. Jeff Bezos will own the Amazon Clothing Subscription service, Bill Gates will own the farms and machinery, BlackRock will own the Residential Subscription Service.. etc. Billionaires and Bureaucrats will own and control everything… and you will be happy.
- Though you might not own anything, you are still consuming things. 100 miles on an Uber is the same energy and the same wear-and-tear as 100 miles on a private car. The only thing that’s actually being saved is a parking space. You may not own any furniture but you are still consuming it (have you ever seen the condition of furniture or carpeting in a hotel room that’s more than 5 years old?). In other words, there is no increase in prosperity.. there is only redistribution.
- Many people on Terra (aside from elite urban progressives) actually need to own things and actually need to have private space for those things. Carpenters, plumbers, electricians and other trades actually need tools and supplies and vehicles to transport them. Farmers need land, machinery and seed (unless the socialist progressives round them up and put them in happy communes).
