Anyone who is "visible" in this world certainly cannot be a main character, in fact, he is "exposed" precisely to divert attention from the "invisible" main characters with his visibility. Written by László Bogár.
Although the gatherings of the World Economic Forum, which are meant to be spectacular, are becoming more and more boring farce, it is still worth using them as an excuse to reflect on the deepest connections of the human world in connection with this event. Such organizations always make the basic question of whether the human world as a complex system is self-regulating, in which there is no institutionalized "subject" who keeps the system under control, or if there really is such a "subject", because without its existence the the operation of the system would not even be interpretable, the only reason it does not show itself is because it wants to control the world without having to take any responsibility for its decisions.
The question can be decided relatively easily based on the logic of statistical thermodynamics, because if a complex system is self-regulating, only chance reigns in it, while if there is a "mysterious attractor" that controls the world as an "invisible subject", then its coordination function is repeating patterns definitely shows up in its form.
If we look at the history of the past centuries, the latter assumption is quite clearly justified, as we see the repetition of many patterns of fundamental importance, which supports our assumption that the world has some complex coordination mechanism, what's more, the world is simply the "medium" of an unknown as a world force, which, in a spiritual sense, is, at least for the time being, ungraspable for us.
The World Economic Forum, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, to name just a few of these organizations, represent a special, intermediate state.
They provide a forum for the people who dominate the world's dominant capital structures, the actors of the global political power system and the highest level players in science and technology.
Apparently, they are already playing the role of some kind of not-so-secret "world government", but this is presumably just a rather confusing charade. After all, anyone who is "visible" in this world cannot be a protagonist, in fact, he is "exposed" precisely to divert attention from the "invisible" protagonists with his visibility.
The matter is controversial even on an elementary level, because the masters of these organizations obviously consider the socio-economic combination of liberal democracy and free market economy to be the best of all existing worlds. But if this is so, then all their aspirations, even their existence, are incomprehensible from the start, because the combination of liberal democracy and free market economy just supports the fact that the world is absolutely self-regulating, there is not and cannot be any kind of "invisible global coordinator", in fact they classify as "conspiracy theory production" all other assumptions, that is, that they would be the "masters" of the world.
This irresolvable contradiction is the reason for Davos's increasingly confusing role, his increasingly boring, drowning in disinterest.
The effort to restore trust, as the main goal of the conference, could be right in itself, but it is rather a parody of itself to imagine it as if Russia does not exist, or if by chance it does exist, then its only "task" is to to allow himself to be plundered by global capital structures in perfect vulnerability.
Therefore, it cannot be interpreted that liberal tolerance might be able to understand that all actors of a lasting conflict should be given at least the elementary opportunity to formulate their own narrative.
The triad of global capital, politics and science and technology that also come together in Davos, by the way, accurately describes the real way our world is organized. As a persistent prostitute, global capital "uses" two crucial elements of human existence: politics and science. Politics includes the mechanism and institutions of the complex self-recreation of human communities, and science includes the spiritual energy that promotes the material and physical conditions of a dignified life. The pathological way of organization, in which the profit-based global business keeps politics and science as prostitutes, can only lead to nothing from the beginning, because it destroys the deepest spiritual basis of human existence.
The most serious dilemma of the "invisible" masters of the world is that during the decades ahead, the lowest points of three crisis cycles will converge, and this may plunge the entire human world into a crisis of unprecedented depth.
One such cycle is the end of America's century of world power. During the last half-millennium, America has been the sixth empire, and the changes of empire every hundred years have always been accompanied by "great wars", as is evidently the case now. But the probability that there will not be a seventh empire is increasing, because the entire way of organization, the "universal civilization" of the modern West, which has lasted for five to six hundred years, is also collapsing.
This represents a very serious challenge, because the "non-Western" part of the world is also absolutely Westernized, and for the time being there is no concept, neither at the theoretical nor at the practical level, of what an alternative to Western existence could be.
The situation is further aggravated by the fact that the endings of the one-hundred-year and five- to six-hundred-year cycles are joined by the final phase of a way of organizing existence that has practiced a world dictatorship hidden for three thousand years, which will either - as a so far inexplicably dark dystopia - eliminate humanity, or desperately, as a result Humanity, thoughtlessly trying to resist, annihilates itself during this struggle.
