I’m being targeted by some conspiracy theorists, because I called for a "Great Reset" a month before the World Economic Forum did.
But all this shows is how misplaced the theory is.

I spelt out what I meant in that article: putting more emphasis on ecology and environmental issues in education, re-engaging with the living world, moving towards an economy that stays within planetary boundaries. All deeply sinister, I’m sure.

For the record, I’ve never had any contact with the World Economic Forum. As @NaomiAKlein explains, its own version of the Great Reset is basically a cynical rebranding of capitalism as a force for good. It’s hypocritical and self-serving. But not satanic.

The World Economic Forum is a sycophantic, self-satisfied, deluded organisation that brings together the world’s plutocrats to “solve” our common problems. In reality, they *are* the problem.
However, it wields little power in its own right.

Yes, I know how this looks. But Klaus Schwab, founder of the WEF, is not actually presiding over the ritual sacrifice of the firstborn, but receiving an honorary doctorate at Lithuania's Kaunas University of Technology.

They really need to change that uniform ....

But never mind. In the future, everyone will be the subject of a conspiracy theory for 15 minutes.
