Davos 2012 – World Economic Forum
Posted on | January 25, 2012 by Benjamin Dovecar
Has anything changed since last year’s meeting? Of course it has! Everything only got drastically worse. The world is standing on the brink of a financial collapse.
That’s why I will just re-publish my last year’s article and once again point out the incompetence of the participants of this forum to solve the problems we’re facing.
Wasting money for nothing.
Even before this summit of the “most developed” nations kicks off, we can say it’s one big waste of money.
Why?
Because the world they imagine and create simply cannot function. Because it’s the kind of world that:
- creates new crises,
- keeps giving more to those who have everything while taking away from those who have nothing,
- wages wars out of appetite for power and wealth,
- spreads crime,
- encourages corruption,
- exploits people,
- deepens social injustice,
- destroys ecological wholeness of the planet,
- changes the climate,
- and even puts human existence in danger.
No matter how many times they meet — a hundred, a thousand — the outcome will be the same: one big nothing.
- Because they don’t get that the above mentioned issues can no longer be solved by money.
- Because the amount of money they would need doesn’t even exist.
- Because in the end all money will run out.
- Because the world will go bankrupt.
Yet they will keep trying and building a world that depends on money, uninsured credits, worthless securities, false business successes, stock market speculation, banking games, political intrigues and secret agreements.
A waste of time and money that goes into those summits. These kinds of meetings could be done through video conferences and the money could be instead given to charitable organizations, hospitals, social establishments, organizations for animal and environmental protection. To anybody, just don’t waste it on this and future fruitless meetings.
But then, if this money went for something useful, our “saviors of the world” wouldn’t be in the center of attention. Nobody would talk about them. Nobody would talk about how important and irreplaceable they are. They would be nothing, just as nothing will come out of their meeting. What will remain, however, is disunity, distrust and some non-obligatory declaration. And of course let’s not forget about the photoshoot at the end to wrap up the summit. That’s most important.
That’s why I write about ecohumanism. About the ecohumanist society that doesn’t solve global problems with money but courage, will, perseverance and a goal to create a world of a better today and the future.
