General lack of wisdom in science will doom humanity. John Ralston Saul has long ago elaborated on this in his book Voltaire’s Bastards. Scientists have no mechanisms to slow them down, to question the wisdom of their developments. They are as stupid and full of hubris as Icarus. Add to this the incendiary mixture from billionaires’ technophilia, and the new religion of “scientism” and the outcome is a certainty. I’d like to be wrong and I hope I am wrong, but I think the current velocity of awakening among the plebes is insufficient to save us. Enjoy the last days of Humanity. Perhaps Providence will intervene, but I am reminded of the “God helps those who help themselves”; we seem utterly unaware we need help.

Interesting to note that "Voltaire's Bastards" is dedicated to none other than Maurice Strong, the Rockefeller protege, mentor to Klaus Schwab, and godfather of the CFR/UN/WEF "sustainable development" project: archive.org/details/voltairesbastard00saul_0/page/n7/mode/2up

"[Strong] was my mentor since the creation of the Forum: a great friend; an indispensable advisor; and, for many years, a member of our Foundation Board. Without him, the Forum would not have achieved its present significance." weforum.org/agenda/2015/11/maurice-strong-an-appreciation

Yes, we can’t fully trust anyone these days even when what they write resonates as truth within us. Their aim may not be what we think it is. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Maurice Strong was a key criminal technocratic Malthusian. I didn’t remember this inconvenient tidbit.

It was interesting, thanks. Perhaps his later book "The Collapse of Globalism" (2005) is also worth a look. I wonder what he would say about Maurice Strong and Klaus Schwab today, who were such key promoters of the present "liberal-fascist" system which dominates the west.

John R. Saul, an Oxford graduate, served as "special assistant" to Maurice Strong, founding chairman of Crown corporation Petro Canada in the late 1970s: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ralston_Saul

Saul was also the "Viceregal consort of Canada" in the early 2000s, married to the Queen's own Governor General, which puts him squarely in the category of "loyal servants": www.gg.ca/en/governor-general/former-governors-general/adrienne-clarkson/john-ralston-saul

I've never realized he was such an insider.

I believe there is a lot of this and having so many connections within the larger web of contacts is near impossible to see all of. Hidden within the enormity of it all, we may never know the full extent.
