Warren’s great reset
What’s wrong with wanting to reset the world? War, disease, despots, starvation, climate upheaval and more. I don’t know (or care) what reset the people in Davos want, but I’m all for resetting a world as fucked up as this one. https://t.co/ZAt8UwlRFZ

We reap what we sow. “The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction”.
Sounds about right to me. There is no mortal reset. It’s too late. Our grandchildren, if they survive the next 5 years, will grow to curse us for all that we have left and done to them.
End of sermon……………………….
Reset to what?
The world is better now than it ever has been.
To be better than that.
If you want to improve the world fine.
But when you say ‘reset’ you are implying a return to some kind of previous conditions.
I asked reset to what? Because many people seem to have the idea that the world was better in the past. In reality every decade has been better off than earlier decades.
So if people say ‘reset’ shouldn’t they tell us to what former conditions they’d like to return to?
I would like a Finance reset to pre-1971 Sound Money and
a gold standard backed via imprimatur that respects Monetary Policy whereby Keynes is taken with a grain of salt.
But back in 1971 Canada was pretty pink faced compared to the multicultural society we have today. I would rather have the multiculturalism and secular Charter of Rights & Freedoms milieu we have today.
I do appreciate that we have become a true multicultural society so I agree with Trudeau senior on the Liberal ethos of highly varied ethnicity via population. I do appreciate the European model of multiculturalism that has manifested over time. I don’t appreciate the white supremacist ethnocentrism of the Republicans and the USA.

I don’t want climate lockdowns, mandatory vaccination, a social credit score, increased surveillance, morr attempts to weaken religion and more division between rich and poor. That’s very negative, in my opinion.
Gilbert,
Dying is the most negative, as plenty are about to personally find out. I’m willing to visit ’em in the ICU, that is, if they don’t croak first.
Warren surely doesn’t need me defending his reset but i fully agree. I do feel we are better off than any time in history but “ to be better than that” is the most perfect response to cop-outs that downplay an opportunity to be better than we’ve ever been.
A reset does not have to be a step back as short sighted comments suggest. Reset means go in another direction not turn back to another time.
It’s okay lots of people fear change. True leaders embrace the opportunity that change presents.
Phil,
Mind you, Hill’s red reset button with Lavrov sure went peachy, not!
Here is why people are cautious about “the great reset”. It’s because that sort of commentary usually come from groups who stand to benefit (financially, politically, etc..) from whatever things are being reset to.
Those lobby groups don’t give a crap what happens to our society that – as others have pointed out – is already doing better than any time in history.
They want to belly up to the trough, and have governments mandate their citizenry to buy whatever it is the resetters are selling – or just get direct handouts (or political favors) from said governments.
This isn’t about making the world full of sunshine and unicorns. It’s about enriching the groups begging for the reset, at the expense of others.
Steve,
Sort of like the 413. Apparently. LOL.
