Klaus Schwab is a professor who got invited to the secret Bilderberg Conference of center-right senior big shots (e.g., Kissinger), then had a great business idea: Instead of keeping it a secret, tell the media that invitees to his new Davos shindig REALLY DO RUN THE WORLD.
Instead of keeping the proceedings secret like Bilderberg does, Schwab blasted out as much publicity for his new Davos get-together as he could beg, borrow, or steal.
The reason Klaus Schwab dresses like a Bond movie supervillain is not because he is a supervillain, but because it's good for his brand when you think he has supervillain powers.

Bill Russell was better for his team than Wilt Chamberlain was because he was focused on winning. But Russell's Celtics winning 11 titles wasn't good for the NBA's brand.

Wilt was better for the NBA because he bored easily and came up with fun ideas that brought the NBA good PR.
Wilt scores 100. Wilt will fight Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight boxing title. Wilt owns a VW Bug he drives from the back seat. Wilt builds a mansion built for a giant. Wilt becomes the only center to lead in assists. Wilt lifted weights at Muscle Beach. Wilt endorses Nixon. Image
I like this Nixon and Wilt picture more than the Nixon and Elvis picture. Image

Why have homicides and traffic fatalities soared during the still-ongoing "racial reckoning" following George Floyd's death? What Reuters found at the epicenter, Minneapolis, was more or less true across the country. Depolicing means more reckless driving and packing illegal guns
The Sailer Effect is the world's most obvious social science theory: The political success of anti-police activism means less active policing, which means more reckless driving and illegal handguns on the streets, which means more traffic fatalities and murders.
But, now it's 2023, and practically nobody in the media other than me has even mentioned the connection between the success of Black Lives Matter in 2020 and the huge surge in homicides and motor vehicle accidents that ensued.

The world will only have achieved True Diversity when a sidewalk video of an angry black woman assaulting a Middle Eastern woman by the hair could equally be from Amsterdam, Atlanta, or Adelaide.

NYT reports on Eudora, Arkansas, a depopulating small town plagued by so many shootings by teenagers that they mayor declared an 8pm curfew. You and I would guess Eudora is 90% black, but NYT features in its promotional tweet photo a rare white Eudoran:

nytimes.com/2023/01/01/us/…
In its lengthy article about teen shootings in dystopian Eudora, Arkansas, the New York Times never mentions that the small town is 90.3% black. That's Too Much Information for NYT subscribers who'd prefer to imagine Eudora is plagued by AR-15-wielding redneck whites.
If you read NYT's article on the shooty town of Eudora, Arkansas closely to the end, you might eventually figure out Eudora has a Black Illegal Handgun Violence problem. But if you assume instead it's Redneck Legal Rifle Violence, NYT won't do much to smash your stereotype.

@porterthereport Your article on how many Frenchmen objected to a colorization of a statue of the great author Victor Hugo ("Hunchback of Notre Dame") that made Hugo look black like the Senegalese sculptor would have been better served by photos showing what the French were complaining about: Image
@porterthereport Here's what Victor Hugo actually looked like at age 23 in 1825. He didn't have "light-brown skin" (like, say, his fellow titan of the French bestseller lists, Dumas), he was instead an extremely fair blond man.

nytimes.com/2022/12/31/wor… Image
@porterthereport Tell the truth, the New York Times got the blond Victor Hugo ("Les Miserables") a little bit confused with his friend and rival, the mulatto Alexandre Dumas ("Count of Monte Cristo"), right? Image

They are talking about getting rid of the Best Actress Oscar, which would be really stupid, because A) People watch the Oscars to see actors, not sound editors. More is better. Thus they should add a Best Cameo Oscar for small roles like Judd Hirsch and David Lynch in "Fabelmans"
B) Actors are bigger stars than actresses. This year's Academy Award debates will be over whether Cate Blanchett deserves her third Oscar for a film that made $5 million domestically ("Tar") and whether Tom Cruise deserves his first Oscar for a film that made $700 million.
Having a separate Best Actress Oscar helps actresses avoid being overshadowed by the star power of the famous leading men (Cruise, for instance, has been a massive name for 39 years), and it shines a light on smaller budget movies such as "Tar."
