AI hasn’t turned “evil” … It has become normal. AI was adopted faster than the internet itself but without commensurate ethics, culture, or safeguards. Convenience has been sold as progress, personalization as insight, and automation as liberation — all while we quietly relinquish effort, judgment, responsibility, and the process of creative friction.

With the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, we entered the Intelligence Revolution — yet we keep defining success based on 20th-century metrics. In 2025, technology followed geopolitics. Instead of shared governance, guardrails and collective progress, we got more digital empires — and unaccountable AI billionaires running $4 Trillion tech companies. The Internet as we knew it is being absorbed by AI. We’re shrinking human experience into something machines can easily parse, while human complexity is derided as inefficiency. When humans behave like machines, machines don't just take their jobs. They redefine their values — and then they become 'digital humans'

When profit, growth and power remain the only goal, People become resources to be 'fracked' and mined, Nature becomes a mere input variable (extraction instead of creation), Politics are reduced to showmanship and deal-making, Power replaces responsibility and might makes right.

The Good Future doesn’t vanish in times of crisis. It evolves. What has changed is not the need for it, but where it can be credibly built. It is no longer shaped by what happens in a visibly dysfunctional United States—and this assessment goes far beyond any single administration. The Good Future will not be made in the USA. It will emerge everywhere else, but its moral center must be Europe, working alongside new partners—including the BRICS countries, Canada, Africa, South Korea, Australia/New Zealand, and yes, China (more on that soon).

The Bad Future is not inevitable. It is optional. Pessimism didn’t protect us. Optimism without action wasn’t enough - I should know! And neutrality enabled the worst outcomes. We didn’t resist. We didn’t decide. We simply clicked “Accept.”

Europe must now disengage from the U.S. trajectory toward the Bad Future. Not quietly—but deliberately, visibly, and unapologetically. Europe must resist it, reject it, and stop supporting, promoting, or financing those who advance it. This is the moment to reclaim human agency, restore purpose, and lead—not by dominance, but by values.

This is not idealism - It's a survival strategy. Because if Europe doesn't do it — no one will.
