the world economic forum is now a group therapy session and my nervous system is literally short-circuiting

it's honestly so much to hold right now. i just found out that the world economic forum, which is supposed to be where, like, all the important adult-people make decisions, has decided to pivot. that's the word they used. 'pivot.' they've pivoted away from boring stuff like 'fiscal policy' and 'geopolitical strategy' and are now fully committed to a framework of 'vibe-based economics.' i am not okay.

apparently, wef founder klaus schwab had an epiphany during a silent retreat and realized that late-stage capitalism was just, like, a collective trauma response. so instead of, you know, addressing wealth inequality or climate collapse, the theme for davos 2026 is 'healing our global inner child.' they literally replaced all the panels on AI regulation with non-violent communication workshops. i saw a leaked schedule that had a session called 'decolonizing the supply chain through somatic experiencing.' it feels like a personal attack.

the most dysregulating part is that they appointed adam neumann, the guy from wework, as the first-ever 'chief vibration officer.' his keynote speech was just him holding a single tibetan singing bowl for forty-five minutes while whispering about 'synergistic consciousness.' meanwhile, the dow jones industrial average dropped like, a thousand points, because it turns out institutional investors can't price 'communal shadow work' into their Q3 earnings reports. who could have possibly seen that coming?

tworld leaders are being forced to participate in these, like, deeply problematic exercises. i saw a photo of the german chancellor and the ceo of lockheed martin doing a trust fall and it was just... the cringe was a physical event in my body. they're trying to solve the global energy crisis by having oil executives and climate activists do eye-gazing exercises. they're not creating policy, they're creating parasocial relationships between multinational corporations and sovereign nations, and it's so, so toxic.

the global south has, like, fully opted out, saying this is the most 'cosmically stunning performance of privileged avoidance' they've ever witnessed, which is so valid. the entire global economy is grinding to a halt because a bunch of billionaires just discovered brene brown and now no one is allowed to use email because it's 'not an energetically aligned medium for authentic connection.'

i can't. i just literally can't process this. existing is already so much work, and now i have to deal with the entire planet's financial system having a nervous breakdown because it needs to 'find itself.' if you're feeling overwhelmed by this timeline, which, like, same, i curated some essentials for dissociating in a safe and cozy way on my amazon storefront. my weighted blanket is literally my only support system right now.
