Jonathan Harris on Davos, again (I'll keep posting his stuff until you all read it yourself).

Davos could use some children. There is a strange irony in all of this talk about how the future will be while none of it includes the people who will actually be the future. It is like binding the whole world to an arranged marriage that is rational but largely loveless, designed by parents who are simultaneously in control of and out of touch with the times. When you spend your life in private cars and boardrooms, it is hard to know what is happening outside in the street, and it is too dangerous for you to go and see for yourself, because the streets don't have security except for the snipers and the weather can quickly turn nasty.
