PM Paetongtarn Named Young Global Leader 2025 by World Economic Forum

[cmsally]

As far as we know WEF is funded by large global corporations. So as it stands, this is essentially meddling by the global private sector in government affairs worldwide. Elected government officials should be accountable to their electorate and not to a number of private global enterprises. The WEF is essentially forwarding the concept of corporate communism, where business elites worldwide have power over the masses without being confined by any national borders.

Why do you assume I don't know? I've read the Great Reset, have you?

 

 

The Young Leaders program is a 3 year study program intended for society's  leaders and under the age of 40.

It  provides educational tools, specialized seminars, access to  the world's leading academics and  a secure  forum  where participants can discuss their problems and  successes without  their being spied on or ridiculed or  criticized for  asking questions  of others.

 

I doubt you actually read the "Great Reset" program. What you probably read were the Russian authored and circulated conspiracy claims. Even the Trump campaign has borrowed some of the  ideas of the "Great Reset" with the suggestions to reduce government regulations and to build back stronger. There is valid criticism of the proposal  saying that it is nothing more than  a recycling of previous proposals that was given a catchy name. Recommending  local resilience and  having local food  supplies is hardly  revolutionary.

You make a lot of assumptions.

What's your problem with the private sector's  funding of the activities? It's nice that the governments don't have to  pay for this. Are you anti business? Perhaps a commie? You too can join. https://www.weforum.org/join-us/pricing/

How is it meddling? Have you ever read the documentation? Swiss Re  does a risk management report, Zurich Insurance  prepares a report on natural catastrophes on the costs to society. Other companies participate in education and training need planning.  You are regurgitating the nonsensical conspiracy claims that are unfounded.

 

The issues discussed impact everyone. You object to  commercial enterprises acting in a responsible manner. The participating companies have a moral obligation and a duty to their shareholders to participate. look at the topics discussed this year at the Davos summit;

- How to improve innovation and technology

- How to better invest in people through training and education and to give young people  more opportunity.

- The Chief Economists Outlook for trends in 2025

-  Responsible guardianship of the planet - the balancing of profit and human needs with conservation, and sustainable development.

- Rebuilding Trust in civil society institutions and  in the  business world.

- The impact of AI

 

None of the above is controversial,

I just wonder how much they paid for this prestigious award. 

 

it really isn't an award. It is an invitation to participate in a sponsored continuing education program. More like a scholarship.

Remember when the left universally decried dynasties such as the Bush family?

 

Now, as shown in this thread, they champion them.

You have missed a few but if Thailand gets in that crew it is domed. Did Taksin attend the latest Forum, unlike many that are covering their As from previous attendances.

GF, correct I did miss some.I'm an old dog and happy I had the pleasure of living in the world without these " Young Global Leaders"

I literally read The Great Reset book. You should stop making assumptions about stuff you clearly have no idea about. Your ego level is astounding.

That's nice that you refer to a discussion paper from 5 years ago.  Lots of think tanks and interest groups propose things too. Governments everywhere have white papers and policy papers that contribute to policy discussions. It is called  forward thinking and planning. 

There is nothing controversial in the concept of  supply chain resilience. All of the western countries learned a very expensive and hard lesson during Covid when they found out that they were dependent on PPE sourced from China. Almost every western country has adopted some of the proposed improvements. The US government wants to repatriate industrial capacity. So do Australia, UK, Canada, France and most other western governments.

 

However, you are off on a conspiracy nutter fueled tangent of conspiracies because the paper has nothing to do  with the  Young Leaders  skill and educational opportunity.  What is wrong with the PM of Thailand being  provided with a forum where she can discuss strategies and  methodologies?  The concept is used by corporate and institutional  boards worldwide. It runs the gamut from training CEOS to educating board members in their responsibilities and duties as board members and of  compliance  and fiduciary obligations. Because you do not understand, you lash out and criticize.

You may have "read", but whether you understood the content and its context is another matter.

Bro, shut up and just stop. You thought I was talking about a russian written conspiracy, you have no right to act like you're an intellectual superior.

If they can extend Sonkran festivities for a week...  then it makes all the sense that they still believe April Fools Day applies all month long !
