Back in May 2021 this site published a blog of mine entitled “You will own nothing and you will be happy”[1]whereby I wrote about the World Economic Forum’s plan as driven by the Globalist Elite to drive society into a new dystopian reality: that of the removal of private ownership to destabilize economies and now by promoting food insecurity.
This plan by the WEF was already being given to humanity back in 2016 showing that the plan was there way back before the start of Covid-19. Covid-19 was just the foundation to set this plan going.
Forbes back in 2016 had already given insight about this. What is also of utmost importance about this article entitled “Welcome to 2030: I own nothing have no privacy and life has never been better”[2]is the fact that it was written by Ida Auken for the WEF which was then published on its website ahead of the WEF Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils.[3]Auken is also a Young Global Leader and Member of the Global Future Council on Cities and Urbanization[4]of the same forum. Forbes then republished it.
This piece has been criticized as portraying an unrealistic “utopia” at the cost of privacy. In response Auken said that the article merely represented a potential future scenario rather than any personal utopia of her own. So why was the article renamed to “Here’s how life could change in my city by the year 2030?” and archived by the WEF’s website?[5]
The article reads:
“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.
It might seem odd to you but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product has now become a service. We have access to transportation accommodation food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free so it ended up not making sense for us to own much.
First communication became digitized and free to everyone. Then when clean energy became free things started to move quickly. Transportation dropped dramatically in price. It made no sense for us to own cars anymore because we could call a driverless vehicle or a flying car for longer journeys within minutes. We started transporting ourselves in a much more organized and coordinated way when public transport became easier quicker and more convenient than the car. Now I can hardly believe that we accepted congestion and traffic jams not to mention the air pollution from combustion engines. What were we thinking?
Sometimes I use my bike when I go to see some of my friends. I enjoy the exercise and the ride. It kind of gets the soul to come along on the journey. Funny how some things seem never seem to lose their excitement: walking biking cooking drawing and growing plants. It makes perfect sense and reminds us of how our culture emerged out of a close relationship with nature.
In our city we don’t pay any rent because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there.
Once in a while I will choose to cook for myself. It is easy – the necessary kitchen equipment is delivered at my door within minutes. Since transport became free we stopped having all those things stuffed into our home. Why keep a pasta-maker and a crepe cooker crammed into our cupboards? We can just order them when we need them.
This also made the breakthrough of the circular economy easier. When products are turned into services no one has an interest in things with a short life span. Everything is designed for durability repairability and recyclability. The materials are flowing more quickly in our economy and can be transformed to new products pretty easily. Environmental problems seem far away since we only use clean energy and clean production methods. The air is clean the water is clean and nobody would dare to touch the protected areas of nature because they constitute such value to our well-being. In the cities we have plenty of green space and plants and trees all over. I still do not understand why in the past we filled all free spots in the city with concrete.
Shopping? I can’t really remember what that is. For most of us it has been turned into choosing things to use. Sometimes I find this fun and sometimes I just want the algorithm to do it for me. It knows my taste better than I do by now.
When Artificial Intelligence [AI] and robots took over so much of our work we suddenly had time to eat well sleep well and spend time with other people. The concept of rush hour makes no sense anymore since the work that we do can be done at any time. I don’t really know if I would call it work anymore. It is more like thinking-time creation-time and development-time.
For a while everything was turned into entertainment and people did not want to bother themselves with difficult issues. It was only at the last minute that we found out how to use all these new technologies for better purposes than just killing time.
My biggest concern is all the people who do not live in our city. Those we lost on the way. Those who decided that it became too much all this technology. Those who felt obsolete and useless when robots and AI took over big parts of our jobs. Those who got upset with the political system and turned against it. They live different kind of lives outside of the city. Some have formed little self-supplying communities. Others just stayed in the empty and abandoned houses in small 19th century villages.
Once in a while I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. Nowhere I can go and not be registered. I know that somewhere everything I do think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me.
All in all it is a good life. Much better than the path we were on where it became so clear that we could not continue with the same model of growth. We had all these terrible things happening: lifestyle diseases climate change the refugee crisis environmental degradation completely congested cities water pollution air pollution social unrest and unemployment. We lost way too many people before we realized that we could do things differently.”
They always tell you.
