Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Imagine for a moment that you do not have any unique insights about the future of technology, nor any innovative solutions for the world's chronic economic, medical, demographic, or other challenges. Further, imagine that you have no academic or work-experience credentials that might aid you in finding such insights. Lastly, consider that you have neither the desire nor connections to start on the difficult pathway to achieving power via electoral politics. Nevertheless, you still really want to hold power and get rich in the course of obtaining that power and be recognized as a visionary.
Is that where you find yourself at this moment? It might just be destiny or fate that you are reading this right now.
My friend, the next few paragraphs could change your life. My name is Klaus Schwab and I invite you to The Ultimate GriftTM. Using the specialized knowledge in my course and following a few simple rules can get the life you have always wanted. For example:
Indeed, an estimated 70% of the new value created in the economy over the next decade will be based on digitally enabled platform business models. Emerging technologies and trends like artificial intelligence (AI), data governance, digital trade, digital rights and cyber threats are redefining international relations. * * * Tech diplomacy, both at the bilateral and multilateral levels, goes beyond harnessing the power of technology to forge stronger, more resilient international ties, it also establishes a dialogue on standardized regulations, mutual frameworks, and joint projects that benefit all stakeholders involved.
Notice that there is no specific prediction. There is a cursory, generic description of government actions already happening in the normal course of trade policymaking but no suggestions or specifics about what form or direction the new diplomacy should take. And a subtle inference that good things will be lost if our (non-existent) guidance is not followed. Is it all just empty verbiage? Wrong! We have just taken the lead on a critically important issue. And my course can show you how to do that in any issue context. [You know you want to get right into this solid gold info!]
Want more? Sign up for the full course and get the insider knowledge you will need on topics such as:
Using the media. Learn the importance of the appearance of “special access,” free liquor, and why you need to write the story for them.
Becoming Yoda. Using the lessons from such diverse figures as Elizabeth Holmes, Fidel Castro, David Koresh, and Bernie Madoff you can begin to craft a persona that sells.
Also,
And so much more! What are you waiting for, future global leader?

I listened to an Apple News Podcast narration of an Atlantic mag story today. It concerned a guy who had no technical know-how, and a history of failed businesses, stumbling into an idea for leasing portable solar generators. It fit perfectly into all the Green Initiatives and tax-credit programs. He Ponzi'd up and took corporate America for a billion dollars.
