"Being languid and unawares is a state needed to be in for your intution’s awards: you don’t know why but suddenly there’s a manifestation in your torso. As a sinking feeling, or butterflies in your stomach, or queasiness, or bile rising…"

Geni us!

Almost didn't read this post when ' insurance' was mentioned but luckily I read Edward Debono.

Thanks. Very refreshing.

Wow.

So...when do we declare the WEF a terrorist organisation?

WEF's a bit more than that. They'd be thieves of a good name if they called themselves terrorists or were declared as such. Terrorists tend to kill and maim quickly - WEF are leeching life, generational wealth, freedom and spirit from all living and sentient beings on Earth at an excruciatingly slow pace.

If anything it's going to be the terrorists (aka guerilla fighters for humanity) who need to declare themselves as terrorists, then trot off whistling to go gung-ho withsoever they shall!

It's so interesting when people come across this stuff in their 'daily lives' as you have. Keep us updated. Stay frosty!

For fun I guess. It was a lot more intriguing and sci-fi unreal when I first started reading them. Bit ho-hum material these days.

But yeah, this is the latest annual copy of the WEF Global Risk Report. Funny, I didn't get it emailed to me at work this year.

had a closer look at it for the key indicators of the next global existential crises to be pushed short-term. No surprises.. page 71..

`For better planning and

preparedness, institutions must de-anchor risk

prioritization from shorter-term incentives. Despite

regularly featuring in the top rankings, the most

severe global risks – pertaining particularly to climate

and nature – are those we are still the least prepared

for. The majority of GRPS respondents assessed

existing measures to prevent or prepare for the

Failure to mitigate climate change, Failure of

climate-change adaptation, and Biodiversity loss

and ecosystem collapse as ineffective or highly

ineffective (Figure 4.1). Similarly, most respondents

considered preparedness to be inadequate for

Misinformation and disinformation, Erosion

of social cohesion and societal polarization,

Involuntary migration and Cost-of-living crisis.`
