Conspiracy theories aside, there is something fishy about the Great Reset

I recently went down the rabbit hole of learning about stakeholder theory vs shareholder theory (aka the Friedman Doctrine). Shareholder primacy has been the norm for corporations for decades since the 70s and 80s after Milton Friedman published his essay in favor of it, which is worth reading and understanding:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;1970&#x2F;09&#x2F;13&#x2F;archives&#x2F;a-friedman-doctrine-the-social-responsibility-of-business-is-to.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;1970&#x2F;09&#x2F;13&#x2F;archives&#x2F;a-friedman-doctr...</a><p>Essentially his argument boils down to this: stakeholders is a fuzzy undefined term, which allows the executives to use their imagination on who are the stakeholders and what do they really want since there&#x27;s no voting process, unlike shareholder voting and concretely defined goals of maximizing value for shareholders. As a result, Friedman theorizes that executives essentially become central planners who allocate resources in a less optimal way than what free markets would be able to do. Thus it is argued that governments are better suited for this task rather than corporations.

That was an interesting read. It made me think of the futures depicted in William Gibson&#x27;s cyberpunk sci-fi novels, which I have long accepted as the probable future.

Just to be clear, the article starts by bring intrigued by a story they themselves summarize as:<p>“ The set of conspiracy theories around the Great Reset are nebulous and hard to pin down, but piecing them together gives us something like this: the Great Reset is the global elite’s plan to instate a communist world order by abolishing private property while using COVID-19 to solve overpopulation and enslaving what remains of humanity with vaccines.”<p>…and while it continues with a completely unrelated and mildly less batshit-crazy idea of its own, it doesn’t get any more believable. It’s old method of taking quotes out of context, adding innuendo, and going for the bad-faith interpretation. What’s strangest about this is the unshakable belief that some evil conspiracy would publish reports on their meetings where they couldn’t avoid giving away the game plan in only mildly obfuscated language.

The whole term “The Great Reset” just doesn’t sit well with me. Then again “New World Order” didn’t either.

Conspiracy theories, taken generally, seem to very clearly be an expression of the collective unconscious. Not in the full-on woo-woo way, just &quot;collective unconscious&quot; in the sense of a large population considering a problem or situation instinctively, rather than explicitly and rationally. As such, you usually don&#x27;t want to take them at face value, but it&#x27;s also a mistake to discard them completely. They often point to something very real that is going on under the surface. The hard part, like any expression of the subconscious, is trying to separate signal from noise, but there IS a signal there. If there wasn&#x27;t, the &quot;conspiracy theory&quot; would never catch on.<p>All that said:<p>&quot;The plan from which the Great Reset originated was called the Global Redesign Initiative. Drafted by the WEF after the 2008 economic crisis, the initiative contains a 600-page report on transforming global governance. In the WEF’s vision, &#x27;the government voice would be one among many, without always being the final arbiter.&#x27;&quot;<p>I&#x27;d say the &quot;Conspiracy Theorists&quot; are pretty on the money here. It&#x27;s literally an attempt to take power away from existing governments and deliver it to a cabal of multinational corporations, which is, in effect, the &quot;One World Government&quot; the Theorists love to crow about. And never forget, they&#x27;ve been trying to do this, in some form or another, since at least the 30s: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Business_Plot" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Business_Plot</a>

If big pharma isn&#x27;t supposed to be involved in vaccine development and distribution, who should be?
