Last year’s Global Risks Report warned of a world that would not easily rebound from continued shocks. As 2024 begins, the 19th edition of the report is set against a backdrop of rapidly accelerating technological change and economic uncertainty, as the world is plagued by a duo of dangerous crises: climate and conflict.
Underlying geopolitical tensions combined with the eruption of active hostilities in multiple regions is contributing to an unstable global order characterized by polarizing narratives, eroding trust and insecurity. At the same time, countries are grappling with the impacts of record-breaking extreme weather, as climate-change adaptation efforts and resources fall short of the type, scale and intensity of climate-related events already taking place. Cost-of-living pressures continue to bite, amidst persistently elevated inflation and interest rates and continued economic uncertainty in much of the world. Despondent headlines are borderless, shared regularly and widely, and a sense of frustration at the status quo is increasingly palpable. Together, this leaves ample room for accelerating risks – like misinformation and disinformation – to propagate in societies that have already been politically and economically weakened in recent years.
Just as natural ecosystems can be pushed to the limit and become something fundamentally new; such systemic shifts are also taking place across other spheres: geostrategic, demographic and technological. This year, we explore the rise of global risks against the backdrop of these “structural forces” as well as the tectonic clashes between them. The next set of global conditions may not necessarily be better or worse than the last, but the transition will not be an easy one.
The report explores the global risk landscape in this phase of transition and governance systems being stretched beyond their limit. It analyses the most severe perceived risks to economies and societies over two and 10 years, in the context of these influential forces. Could we catapult to a 3◦C world as the impacts of climate change intrinsically rewrite the planet? Have we reached the peak of human development for large parts of the global population, given deteriorating debt and geo-economic conditions? Could we face an explosion of criminality and corruption that feeds on more fragile states and more vulnerable populations? Will an “arms race” in experimental technologies present existential threats to humanity?
These transnational risks will become harder to handle as global cooperation erodes. In this year’s Global Risks Perception Survey, two-thirds of respondents predict that a multipolar order will dominate in the next 10 years, as middle and great powers set and enforce – but also contest – current rules and norms. The report considers the implications of this fragmented world, where preparedness for global risks is ever more critical but is hindered by lack of consensus and cooperation. It also presents a conceptual framework for addressing global risks, identifying the scope for “minimum viable effort” for action, depending on the nature of the risk.
The insights in this report are underpinned by nearly two decades of original data on global risk perception. The report highlights the findings from our annual Global Risks Perception Survey, which brings together the collective intelligence of nearly 1,500 global leaders across academia, business, government, the international community and civil society. It also leverages insights from over 200 thematic experts, including the risk specialists that form the Global Risks Report Advisory Board, Global Future Council on Complex Risks, and the Chief Risk Officers Community. We are also deeply grateful to our long-standing partners, Marsh McLennan and Zurich Insurance Group, for their invaluable contributions in shaping the themes and narrative of the report. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to the core team that developed this report – Ellissa Cavaciuti-Wishart, Sophie Heading and Kevin Kohler – and to Ricky Li and Attilio Di Battista for their support.
The future is not fixed. A multiplicity of different futures is conceivable over the next decade. Although this drives uncertainty in the short term, it also allows room for hope. Alongside global risks and the era-defining changes underway lie unique opportunities to rebuild trust, optimism and resilience in our institutions and societies. It is our hope that the report serves as a vital call to action for open and constructive dialogue among leaders of government, business and civil society to take action to minimize global risks and build upon long-term opportunities and solutions.
“Upholding the illusion of upward social mobility.”
“Inequality tends to cement itself”
All Men are Created Equal versus “Obama’s equality of opportunity.
“What came first, religion or wealth inequality?”
Obama: “…effort and merit…” and he’s the we that “…strives to deliver equal opportunity”
I guess the latter means Obama “got” 1000 UBI
Capitalism, Industrialization, Democratization, Mass Education “make no difference in upward social mobility”
I think we just split the D atom.“The belief we live in a meritocratic society…” is “life’s illusions I recall, I really don’t know life at all” deliberately pulling the wool over our eyes

(Also, by omission: banking system, bonds, deficits, overleveraging, bankruptcies)I can tell ya, I’ve worked for bosses who were there on merit and those who were not. I’ve worked with coworkers who were there on merit and those who were not.
First of course, working with low/no merit people is torture. But putting that aside…
Whatever product or service that was supposed to happen is relatively shitty/good and more/less based on the competence of the leader and the team members. The real world results are unavoidable. Even when managers refuse to measure them. Either there’s the stuff or there isn’t Either it is good or it is shitty.
At my new job, the latest HR lady we heard from in zoom enthused about how she is super, super into horoscopes and “anything tarot.” And baking.
wtf. Just should have stayed in church then. Catholic or orthodox has all the trimmings and iconography if you need magic and stuff. Probably equally enthused about chakras or taoism. Anything exotic and not YOUR people or your culture. What’s virtuous? Not-YOU.
Always this trinity – leftism, postmodernist deconstructionism, and superstition/occult.
Just like there are no atheists in foxholes, apparently there are no atheists in leftism.
As long as people are being put in positions of power who mentally believe in a whirling vortex of only partly-understood disparate contradictory superstitions in a safe, consequence-free environment (for them) I see no potential problems. If tarot be the food of personnel management, play on.

