You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your
credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even
triumph. But not through me.”

Klaus Schwab: Geneva’s unlikeliest revolutionary
https://www.global-geneva.com/genevas-unlikeliest-revolutionary/
Jean Calvin, Lenin and the treacherous Russian nihilist Sergei Nechayev may have been the scariest revolutionaries to haunt Geneva's streets. But a one-time Geneva professor with a vision and a mission to humanize business may have a more benign impact on the 21st century.
Integrity is not much in vogue among men. Folk tales remind us that in all climes and times protean selves accommodate and adjust and learn and are responsive to their environment, their community, the way of their culture. Covid-19 then being so successfully sold globally rests upon absence of integrity. Absence of integrity allows politics the space for Covid-19 hysteria. A striking fact is common sense from day 1 was abandoned by all based on propaganda from China. Another striking fact is the time needed to stoke fear of a deadly illness being spread globally by travel and commerce. Simmering soup coming to a boil a highly lethal respiratory illness globally spread by ill human beings who were without symptoms or who hid the symptoms. Or spread on the surface of bannisters, elevator buttons, door knobs, boxes or food wrapping. On clothing. On masks and plastic gloves.
Joel Kotkin of Claremont writes “Monopolistic control is critical to maintaining the enormous profit margins and unprecedented wealth of the oligarchical class. Now elite corporations can operate with virtual impunity. Rather than a competitive economy, we are seeing the emergence of what Aldous Huxley called “a scientific caste system,” where the highly credentialed and technologically dominant have almost total reign. Tech oligarchs, notes the French socialist economist Thomas Piketty, see themselves not merely as business people but as exemplars whose success serves to “destroy artificial inequalities” while “highlighting natural inequalities. The new aristocracy regards itself as intrinsically more deserving of their wealth and power than the old managerial elites or the grubby corporate speculators. They believe that they are not just creating value but building a better world. These are not just the rich and well-placed but also the elect.
