I’ve caught up on the thread a little and see now you are referencing some imaginary distinction between him being at the WEF saying this (the OP) and him being an official spokesman of the WEF?


Context matters. Just because you're downplaying it by making a mistake earlier doesn't invalidate the importance.

Fringe as they may seem, people would be right in their concern over hearing ideas like this in such an esteemed setting.

The left has a unique talent for bringing fringe ideas into the mainstream. Transitioning children, censoring political speech, and open borders to name a few…

At the WEF

Nob by the WEF


That’s what the WEF is. When I read the OP, I didn’t assume that this was an official position being pushed by the WEF. In fact, I don’t even know if that occurs.

Seems like you are the one who assumed something.

Often seems that way. Or is that just shtick and entertainment? Or something else?

I truly don't know what he believes or doesn't believe (and neither does he -- other than, "If I don't believe it, it needs context", or, "Meh, it's a "'CT'").

People who are ignorant of the WEF but believe irrational projections would say something like this.

People who understand what the WEF actually is laughs at you, though

What if Stephen Miller went to the WEF and hypothesized about putting ticks in tacos? Would the centrists still be here being all centristy?

This is where you lose most people here. For some reason you make assumptions on the side of the leftist.

Most of the time you have to pay to get in these positions to promote yourself.

You almost figured it out.

If the WEF has someone with these thoughts on stage repeatedly, over a significant period of time, I see that as a promotion of those thoughts. Most would agree that this is a very logical thought process.

How else would you respond to idiotic conspiracy theories?

Look, we can workshop this to educate you.

How do you respond?

Then he'd be criticized for saying dumb shite like he does often outside of the WEF setting, without need to reference the WEF, like this bioethicist.

What does assuming he didn't pay for his WEF slot and had his school/org pay for it "Leftist" in any way?

He’d be criticized alright.

And you wouldn’t be here context policing the forum on his behalf. We all know it.

Now carry on with your foolishness.

When have I ever referenced the forum of Stephen Miller saying stupid stuff?

Like with this bioethicist, I criticize the output, not the setting.

The question is why so many people can't do that.

Right. Hence my Stephen Miller comparison. He’ll just explain his one-sidedness away by criticizing the political leanings of the forum.

This is fair. I’m not saying people shouldn’t react strongly to the idea - it IS unsettling. Lumping all "fringe --> mainstream" pathways together makes it harder to tell which worries deserve sustained attention and which burn hot but can’t actually move. SFP is saying that in his own way.

I agree - venue matters and people notice patterns in how ideas travel from fringe to mainstream. That’s a reasonable instinct. Where I think things get fuzzy is that your examples aren’t all the same kind of transition. Some are expansions of individual choice or speech norms, some are border policy debates, and this idea would be a direct, coercive biomedical intervention. Those trigger very different veto points.

Maybe the useful question isn’t “has the left mainstreamed fringe ideas before?” but “what conditions have to be present for a fringe idea to cross from talk --> policy --> coercion?

In this case you’d need legal authority, medical buy-in, regulatory approval, enforcement mechanisms, and public tolerance - all at once. That’s a much higher bar than shifting norms around speech or identity.
