Sometimes the darkness gets too close. I've been watching some of the panels from this year's World Economic Forum summit. To understand The WEF you have to understand their language. Every panel is a masturbatory pseudo-intellectual labyrinth filled with finely tuned corporate HR slogans. They speak in the type of code that you'd expect from unimaginative milque-toast metropolitan pencil pushers:
On my worse days, I see similarly (and watching any of those buzzword-laden presentations does not help!) and can be easily frozen in horror envisioning the future these creatures would impose upon us. Not for any of the dubious goals they claim, but essentially to kill and enslave us as unsavory peasants, maintaining only a few for constant cash-milking. I don't know whether to call my better days, when I focus on the necessary things in my real world and pursue my own pinpricks of resistance, offer some antidote, or may prove only delusion.

Interesting analysis. Maybe our best hope is their hubris and incompetence.
