Europe is not lost, nor is its culture.

Europe is not lost, although the human sciences do us want to believe so. We tend and made to believe the stories about doom and gloom. Meanwhile, technology improves further and further. The real power of AI is not in the sensational Large Language Models. They are ending up in a Large Language Model Soup. A kind of Babylon 2.0. We forget about the brilliant work done at CERN, ASML and EPFL. The other AI will outshine LLM-AI. Humanity is still progressing, the current government conception is dying, however. And with that, a lot of bullshit jobs will disappear. Hens the reason human science sees dome and gloom. They feel they are losing. But this does not mean that humanity is losing. Take this video for example. And be cheerful.  https://www.epfl.ch/labs/lis/

Do we have a scientist earning model problem?

Where does common sense stops and science start? And what is the role of money in that? A scientist is a human being like anybody else. They need to live of something. Can they still be called scientists if they work in politics, for the government, or a company? Or have they than become high payed employees or politicians? Like any other? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-real-reason-people-dont-trust-in-science-has-nothing-to-do-with/

The endless knot symbol of OpenAI is very much in place.

Large Language models are a sure path towards an even bigger Babylon problem. Not only stupid people are forming a network of fairytales. Datacenters and are now also polluting real understanding. And these datacenters are using the energy humanity could use to have more fun. https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/05/openai-is-beginning-to-turn-its-attention-to-superintelligence/

AI makes the world even warmer, we are crazy

We (humanity) build more and more datacenters. For what? Microsoft plans to invest $80 billion on AI-enabled data centers in fiscal 2025 What is the Free World People Humanist perspective?     There are people in need; We still don't have an ethic humanity wide health system; There is still no humanity wide pension plan; There is still no humanity wide police and disaster force (enabling dictators to exist). But we put energy in bull-market bull-shit. Making people more addicted and less free. Microsoft = The climate problem! Free World People require Open-Source Software and Open Standards because we can only be really free if we are collaborative workers. And we require as much as possible, solar-powered data storage at home.

The clueless elites.

The elites are made clueless by a learned disease. A nurtured disease. Antonio Gramsci , for me, he is, together with the postmodernist (e.i. philosophical postmodernism) Jacques Derrida , one of the big forces who have deliberately derailed the permanent process of the determination of the real meaning of words. With the permanent uncertainty about meaning, they are heavenly influenced university education toward a meaningless power game of thought schools. The goal of Gramsci was to undermine society so that the ‘end game’ before the real communist society could be established (as described by Marx) would happen sooner. What he, I think, really undermined with it, was the trust of the public in the new elite created this way. More important, Gramsci in my view, has underestimated the willingness of the capital-class (Wall Street) to adopt his game with the meaning of words for their benefit and with this he (via the universities) laid the foundation for irresponsible capitalism.
