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/
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/
