Tara, I'm interested in academic views...but not to the exclusion of the real world concerns. Professional learners too often live in a world devoid of common, day-to-day issues--exposure to unemployment, inadequate income, inaccessibility to thoughtful dialogue.
I'd welcome your attention to some less-ethereal thinking. For example:

I'd welcome your attention to some less-ethereal thinking. For example:
The invocation of the Emergency Act highlighted the ability of the federal government to, retroactively and unilaterally, declare a donation as an "emergency" worthy of frozen bank accounts. This may have imposed a significant (?) chill on Canadian philanthropy. It certainly has on me.
I welcome your thinking on more tactical issues also.
Tom, it's precisely when the authoritarians try to scare you that we must not only double down but go full tilt. The main lesson from the book, "Gulag Archipelago" seems to have been that when the state thugs came one by one to take away dissidents in the night, the proper response from those not getting taken away was to en masse fully resist the tyrants when they started their tyranny.
Dare the tyrant to freeze your assets for funding a political cause. This is the time, it won't be later. They only back down when they are forced to. While we have exposure of the problem, there is power in shining the light on the problem. If we cower, they move several steps forward.
I feel the same way. I could barely get through the article, and not just because I was blurry-eyed from just waking up. It sounds like the same intellectual analysis of issues in countless articles that somehow manage to miss the core of what is going on in real people’s lives. Yes, populism needs to be taken seriously, but so do the societal issues that drive it. They focused on income inequality, which has been a serious issue getting worse for decades. No ideas put forward in this article are going to change that when elite groups (such as the WEF) are given the power to control people’s lives. That’s what needs to be addressed, the way people’s lives are being manipulated and controlled by the existing power systems in society, including the medical establishment. The issues of crucial importance today go much deeper than what has been addressed in this rather mundane article.
Thanks for sending this, Jewel. Very informative, while also entertaining. But chilling too! That guy Yaral Noah Harani (sp?) is a real piece of work! The way he talks about “hacking” human beings, since we have no soul, free will, etc. is horrifying. And he’s a member (advisor?) of the World Economic Forum? Unbelievable!
Yes, it’s totally creepy the way he talks about “engineering” human beings in a way that is completely devoid of any sense of human sensibility and spiritual connection. That appears to be what he is advocating.
Okay, I’m researching this man - Yuval Noah Harani - before I jump to conclusions about his motivations and intentions. I read a little about him and he does not seem devoid of concern for humanity (and animals!) Maybe he was speaking these words as a warning or something. I don’t know. Will investigate him further.
Nothing frightening there that I can see. Seems like a highly intelligent, thoughtful, and sensitive person. He came across as anti-totalitarian and stated clearly that he was against one world government.
Thanks Jewel, I’m not disputing anything you say here. I simply need to come to my own conclusions based on what I see, hear, and read. I know very little about this man, and, in fact, my understanding of the WEF is quite limited. I can assure you that I am seeking a greater understanding of both. 🙏

Jewel, I watched this interview with him and it gave me a pretty good idea of who he is.
