Do not get too alarmed about WEF sessions. These gatherings are essentially a whores’ convention camouflaged by a lot of public pontifications and projections that always end up being wrong.

By whores, I refer of course to both to the rich and powerful attendees and to the hookers who flock to Davos to service them. None of them deserve respect, except for the hookers, perhaps, as mostly honest tradespeople in a dishonorable line of work. Otherwise, just how are rich and powerful people who take Al Gore and Greta Thunberg seriously to be taken seriously?

As for the unsettling predictions about the future that offer daytime distractions at Davos from the abundance of high grade hookers, I have lived long enough to see numerous predictions of doom evaporate. When I was young, the world seemed destined to go Communist or suffer a catastrophic nuclear war. Then we were said to be doomed by over-population and resource exhaustion. Then it was a devastating energy shortfall that we were warned was coming. Yet we escaped those perils and more -- and always seem to. So it will be with today's alarms about transhumanism and globalism.

Why? Mankind is always in trouble because of our flaws and the difficulties of life, yet we always escape because of our survival instinct and because we flee from bad things. Humanity endures, as does faith because of our recognition that we are more than simple material creatures. Nowadays, even science recognizes that, with physics proving that consciousness is inextricable from material existence.

With all due respect... But no we have not escaped those perils. They are manifesting to become reality right now. It has been a slow boil but the frog is just about boiled...
