You will owe nothing and be happy

[mapuc]

I think most if not all of us have heard or read this sentence.

This is the only phrase people, who believe WEF will take over the world, is posting.

The text is more than these 7 words.

Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city - or should I say, "our city". I don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any appliances or any clothes.

She rewrote it

Author's note: Some people have read this blog as my utopia or dream of the future. It is not. It is a scenario showing where we could be heading - for better and for worse. I wrote this piece to start a discussion about some of the pros and cons of the current technological development.

My view on this matter:

How the world would be like in 2030 I can't say. Most of us will be leasing stuff, like cars or electronics and perhaps washing machine etc.

There will still be ordinary people who own their stuff.

The biggest question would be-Would it make us happier not to own our things ?

My view, i dont think we will be living in the world ecenomic forums socialist/Stakeholder Capitialist carbon neutral utopia/dystopia by 2030,
I think they are making a good play for it, but there are far to many variables and complexities which will throw many a spanner in the works along the way, either delaying or causing them to fail out right.
I think there is probably quite a lot they havent factored in, or are simply unable to predict, the trouble with idealouges like them is they usually have tunnel vision, and often choose comfortable denial over uncomfortable reality, which leads to their downfall.

Ida Auken-The author of this famous text where the sentence You will owe nothing and be happy. Should have known that people need more, a lot more than 14 years to adapt a total new lifestyle

If she had written 2050 or 2060 then I would say she could be right-Most of us owe nothing, we will be leasing it. I think we are heading in this direction. Today many are leasing their cars and many are leasing their tv/computer etc.

WEF or other organization will not take over the world, only in the head of conspirators will this happen.

It is self-mortification and the desire for self-denial that drives this latest variety of contemporary left-wing extremist collective neurosis. In other words: self-hatred and the desire for self-annihilation. Coupled with the expectation that if you dont demand anything then you do not need to work for anything and can live easy, and what you need or even just wish will come to you for free.

In other words: you want a free ride and you think you have a right to demand it.

In your dreams only, baby. While the rest of the world turns wolf and eats you alive.

Oh I dont think they hate them selves at all (the Davos bunch that is) I think if anything they have a god complex and see them selves as hummantiarian saviours, and its that 'for the great of good' narrative which they have used to convince themselves that what they are trying to do is not just plain evil.
They would like US peasents to be demoralised and hate ourselves perhaps so we will gracefully accept the downgrade to our standard of living, which will surely not apply to themselves - convieniently the beneficeries of the new system as well as the architects.
The WEFs utopia is very much a 2 teir system 'Socialism for thee and stake holder captialism for me'.
