The end of the Baby Boom age

Every time has its own generation conflict. Generation Z is surging for new ways to organize society. They have grown up in the digital information age. The Baby Boomers are of the book information age.

Information ages are not equal to other time frames but in parallel and heavy influencing other civilization developments. We (humanity) have gone from oral to clay and stone written, to paper, to press and now have landed in the digital data age. The information age is a sub category of this because it also includes the language component.

The digital information age gives Gen-Z another perspective on civilization. This interview with Connor Tomlinson makes this clear. https://youtu.be/Pjh6L0BU5BU?si=0nUF7QwOkvu1eGTG

For me, this is a very hopeful development because the Baby Boom generation made a mess of civilization, I think.

The final disconnection of the USA from the world

Look at this map of the world. And start to understand how the USA is getting more and more disconnected from the world. This map shows the spread of the metric units of measure system in the world in blue. The orange part is where they have their own units of measure. The influence of American English in the world has been big because it in a way continued the British empire. But they (Americans) forget that after Chinese, actual Spanish is the most spoken native language in the world. Language Native speakers (in millions) Language family Branch Mandarin Chinese 990 Sino-Tibetan Sinitic Spanish 484 Indo-European Romance English 390 Indo-European Germanic Hindi 345 Indo-European Indo-Aryan Portuguese 250 Indo-European Romance The USA integrated into the world as a big brother guarding for pease and freedom. But its elites (university graduates) lost the connection with the population and the primary task on an elite, taking care of good public services. As everywhere and always a...

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 should not 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. Progress is all around us, but money is not the system to measure it. The money (capitalist) system is merely a mean, and an obsolete one. Take this video for example. And be cheerful. https://www.epfl.ch/labs/lis/

Why "tax" is becoming an old-fashioned word

The globalization of the past decades will have language consequences in the future. One of them will be the disappearance of the word tax. Its replacement (the modern equivalent) will be public service cost. I explain why: About the randomness of tax Where and what to pay tax for? People in a city environment (modern global society) need good public services and people are willing to pay for it. We (the free world people) require roads; public transport; an education network; a value exchange system (money); electronic communications (internet); air transport hubs (airports) and so on. All necessary for modern life. And all only possible if we work somehow together to maintain them. Three main categories of public services. If you analyze what main types of public services there are, they can be classified into three groups: security-services; network-services and care-services. Security services Security services are needed to prevent threats to have impact. And fight the impact of a...
