Klaus breaks down the Covid-19: The Great Reset into three broad categories: Macro Reset, Micro Reset, and Individual Reset.

A Macro Reset sounds ominous, but the way Klaus makes it sound, it’s no big deal.

He makes the observation that the world is interconnected, very much so.

He quotes Kishore Mahbubani:

“The 7 billion people who inhabit planet earth no longer live in more than one hundred separate boats [countries]. Instead they all live in 193 separates cabins on the same boat.”(22)

Needless to say that is a very globalist way of thinking and Klaus continues with the boat metaphor:

“if we 7.5 billion people are now stuck together on a virus-infected cruise ship, does it not make sense to clear and scrub only our personal cabins while ignoring the corridors and air wells outside, through which the virus travels? The answer is clearly no: Yet this is what we have been doing … Since we are now in the same boat, humanity has to take care of the global boat as a whole.”(22).

I suppose this would be correct if you agreed with the analogy, which I don’t.

We are 193 independent nations on the planet, not a 193 countries being ruled by supra-national organization.

Well, at least in theory, that’s supposed to be the case.

If you notice the response from world governments, you’d swear we were on that cruise ship and all of us were instructed to do the same, which our leaders dutifully did.

Notice that he says nothing of who is running this cruise ship.

Last time I checked there was a captain, and staff, not to mention an owner.

Are we to believe that an independent nation is now nothing more than an occupant being told what to do?

In the 4th Industrial Revolution Klaus basically says just that because, at least as I see it, the creation of a policy and administration of that policy are completely decoupled.

Klaus goes on to tell us that:

“an interdependent world is a world of deep systemic connectivity, in which all risks affect each other through a web of complex interactions.”(23)

I don’t think anyone would disagree with that statement. Most of us understand that today’s world is highly interconnected, the same goes for “… economic risks turning into political ones.”(23)

Again, this is obvious. However, Klaus makes the observation that:

“when considered in isolation, individual risks - whether economic, geopolitical, societal, or environmental in character - give the false impression that they can be contained or mitigated; in real life, systemic connectivity shows this to be an artificial construct. In an interdependent world, risks amplify each other and, in doing so, have cascading effects. That is why isolation or containment cannot rhyme with interdependence and interconnectedness.”(23)

On its face, this seems entirely reasonable, and what we have seen is just that.

Can this concept of interconnectedness be the reason governments shutdown practically everything, to show the masses that your existence doesn’t just relate to you and the surrounding resources, but you relate to basically everything everywhere?

By shutting the economy down and forcing everyone to work from home, you create the concept of isolation and containment on a very real level for everyone to see quite clearly.

None of us liked that.

Now that things are lifted, are we now supposed to understand that interdependence and interconnectedness are really a much better prospect for people and we should strive to think in this interconnected way?

As I see it, this boils down to either having an individual or a group mentality.

Individuality, according to Klaus, is essentially wrong, thinking as a group apparently is better.

It is true, individuality and group identity are incompatible, but it is also true that individuals live in society, which is basically a group.

The question then becomes where is the line between being an individual and an individual’s responsibility toward the group?

There are multiple factors in trying to figure out that question, but for me it’s even simpler, it’s either a question about self-reliance or reliance on others.

Isn’t self-reliance first better that reliance on others first?

I don’t understand why anyone would think that makes sense.

Imagine you’re all alone in the middle of nowhere and you have a problem.

Is your first response figuring out what the problem is and fixing it, or do nothing and hope someone comes by?

All of us,on some level, already think ofour place in the group. It appears Klaus wants us to only think of the group, which is an impossibility.

I doubt very much anyone is going to think in terms of interconnectedness and their decisions.

Young children who are conditioned from an early age will, and I believe, all of this isn’t for the Gen X’er or Boomer, or even the Millennial, this is for the children born in 2015 and after.

When they reach their teen years, their thinking will be formed around this pandemic and others and a generation after that everything as we know it will be vastly different - but that’s just conspiracy talk.

Klaus mentions:

“an ‘infectious diseases’ risk is bound to have a direct effect on ‘global governance failure’, ‘social instability’, ‘unemployment’, ‘fiscal crises’ and ‘involuntary migration’(to name just a few).”(24)

Sounds like Covid doesn’t it?

Klaus is a fan of interdependence because it “invalidates ‘silo thinking’”(26) which makes sense when he believes that:

“conflation and systemic connectivity are what ultimately matter, addressing a problem or assessing an issue or a risk in isolation from others is senseless and futile.”(26)

He goes on to suggest that silo thinking is part of the reason why the credit crisis of 2008 wasn’t predicted, or the Arab Uprising in 2011.

Did he ever think that the group think was so strong to invalidate any other interpretation?

The financial crisis was global, because everyone was doing the same thing. There were signs, everyone just chose to ignore them.

