@WEF: #TheGreatReset
@EAT: #TheGreatFoodTransformation
@TellusInstitute: #TheGreatTransition
@WBGU_Council: #TheGreatTransformation

The hyperbole, numerism, eschatology, utopian promise,... make it sound like a true cult. Rhetorically similar to New Age's #TheGreatConjunction?

And strikingly similar to the late 19th-C Zeitgeist, with the Millerites talking about #TheSecondGreatAwakening.

Which was ultimately followed by #TheGreatDisappointment 😁

As if @ProfKlausSchwab is talking here: "Earth..finishes a transformation..that allows a New Earth to be birthed..#TheGreatConjunction represents a changing of an era..As our world view changes, so too does society & the way we choose to approach things"

More @WEF-style storytelling: "Under this grand Conjunction, we could see a shift into more community-based living...There could be a greater focus on this idea that we all thrive when the collective thrives, rather than a focus on individuals trying to compete with one another"

And this, SO #TheGreatReset-like: "Humanitarian efforts will be important & technology will be favored. We will see more things created online than in the physical world. On an even deeper level, #TheGreatConjunction of 2020 could allow us to see that we are truly all connected"

If one drops the 🦄🌈 esoteric bits, there really isn't all that much of a difference between the worldview & rhetoric of New Age cults & policy people talking about #GreatTransformations. Both are belief systems, except that for the Davos crowd, it also opens business options.

May not be a coincidence with a history going back to people like Maurice Strong, founder of UNEP & WBSCD, who also used to be very influential within WEF, WBCSD, SEI/Tellus, WRI & many institutions that led to what is today's #TheGreatFoodTransformation/#TheGreatReset platform.

As other UN protagonists of the time (e.g., Muller, Keys ...), Strong & his wife Hanne were both hard-core into New Age, I'm not exaggerating: have a look at their 🌈🦄 Manitou Foundation: manitou.org/foundation/his…

Even if the Blavatsky/de Chardin/Gaia/Bailey yada yada is no longer explicitly present, those circles have never outgrown the Transition mindset. In essence, they start from a belief system, used to squeeze in science, mobilized to combine Utopia with $. Just as Strong did.
