Urban planners intend to hardwire 5G into the fabric of smart cities in order to achieve maximum efficiency, environmental sustainability and cost savings. Sensors everywhere will collect real-time data on everything that moves or functions, providing real-time modeling with artificial intelligent algorithms.
Technology-driven Smart City dogma invaded World Urban Forum 9 in Kuala Lampur and delivered mostly empty rhetoric. Technology is rightly likened to a Ponzi scheme that will ultimately result in the collapse of cities and societies.
Men and women are approximately equal in population, and their fates are completely intertwined. How can anyone come to the logical conclusion that women have the short end of the stick on climate change? Answer: They don't! UN ideologues treat men and women as different races, hoping to spur division and conflict, but they are NOT different races.
The Chinese are very clever to weaponize capital in order to achieve devious ends. In this case, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) funds selected academic institutions or projects in order to coerce them into self-censorship according to Chinese policies. Congress should block such funding.
Lab-produced milk will soon become a ubiquitous part of the food chain without labeling requirements because it is already declared to be GMO-fee. However, the yeast that makes the milk proteins is tricked into doing so because of clever genetic modification. There is no guarantee that the resulting milk protein is 100% identical to a cow's milk.
The fourth and fifth requirements of Technocracy as declared in 1934 are, "Provide a specific registration of the type, kind, etc., of all goods and services, where produced and where used." and "Provide specific registration of the consumption of each individual, plus a record and description of the individual." [Scott, Howard et al, Technocracy Study Course, p. 232
As the U.N. drives people into the cities, proposing to micro-managin them like herds of cattle, nobody challenges people like Figueres with the fact that cities are the very engines of pollution and not saviors from it. Technocrats will bend science to any degree to make their 'solutions' fit.
Saudi Arabia is growing into a Technocracy where everything is driven toward Sustainable Development. NEOM promises to be the largest Technate in the world, 33 times the size of New York and built from the ground up as a micro-managed and engineered Smart City.
Technocrat scientists are bent on transforming the food system of the entire planet, using science-based solutions, in this case, lab-grown meat. Cattle ranchers are attempting to stop the threat against them before it takes hold.
Technocrat Smart City architects are turning to AI and systems-theory to automate property zoning. Dr. Parag Khanna was right when he said the 'globalization is the system'.
