I have an unsettled feeling that a significant international power base is attempting to create a global, fascist government. To clarify, because it has been, historically, an ambiguous word, I am speaking specifically of a partnership of the political elite and a business elite. This is the 'managed' capitalism of the Chinese Communist Party. not dissimilar to what has been happening in the U.S. as Press Secretary Jen Psaki revealed the practice of the White House giving Social Media 'disinformation' accounts that need to be censored. It may not be wrong to call it 'the party of Davos' which does not invite nationalists and populists to their meetings.
This development, if it is in fact taking place, flies in the face of the cultural and political fragmentation that is resulting from the proliferation of diverse perspectives enabled by the Internet. For Polymathicans, who have several idiosyncratic perspectives such as a respect for erudition and a penchant for lifelong learning, this is a potentially disturbing idea.
I don't know how significant this globalist, government/business partnership is. Certainly, the Elon Musk takeover of the Twitter argues against a monolithic globalist conspiracy. However, Davos happens. Some of the people in Forbes' top 100 wealthy people have openly expressed an admiration for the Chinese system. I don't think, in the end, the 'elitists' can win. Will they lay down and die? Of course not. But, in the end, the 'Megatrends' of cultural and technological evolution have always won and I am confident that it will win this time, as well.
To clarify, I am not a populist. As I have stated before, elites progress toward an insensitivity toward the 'hoi polloi', but implements incrementally more workable programs than the demagogic nonsense of populists. If the world is to continue to advance, it needs to find a third solution.
Hi all, I live in Canada. And the article " The Inappropriately Excluded " is really something that deeply resonates with me, and has helped make sense of my life. That I've been going back to it for years as a reference. But today found out there is this meetup group. Excellent stuff!
So I'm wondering what are people's interests here?
I like transition planning, and how we'll get through the end of oil,
archival of important documents, talking to international advisors and politicians about it. Also run several businesses. And do a lot of religious stuff,
cause that's best way of connecting with the uh IQ challenged majority in terms they can understand. So for that I run anabaptist.ca and got like outreach for all sorts of faiths, like humanism, islam, communists, chinese, hindus, christians etc: https://anabaptist.ca/dyet/
Hi! Just joined. I discovered this group through the Inappropriatelt Excluded article and it hit home. Looks very interesting :)
After Dobbs v Jackson, people are saying they want to move to Canada? Why? There is no part of Canada that allows abortion after 23 weeks. And, of course, nowhere in Europe are abortions legal after 24 weeks. So, if one really feels that access abortion is so important, the best thing to do is move to California. It has the most Progressive abortion laws pretty much anywhere, save China, North Korea, and Vietnam. Honestly, if this is your thing, then you should move to California. Whatever state you are in, they will celebrate your departure.