So yes silo thinking was a result, but when the silo is the prevailing theory and encompasses 99.99% of an industry, is it really the fault of silo thinking, or could it be that no one had an original thought because they were beholden to a system they never thought would implode?

The Arab Uprising is another one, if you’re looking at the wrong data you will come up with the wrong result.

Now, I will say Klaus is on to something when he says:

“Understandably, most experts end up being segregated into increasingly narrow fields. Therefore, they lack the enlarged view necessary to connect the many different dots that provide the more complete picture the decision-makers desperately need.”(26)

Isn’t this the same problem we have today?

How is the future going to change that?

How can a government or a governance body be “agile” like he suggests, in the 4th Industrial Revolution, when this problem is still around?

If you don’t have all of the information, how long will it take to get? This seems to be incongruent with what he says in The 4th Industrial Revolution.

This all relates to something he calls velocity.

By page 27, Klaus gives us some statistics that appear to be driving what he calls velocity of interdependence.

• The Internet is a game changer
• 52% of the world is online
• 1.5 billion cellphones
• IoT connects 22 billion devices ranging from toasters to cars.

You get the point, things increase quickly, he then switches to Covid and tells us of its progression, his point, is:

“The same tends to happen for big systemic shift and disruption in general: things tend to change gradually at first and then all at once. Expect the same for the macro reset.”(29)

So basically, we’ll go kicking and screaming until a point is reached where we just give up and say “fuck it” and let it overtake us.

The point Klaus is making is that velocity creates problems we can’t really deal with.

Today, with all of our modern conveniences, we expect things to be faster and available.

If it’s not, we don’t like it, whereas governments can’t move quickly or be agile enough for the voting public.

Klaus makes the observation that velocity caused:

“a vast majority of countries, the speed with which the epidemic progressed made it impossible to have sufficient testing capabilities, and then it overwhelmed many national health systems equipped to deal with predictable recurrent and rather slow seasonal flu but not a ‘superfast’ pandemic.”(31)

Klaus seems to gloss over the very real fact that governments around the world have reduced their healthcare spending for decades.

Canada, specifically, went from 4.55 hospital beds/1000 in 2000 to 2.52/1000 in 2020 which is a problem just generally, not to mention the lack of critical care beds which sits at 1.97 ICU beds for every 100,000 residents..

I might add that surges of patients overwhelming emergency rooms, at least in Canada has been happening for years.

“In our emergency rooms, we would normally see about 150 patients a week with influenza; now it’s nearly 700,”

That was from a CTV News article from 2013, so you see this is nothing new.

Covid just brought that issue to the fore.

The other issue that almost everyone doesn’t seem to want to understand is that there is no system, either man-made or natural, that is limitless.

The universe has an edge for christ’s sake.

The other thing that no one seems to realize, although Klaus points it out, is that any health care system is designed for every day, not pandemics, or disasters, or white, or black swan events.

No emergency room on the planet can accommodate an unlimited amount of people, nor can a hospital.

Now, having said that, I’ve always wondered why, when the emergency room is overloaded why more resources aren’t sent to them, or unused beds in different wards are temporarily allocated to them.

The world over surgeries were put on hold, yet curiously, as far as I am aware none of those resources, including beds were used for the emergency room overflow that was created because of Covid.

Some may say a hospital isn’t designed to be as “agile” as that, which goes to my point, no system is limitless and governments and hospitals have to consider money along with service levels.

I’m sure a hospital with 50% of the beds empty, for emergencies only, would be considered a waste of money, as such the beds are reduced - this is the world we live in.

It wasn’t the “super-fast pandemic” that caused hospitals to be overloaded. 

It was an event that shone a light on the inadequacies of a health care system that has been deficient for quite some time.

In this instance it was covid, but it very well could have been a natural disaster, or a massive multi car accident, or a building collapse. Yes, those are localized, but they show the same point.

Hospitals and the health care systems, in general, are not equipped to deal with drastic events, not to mention the political aspect that twists facts for the benefit of some and to the detriment of others.

Lastly, according to Klaus, “… decision-makers have more information and more analysis than ever before, but less time to decide.”(31)

I’ve never known a government to move quickly and immediate decisions on complex issues seems like a bad idea like I’ve suggested in The 4th Industrial Revolution.

Klaus seems to think the “decision-makers”, not elected officials I might add, are the ones who need time to decide.

How much time is too much or too little? It seems regardless of the issue, there will be those who criticize or extol.

Complexity is another aspect of this macro reset Klaus tells us about, and accordking to him:

“Complexity can be defined as what we don’t understand or find difficult to understand”(31)

I think that’s a pretty standard definition and to me and probably to many others, simple is desirable over complex.

Klaus tells us that non-linearity is a component of complexity that creates unforeseen issues.

These are the black swan events.

The issue I have with this concept is it assumes things are too complex to understand entirely.

