Let us, for a moment, direct the Eye of Sauron onto a new ringbearer.
The Great Reset as an ideology got, as far as I can tell, its start innocently enough as a book published in 2010 in light of the 2008 recession, written by Richard Florida. Richard is an urban studies theorist, head and professor of Martin Prosperity Institute Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and distinguished fellow at NYU's school of professional studies. Richard Florida is known most of all for coining the term "creative class" and purporting an Atlas Shrugged narrative of talent migration from suburbs to major cities. He places an emphasis on focusing time on fostering talent rather than projects like sports stadiums, monuments or other city developments as the means to rebound a flailing economy, and he even came up with weird indexes that rate cities by a "Bohemian index," a "Gay index," and a "diversity index".
As you can probably guess, back when cancel culture wasn't as prevalent as it is now, Richard's theories came under scrutiny and criticism. Such criticism cites his theories to be massively political in nature and having no practical value, and noting that education quality is a better metric for determining lasting economic recovery.
The Great Reset is an accelerationist ideology that purports economic collapses to be the central driving force behind innovation, and that major cities, government districts and college towns will prosper in light of an economic collapse due to their attraction of the creative class, whereas industrial towns will die off. Richard also purports that because of this, most of the innovative developments will occur in big cities due to their scale economies. It's in part 3 of Richard's book that a key detail is revealed, where he alleges that Millennials dislike owning private property and would rather pay for experiences & social activities. Hmmm...
To be perfectly honest, I have no idea if Richard Florida's writings have any influence on the World Economic Forum or if the "Great Reset" namesake is some enormous coincidence, but I have doubts.

The World Economic Forum is an international non-government organization founded in 1971 by Klaus Schwab in Cologny, Geneva Canton, Switzerland. The WEF's mission statement is "committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas". They've been criticized as being a shady cabal of wealthy elites coming together and passing information under the table for political gain, so much so it spawned the term "Davos Men", named for their annual meeting place in Davos Switzerland, a term coined to describe billionaires who have no loyalty to any nation and view borders as obstacles to further wealth consolidation.
Schwab seemed to have originally intended the World Economic Forum to become a vector for streamlining economic solutions and introducing American management practices to European manufacturers, but then the Bretton Woods exchange rate collapsed in 1973 and because of that the WEF also became focused on social issues and began inviting politicians, a move I'm sure no one will regret in the indeterminant future. The immediate outcomes was the aversion of a war, bribing the CEO and director of the WEF for $900,000 and somebody passing around "Boycott Israel" pamphlets during one of the meetings.
Even better is that Xi Jingping showed up to defend globalism, followed by portraying China as a leader in environmentalism. Yes, the king of smog came out and called himself an environmentalist. Naturally, Xi Jinping also criticized populism and tariffs because it fucked his bottom line and plans for world domination. Then Jair Bolsonaro, Brazilian president, came out to defend Brazil's treatment of the rain forest, calling his administration a protector of it and basically pulling a Xi Jingping. Basically, the WEF is the place where politicians go to vocally protect their interests.
It should also be noted that the WEF have declared US civil liberties to be obsolete forms of governance, noting China's digital totalitarianism as an example, and have praised China for their bungling of the Covid-19 during the early months of 2020, y'know, where they welded people into their apartments, shuffled people into gas vans, disappeared people in "quarantine zones", packed sick people like sardines into non-hospitals and potentially committed a holocaust against their own civilians and burned the bodies in a giant pile.
Then of course there's the Great Reset project announced late this year by the WEF and the Prince of Wales' Sustainable Markets Initiative. This is the shit we're concerned with, and the origin for the slogan "You will own nothing, and you will be happy." Apparently the Great Reset will be the topic of discussion in January 2021.
The general gist of the Great Reset seems to just be Accelerationist Globalist Socialism, where people forego personal belongings for experiences. I don't even get how these things are mutually exclusive but it disgusts me all the same. It appears that this shit has actually been a long time coming, where it truly started is anyone's guess, but if I were to put on a tinfoil hat, I'd say that Covid-19 was engineered in a lab, "accidentally" released, then passed off as a natural disease and use it as an excuse to artificially crash the economy for the sole purpose of artificially creating yet another Great Reset like that of 1870 to force people into signing away all of their civil liberties for debt forgiveness at which point they can implement a pure-experience "economy" where everything is rented. The catch and release policies of George Floyd riots by democrat governors is probably just one part of pressing the gas pedal to this massive dystopia.

The Great Reset
There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting The Great Reset initiative.
