It's time for part 2 of our look at Ida Auken's essay 'Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.'
It's a weird article that should never have existed. While a lot of it is based on projections from the WEF that include emerging technologies and governmental trends - it reads like a goddamn policy. In reality, it's just a bizarre short story by a Danish MP that sought to warn people of a potential future - but also get herself a bit of attention at the WEF. Classic 'top marks at school' type behaviour.
Anyway now it's the basis for a million conspiracy theories and the 'you'll own nothing and be happy' line is wheeled out by idiots like Ralph Babet and Malcolm Roberts whenever it suits them.
Of course, instead of discussing how they would legislate to limit the possiblity of this dystopian future, they just bitch, moan and carry on like idiots because it makes them popular in dunce circles.
Anyway, we had to cut the first part short cause it was getting super long - go back a couple weeks if you haven't heard part 1 cause it's a direct continuation!
Enjoy!
