We’ve all seen the meme. “This is fine,” with flames all around. The dog sipping its coffee with a dumb smile on its face like its house isn’t on fire. Did you know there’s a name for the phenomenon captured by that meme? It’s called “normalcy bias,” which is a false belief that things are going as they normally do even when they aren’t. And here, then, as we do on James Lindsay OnlySubs, my subscribers-only podcast, we come upon a point about our favorite Very Smart People: they suffer extreme normalcy bias and thus make every excuse for the Woke Marxist abuses in our world while seemingly unable to understand them. This is how normalcy bias works. Just like in the meme, people will end up in casual conversations in a burning building instead of taking action to escape to safety, or otherwise, as they process their cognitive dissonance that arises from the fact that the world is not, as it turns out, carrying on as normal. Join me for a little discussion about this challenging phenomenon.

    Having captured adult politicians with their Young Global Leaders putsch, Schwab and the WEF’s tentacles now (since 2017) have their “Global Shapers” indoctrination programs in every country for the “youth” (under 30).

    Klaus Schwab is the L Ron Hubbard of the Global Borg People.

    “10,389 Shapers 482 Hubs 148 Countries 4,120 Alumni”
    Here’s a USA WEF youth “hub” picked at random, Nashville Tennessee:
    https://www.globalshapers.org/hubs/nashville-hub

    “Founded in 2011, the Global Shapers Community now spans more than 14,000 members driving dialogue, action and change in 448 hubs in 150 countries and territories. Thus, the 2020-2021 period marked a year of great celebration and impact.” https://weforum.ent.box.com/v/gsc-annual-report-20-21

    I thought you may appreciate this 2016 article on Maoism’s influence on the world in the 1960s-70s.
