Earlier this month, leaders from all over the world descended on Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum. Before the first speech was given, the perennial debate about its importance began.
Noah Rothman has noticed that people who tend to be paranoid believe this “international gathering of elites is a threat.” But he is convinced that “these masters of the universe make profound embarrassments of themselves.” He illustrates his lack of concern about these meetings by reminding us that “green-energy advocates have been pressuring the developing world to eschew fossil fuels for decades, only to be scrupulously ignored.”
On the other hand, Glenn Beck, in his book Dark Future, recognizes that “in the coming years, advancements in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, blockchain technologies, bioengineering, automation, the metaverse, and countless other areas will change the human race in unprecedented ways.”
Discussions about these important issues take place at the World Economic Forum and are too often absent in the legislatures of modern nations. The leaders who gather in Davos are talking about such concepts as the Great Reset and an emerging Fourth Industrial Revolution. We shouldn’t ignore their discussions
Dr. Kevin Roberts is the President of the Heritage Foundation and wrote about “Why I Am Going to Davos.” He told them that “trust must be earned” and that the “global elites have not merely failed on that score. They have squandered the vast reserves of credibility they inherited from their institutional predecessors.”
The current debate about the significance of Davos reminds us that we shouldn’t ignore these global elites and we shouldn’t assume they are unstoppable. It’s time for all of us to speak out against their global demands.
