It begs the question, which type of blogger are you?

This shit is a hobby, I would never blog about my business.

it would sound like sour grapes to agree with you so I won’t put my real name on this comment but I agree with you.

They went for the Swiss. They went for the ride. They went for the cheese, the mountains and pride. They went for the world, to be famous, to flirt. They went to keep up, because Europe still works. They went to feel wanted. They went for Bill Gates. They went for Swiss watches and exuberant rates. They went for the friendship, the midnight encounters. They went seeking knowledge, an iota of truth. They went for Karl Popper, Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes. They went for game theory and the world at their knees. They went cos they can and that’s what they do. They went to cross borders. They went to be true. They went for the goats and the rumours of treasure. They went cos we sent them, and we’re the source of their gain. They went to be loved, to love others without shame. But they went most of all, after all said and done, after carbon considerations, footprints in snow, after hand shakes, cigars and wise men to heed, after months in the Bay fueled by greed, they went for the money, for the money they must go.

Andrew,
Finally some writing from the writer. A perfect paragraph.
By Loren Feldman on Jan 23, 2008
Would like to adjust that last line to:
they went for the money, for the money they must go.

Andrew
I made the change.

Oh please, economists are the biggest hacks of all. And so much more for actually being legitimized as a profession and (god forbid) a science.
At least the Scobles of the world are not getting Nobel prizes for being completely ineffectual.

It’s obvious that Davos has lost any trace of relevance by pandering to pop culture perceptions of “how to improve the state of the world”. Davos has been YouTubized into abject impertinence. What comes out of it is essentially empty, self serving, sophomoric,sanctimonious blab, thus the bloggers are actually the ones who belong there. It’s the Hamid Karzai and Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Shimon Peres types who should be doing more useful and important things with their time then attending a dumbed-down version of what was once a meaningful event.
As we all now know, The World Economic forum has been dismally ineffective in “striving towards a world-class corporate governance system where values are as important a basis as rules” The global economic train wreck that’s happening right now is proof.
BTW, they should really try to book Perez Hilton for next year’s meeting.

By Benny on Jan 23, 2008

I was expecting better this time Loren, you are really disappointing.
I like you Loren but your quality really varies a lot from a video to another. This one just expresses pure jealousy, it’s not even funny.
Come on, you can do better !
By Loic on Feb 2, 2008
Loic,
What the fuck do you know about quality? You dont even understand half the shit I’m talking about. Quality, look at seesmic, I’m not jealous you dope. A shallow dude like you would think that. The forum used to mean something get it? It used to be important. I have no reason or desire to be there you fucking idiot. It used to be for people involved in finance thinking about the worlds greater good. If you had any fucking brains youd be ashamed for walking around like a dope in a place where you have nothing to contribute to. Get it? Nah you probably don’t do you.
