Context: The World Economic Forum is founded and run by a German billionaire who literally looks like a Bond villain.

Edit: checked and the story is from 2016, but he's been especially on about this shit since the plague started up. Coincidence?

Article. Most interesting part in my opinion:

My biggest concern is all the people who do not live in our city. Those we lost on the way. Those who decided that it became too much, all this technology. Those who felt obsolete and useless when robots and AI took over big parts of our jobs. Those who got upset with the political system and turned against it. They live different kind of lives outside of the city. Some have formed little self-supplying communities. Others just stayed in the empty and abandoned houses in small 19th century villages.

I will proudly be one of those left behind they fake concern about. Even if I fail to make it work, I'd get the chance to try. Living in their "matrix" with no goals and no purpose would essentially be the same as death to me.

Same, but you know if they get their utopia they'll never leave the outsiders alone.
