Some important windows on alternative approaches to the future:
Xi and Putin make the case for win-win vs. zero-sum

Predictably, the two really crucial events at Davos received minimal or non-existent coverage across the wobbly West: the speeches by President Xi and President Putin.
...We have already highlighted Xi’s essentials. The best in-depth analysis of
Putin’s extraordinary speech , hands down, was provided by
Rostislav Ishchenko, whom I had the pleasure to meet in Moscow in 2018.
..Ishchenko stresses how, “in terms of scale and impact on historical processes, this is steeper than the Battles of Stalingrad and Kursk combined.”
..Putin’s very important reference to the ominous 1930s – “the inability and unwillingness to find substantive solutions to problems like this in the 20th century led to World War 2 catastrophe” – was juxtaposed with a common sense warning: the necessity of preventing
the takeover of global policy by Big Tech , which “are de facto competing with states”.
...This drive should be based on two pillars: sovereignty – that is, the good old Westphalian model (and not Great Reset, hyper-concentrated, one world “governance”) and sustainable development propelled by techno-scientific progress (and not techno-feudalism).
..The Xi-Putin road map is already being examined in excruciating detail by Michael Hudson, for instance in this
essay based on the first chapter of his upcoming book Cold War 2.0: The Geopolitical Economics of Finance Capitalism vs. Industrial Capitalism. Many of these themes have been elaborated in a recent
conversation/interview between Michael and myself.
Re: Pretty amazing facts...
Recently read an opinion piece of how QAnon holds onto its subscribers: "Drops" are made that allow the reader to get clues that lead them - like Hansel und Gretel - to conclusions that lead them to having solved "the game." Simply follow the dots and you too can believe Democrats drink the blood of murdered infants. Pretty amazing!

Re: Pretty amazing facts...
I guess I would say to that that Q-anon doesn't 'own' the Hansel and Gretel analogy... rather we all follow the threads in our lives that make sense... and form a picture of our world.