I remember, 30 yrs ago doing a Self Evaluation and scoring myself 100% and having mgt contesting it.
Today, I Googled “Self Evaluation forms”. I would still get 100% and mgt would still object.“I wasn’t prepares for it”.
Jay Bhattacharya Stanford Prof receives big award.It being the unwelcomed yet, yet-to-be-denied notoriety for his “stance” on COVID.
Hell, even D shares something affirmative with me. We were way ahead of Dr. Jay.
F*ck Jay Bhattacharya and his award until the following two things happen:
1. Dr. J is reduced to total anonymity, deplatformed from all useful online venues and reduced to entry level employment back in india
2. Me and Dr. John Day and others similarly mistreated for being right are given back pay, reemployed in our previous positions and made whole in our professional reputationsStanford doctor hailed as ‘intellectual freedom’ leader for challenging gov’t on COVID-19
Thankyou for the page one posts those darn kids.
poppie: “It wont be fixed until its looses to another system.” – (In progress)Meritocracy, the lie one tells themself as they wipe the brown stain from their nose. There is the Peter Principle and there is The Sphincter Principle. The Peter Sphincter Principle, the level one reaches when their ability to kiss ass reaches it’s zenith and the level of incompetency has been reached. Call me on that one.
Trump and Iran, look at all the winning the West has done since Januray 3, 2020. Buckle up the seat belt in your coaster car and prepare for the post September 27, 2024 plunge. viv a vis Trump and Iran, one party seems to hold the edge on terror.
Thankyou zerosum for the links to MOA.

you’re the only Doctors I trust – because you’re the only real doctors
several pillars hold up our world — the honor and integrity of journalists, lawyers, doctors, priests. (as defined within their professions)
Their particular oaths of honor and keeping those oaths. There is no real western civilization without them.
Jew understand the Goyim. The reverse is not true because they control the indoctrination, Alcohol, drugs, porn, gambling, sport, tv, movies, phones…..anything at all to keep you from quiet thinking and understanding who, exactly, is fucking you in the ass. You’re too schooled to think, craniums crammed with jew bullshit and lies, you follow their politics and expect different results. They want you dead and replaced with compliant mudpeople. How, in the name of Christ, can you not comprehend what’s happening right in front of you? 5 billion people, injected. The ramifications only beginning. You won’t be talking or voting your way out of any of this.
Edward Snowden as Director of the National Security Agency.
PCR is either an idiot or is bonkers. He wants to appoint a totaly inexperienced person as the top manager of a security agency? Someone who is a coder and has never managed any department or anything bigger than a team, and then did not manage the finances; the real stuff. He will be eaten alive by the political animals around him, either the ones originally there under Biden or their replacements.
Ukraine invading Krusk proves it is easy to enter Russia.
However, Ukraine is finding it difficult to leave Russia!Russia is quite happy to let Ukraine stay in Kursk.
That means no peace negotiations!On the Ukrainian side they found a way to feed their best Nazis into the frontline meat grinder.
Ordinary Ukrainian soldiers can now retreat without being shot in the back.So Krusk has ironically worked out well for both sides.
The Middle East is Working Out Well too.
Since it is impossible to stop the warmongering neocons, the only way to deal with them is to let them try.
The warmongers have now successfully screwed up every goal they set out to achieve!
Nobody could have planned their failure faster or ɓetter than they can!
Maybe we should be glad they are so incompetent.The sad part are all the innocent dead people the warmongering neocons kill, to prove their incompetence.
The west has tried to fight it’s wars using expensive hard to produce weapons against an enemy using simplier and less expensive but effective weapons. Not a good strategy. $$$$$$ vs $$.
The warmongering neocons have successfully proven for all to see, how ineffective and obsolete their armies, navies, and air forces are!
Warmongering Neocons meet Reality!

Israeli military confirms Iran assault finished
The Israeli military has “completed the Israeli response to Iran’s attacks against Israel”, according to Israel’s military spokesperson Daniel Hagari.“We carried out targeted and precise attacks against military targets in Iran – and thwarted immediate threats to the State of Israel,” he said in a post on X.
Hagari said that if Iran carries out retaliatory strikes, Israel will be “obligated to respond”.
” You’re too schooled to think, craniums crammed with jew bullshit and lies, you follow their politics”
Am I though?
“Trump, Harris, Stein …. your choice is Jew, Jew or Jew.”
All Jews are Jews. All not-Jews are also Jews. Therefore, All people are Jews.
Conclusion: Jews, being defined as all people, are running everything. Any questions? MossadBot of the Day.
