A Short Guide to ESG: Philosophical Problems

– January 12, 2022

In addition to Economic Problems and Political Problems, philosophical objections to ESG abound but are rarely addressed by its advocates. Besides largely resting on a pretense of knowledge, which Friedrich Hayek called The Fatal Conceit, parts of the ESG agenda are dehumanizing and amount to little more than justifications for theft. Not only will government-mandated ESG compliance create a poorer world, it will also create a world with less achievement, greater conflict, and the trampling of individuals for the sake of the “collective good.” These are serious charges, so let me make my case in brief.  (See link for article)

_______________

Brief summary:

  1. Plans are often built upon flawed assumptions giving a pretense of knowledge. The longer the chain of reasoning gets, the more precarious the conclusions. Think: the dangers of extrapolation.
  2. Questionable criteria are used to determine if a group is disadvantaged. Advocates of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) want to advance these subjectively defined groups simply for being disadvantaged. This dehumanizes people by allowing some to advance at the expense of others, not be merit or achievement. Conflict with DEI is inevitable and justice is always on the side of the ‘oppressed,’ right or wrong.
  3. Pressuring companies to act in ways at odds with maximizing shareholder value amounts to a kind of theft as it misappropriates what belongs to others.  Klaus Schwab and Larry Fink attempt to direct the capital of others to their favored projects despite the fact the resources do not belong to them. They become deities over others.
Radical climate policy is all about money and power and has nothing to do with the climate.

Go here to learn about the WHO’s dark agenda.

Due to a plan originally called Agenda 21 now titled Agenda 30, hatched at the Earth Summit in 1992, the U.N. is acting on their designed ‘climate crisis’ by ‘secretly working with banks’ to destroy the American food industry. The banks are using the UN’s Marxist “environmental, social, and corporate governance” (ESG) criteria to score and penalize farmers to end private farming to create dependence on a one-world government that will ultimately control the global food supply. This is currently playing out with the grotesque bird flu scam which is another ‘false positive pandemic’ based on faulty testing so they can mass cull chickens which has not only failed, but actually results in chicken to human transmission.

They are hoping we will just eat bugs and be happy.

A Feb. 7, 2024 report found that the climate policies and mandates guided by the ESG agenda (net zero) that is being pushed by the Biden administration carries a hefty increase of 34% for American farmers that will in turn increase the average consumer’s grocery bill by $110 per month or $1,330 annually.

Many of these policies have been tested in Europe, with the researchers of the report concluding that the results there have been an “unmitigated failure.”

As explained in this 1 minute video by MEP Rob Roos:

“People don’t want more climate policy, they want more purchasing power.” ~ MEP Rob Roos

If EU voters stand up to vote in June, 2024, most of the radical climate policies will evaporate which is why the EU commission quickly adopted a 90% CO2 reduction for 2040, while they still can.  Roos’s comment shows that ‘climate change’ policies are about money.

Journalist James Roguski has been warning about the WHO power grab from the beginning.  He highlights:

  1. The WHO scandalously lied about properly adopting amendments to 5 articles of the IHR in 2022. They never bothered to even vote.
  2. The Working Group blatantly violated international law by missing their deadline to officially submit a package of amendments in 1/24.
  3. The WHO negotiations were designed to settle a trade dispute by redirecting tens of billions of dollars towards more drugs and “vaccines.” 

It’s also important to note that the WEF is riding hard for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).  They are now admitting the quiet part out-loud: CBDCs are a necessary precondition to their imagined centralized global utopia, based entirely on pixie dust, which was always the COVID endgame.

Dr. Gerry Grady in his powerful talk, “Utopianism and the COVID Phenomenon,” shows where we are headed if we do not refuse the globalist’s dystopian plan.

Utopia

Jack has just come back to his homeland of Australia after over a decade away in paradise. But after being met at the airport by his brother Frank, Jack discovers that the country has radically changed. Citizens report and fine one another for various civil infractions, using their mobile phones to record and upload offenses to a government app.

This video highlights the EU’s actions that have made it impossible for European farmers to sell their own crops, due to Ukraine’s cheap imported products that may not even meet food safety standards.  The EU’s insistence upon “Net Zero,” and other arbitrary rules that cost farmers have hog-tied them.  As this video points out, “Going Green tends to reduce food availability and increase their costs.” 

Now, the U.N. is ‘secretly working with banks’ to destroy the American food industry.The banks are using the UN’s Marxist “environmental, social, and corporate governance” (ESG) criteria to score and penalize farmers.  From 2020-2022 there were nearly 100 fires in food facilities making some question if we are experiencing food sabotage.
