I mean on the big scale, yes of course. Why would the ones in power organize themself out of the equation. But it started as a good willed thing of course.
I think it’s important to have a distinction between the concept and the organized bit
Yeah pretty much. It's seems like it was the same people who were behind ESG/DEI who are now most keen to dismantle it.
The 360 degrees turnaround was very noticeable. It coincided with Elon's purchase of Twitter and the start of Israel/Palestine conflict which highlighted some deep divides.
All these wars, conflicts and social movements feel orchestrated but obviously there is no full or genuine consensus so it's bound to keep falling apart in spectacular ways which finance people use to extract profits... The real winners here.
It leaves the more ideologically minded feeling confused and betrayed... Then business and political leaders keep talking about rebuilding trust. Just as they keep constructing new schemes. But how do you rebuild trust without trustworthiness?
Felt like massive PsyOps. I'm not surprised at all that Trump got elected. It's like the overarching social narrative had literally gone insane and we were expected to follow along? We're approaching a point where only insane people CAN keep up with the 'current thing' at this stage... Or you need a very short memory...
That is how many US corporations are run, at least in the software space. There are always "new" initiatives and mass movements, 180° turns, new billing platforms or HR software every month etc.
It is to identify the faithful and true believers who tell the CEO that all this is a sign of genius. Also to identify those who can lie best and are therefore promoted.
And just like in corporations pointing it out is flagged here.
Yep I can definitely sense this. It's not ambiguous anymore. Also, a lot of corporate employees I spoke/chat with tend to portray their situation as being paid big salaries just to suffer by playing this game. As if their suffering creates any value for society. It's a twisted social contract. I'm sure it's harmful mentally.
Imagine this is the best way to make money nowadays; what will the next generation of elites look like after decades of abusing themselves mentally in this way? The future looks grim. Common sense has gone out the window.
It already doesn't make sense to me why people with a lot of money would choose to shape society in this cynical way. What more could they want from society? They literally have the best it can offer and yet they approach life with with intense self-destructive cynicism. I understand why people are giving into conspiracy theories. The motivations of the elite don't add up unless you assume twisted hidden/secret elements. The rich, in all their abundance, seem to act like desperate people.
The desperation to achieve specific goals doesn't mesh well with abundance. Abundance should mean stepping off the accelerator.
