The Great Reset: Completion of Surveillance Capitalism and the Trap of 'Ownership-Free Happiness'
1. Created Crisis and the “Narrow Window” for Reset
Schwab states in his book, “The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.” This sentence became the basis for the conviction of conspiracy theorists that “the crisis was intentionally triggered, or utilized, for the reset.” *The Trap of Stakeholder Capitalism : This philosophy—that corporations should serve not just shareholders but “society as a whole”—appears moral at first glance. However, from a conspiracy perspective, it is seen as a process where private corporations become inextricably integrated with state power, transforming into “supra-national totalitarianism” to control citizens from all directions. *CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) and Economic Erasure : The plan to strip “anonymity and freedom” from cash and force a transition to digital currencies programmable with expiration dates or purposes. In a post-reset world, it is whispered that your deposits could be frozen with a single keystroke by authorities, or that only “authorized consumption” according to your Social Credit score would be allowed.
2. The Era of No Ownership: Completion of Domestication and “15-Minute Cities”
The words “own nothing” in a WEF promotion video depicting the future of 2030 mean that all aspects of our lives (housing, transport, clothing, daily necessities) will be replaced by “subscriptions” from massive capital. This is not the abandonment of property rights, but an invitation to a state of ultimate dependence on elite corporations. *Restriction of Movement and 15-Minute Cities : A city design where all life is completed within a 15-minute walk, introduced under the pretext of climate change measures. It is criticized not as an improvement in convenience, but as a segregation policy into practical residential districts and the installation of “digital checkpoints” to restrict movement without permission. *Deconstruction of Food : The abolition of traditional livestock farming due to environmental load and the enforcement of insect-based diets or synthetic meat. This suggests that even the final stronghold of “food,” which directly connects to human survival, will be controlled by the whims of the management layer.
3. Analysis: Optimized Hell, or Managed “Happiness”
The ideal of “sustainability” aimed for by the Great Reset is too correct, and too cold.
Our inefficient, wasteful, but “free” lives are about to be forcibly updated to “correct” lives optimized by AI and algorithms. This “managed happiness” is nothing other than the ultimate nightmare for those who value human dignity.
After the reset button is pressed, will what remains be a “managed utopia” like a beautifully maintained garden, or a massive “open cage” for livestock assigned numbers?
4. Professional Perspective: “Conferences” as the Substantialization of Conspiracy
What is terrifying about the Great Reset is that it is not a secret talk of a secret society, but is being boldly declared in a public forum—the Davos Forum.
Conspiracy theories usually try to expose what is hidden, but in the Great Reset, “what is visible” has become the source of fear. A process of rewriting the rules of the world with overwhelming power while pretending to be transparent. We are now, for the first time in history, witnessing a massive spectacle: “world restructuring proceeding in real-time.”