Klaus uses the 2008 financial crisis as his example. He says:

“how many ‘experts’ anticipated the mortgage-backed securities originating in the United States would cripple banks around the world and ultimately bring the global financial system to the verge of collapse?”(32)

All one needs to do is watch the movie The Big Short.

It wasn’t that the information wasn’t there; it was that the mainstream experts, who drink from the same trough as everyone else, didn’t look at the data that was readily available to everyone in the industry.

To me the 2008 financial crisis is a poor example, but Klaus then asks:

“and in the early weeks of 2020, how many decision-makers foresaw the extent which a possible pandemic would wreak havoc on some of the most sophisticated health systems in the world and would inflict such major damage to the global economy.”(33)

I guess you have to accept the premise that the pandemic inflicted major damage.

I personally don’t think so.

It was the co-ordinated worldwide response that inflicted major damage.

On page 33 is the real reason why he frames Covid in the way he does.

He tells us interdependence, velocity, and complexity are so important that:

“the management of a complex adaptive system require continuous real-time but ever changing collaboration between a vast array of disciplines, and between different fields within these disciplines.”(33).

That means data, data, data, and how do you get that?

“… The containment of the corona virus pandemic will Necessitate

A GLOBAL SURVEILLANCE NETWORK

capable of identifying new outbreaks as soon as they arise…”(33)

There you have it.

The real reason, or you can hear it from Yuval Noah Harari, Klaus Schwab’s minion where he states:

“Covid is critical because this is what convinces people to accept, to legitimize total biometrics surveillance.”

If one was a conspiracy theorist, one could suggest tha Covid-19 was engineered and controlled to kill just enough to create fear in the population so they would welcome such invasive technology.

Turns out covid wasn’t that bad - and the globalists are now scrambling to figure out how to salvage this event.

The overriding quesiton in my mind is why?

• Why is this necessary?
• Are humans so delicate that we can’t ever get sick?
• It’s an imperative for a government to know and understand my medical condition every minute of every day for what reason exactly?

I don’t buy the reason that ***Klaus*** gives us.

If they really cared, which we know they don’t, wouldn’t a government instead promote a healthy lifestyle, educate the population in nutrition and the importance of physical activity?

Hell, why not mandate the population to take nutrition courses and “force” everyone to exercise every day and ban “all the bad food”.

This is probably more useful.

Yet instead, total surveillance is the answer?

I think we can all agree everyone’s well-being is not in the equation for the necessity of this, but what is the end-game?

If we take a look at http://www.globalistagenda.org/goal.htm let’s see what it says:

• New World Order -Klaus calls it a “new normal” - Marx says destroy society.
• World Governance -Klaus says that in the 4th Industrial Revolution and the Great Reset. Marx says Communism.
• Merger of Capitalism and Communism -Klaus calls is a public-private partnership - this is probably more palatable to most people - If you read my interpretation of the Communist Manifesto, you’ll know that this is one and the same.
• Population Reduction - Most globalist believe there are too many people.Klausdoesn’t mention it in The Great Reset, but Yuval Noah Harari believes it.
• Return to Feudalism - Marx said it, andKlaus*** touched on it in The 4th Revolution.***
• Scientific Dictatorship - Society run by scientific elites, ie, The Technocratic Era

Returning to the last few pages, Klaus says global governance is a way to manage this

“… communities can prepare and react effectively, appropriate and coordinated policy mechanisms to efficiently implement the decisions once they are made and so on.”(34)

It doesn’t leap from the page, but remember, in the 4th Industrial Revolution he advocates for global governance, and to him policy creation and implementation are decoupled.

Finally, in the last couple of pages, Klaus tells us that the Asian countries were:

“Better prepared to act quickly because they were prepared logistically and organizationally (due to SARS) and thus were able to lessen the impact of the pandemic. By contrast, many Western countries were unprepared and were ravaged by the pandemic - it is no coincidence that they are ones in which the false notion of a black-swan event circulated the most.”(35)

Are we then to assume that hospitals and emergency rooms in Asian countries weren’t overrun then, or they were and that doesn’t fit the narrative?

Anyway, the thing I find strange is how does Klaus know Western countries were ravaged only six months into a pandemic that lasted two years?

Maybe it’s just hyperbole.

The entire point of this section can be summed up as “complexity creates limits to our knowledge and understanding of things.”(35)

So in order to gain that knowledge and understanding, we need a global surveillance network complete with biometrics so those in power have all the data necessary to make a decision on the “well-being” of its citizens?

Seems like a very large, complicated solution with a lot of non-linearity.

I’m not sure the reason for this solution is valid.

One would think, governments have processes in place to meet the kinds of issues things like Covid-19 create.

As it appears they do, at least Canada, yet none of them followed their own policies and procedures

The question it leaves us with is why?
