    • A leftist US youtuber I follow just put out a criticism of right-wing criticisms of the World Economic Forum, and of the WEF itself.
      Only 16 mins long (or 8 if you watch at 2x speed like I always do). Worth watching to understand what leftists think.

        Why should anyone listen to Packman when they can listen to Klaus Schwab? The whole "you will own nothing and be happy" came from the WED itself.

          It's Kyle Kulinski not David Pakman.
          The "you will own nothing and be happy" was prediction about the future on the WEF's social media, not a goal stated by Klaus Schwab.
          Why listen to Kyle over Klaus? In general I would like it if no one ever listened to Klaus Schwab even for a second, it would be nice if he and his WEF band shut up shop and were never heard from again. Most people could benefit from listening to Kyle Kulinski in general however.

            The WEF even reprinted a psychology where you will own nothing and will not be happy. It's best to get information from the horse's mouth.

                    Your link helps understand what you were referring to. Without it I wouldn't have been able to follow your disconnected train of thought even with the word 'article' in your sentence.

                    The link is to a somewhat interesting blog post about research into human happiness and what makes for a fulfilling life. That was a topic I used to follow the scientific research on a bit, but haven't in recent years. People in the field don't seem to have yet reached agreement about what set of characteristics makes for a happy / fulfilled / enjoyable / great life, or agreed on how many such characteristics there are. This, of course, makes it slightly difficult for people who want to maximize human wellbeing, if we can't necessarily agree on what wellbeing is or how to measure it or comprehensively enumerate the facets of it. Economists have occasionally tried to show their model economic systems maximized wellbeing for very narrowly defined versions of wellbeing (and some very strange versions of 'rational' humans). But an understanding of the diversity of human experience should lead us to be wary of such narrow definitions of wellbeing, and it should concern us that economic systems focused on maximizing only one aspect of it might be sacrificing other aspects they aren't focused on. So I find it slightly nice and somewhat reassuring that the blogger at WEF who wrote that article understood there are a diversity of ideas about what makes for human wellbeing. Although I certainly don't expect that one blog post to be having any impact on anything happening or being discussed at WEF, it's nice that at least one person in the organization, understood that humans aren't robots and that there's some diversity involved in human wellbeing.

                    You seem to have misread the article as some sort of goal statement by WEF to make people not be happy, which possibly tops any previous misreadings I've seen from you.

                      "You will own nothing, and be happy" is not a prediction, it's an order.

                        An order from Jesus? It is a bit reminiscent of the sermon on the mount and also his instructions to the rich young man.

                          Ah yes, the rich young man who hyperbolically kept all of the commandments but was internally devoted to Mammon and not God.


                          But no, it's about material wealth only.

                            You took the words right out of my mouth -- figuratively speaking.

                            Why listen to an apologist spin when you can go straight to the horse's mouth?

                              Jesus advocated for the voluntary relinquishing of wealth and worldly concerns. The WEF is planning to enact a similar doctrine by force.

                              So not the same thing at all.
