The links I've posted are not talks...
Show me where the Government of Canada has actual agreements with TED to enact, decide or orientate policy.
> Therefore: the WEF has "infiltrated" governments around the world.
My source is the head of the WEF.
> Important people show up at Davos because it's a networking event
This doesn't make sense, important people do not need networking events, the are already public figures.

You're making a straw man argument, I didn't say that.
- tptacek 4y agoIf the head of the TED Talks organization claimed he had infiltrated world governments, I'd take it equivalently seriously.
- TeeMassive 4y agoThe head of TED doesn't invite government officials around the world every year to make official agreements on policy.
- tptacek 4y agoCitation needed. Matthew Yglesias probably has more impact on policy than the WEF does. That's not a compliment to Yglesias.
