Chris Knowles challenges the idea of a perfectly engineered collapse, suggesting that the global elite at the World Economic Forum are often mediocre "spoiled rich kids" making things up as they go. He argues that the complexity of modern information makes it impossible for the establishment to keep secrets, leading to their aggressive targeting of "disinformation." The current system is described as a series of scams following an old Roman playbook.
