Germany at the Crossroads

Germany faces a turning point: high energy costs, industrial decline, and social tensions are eroding trust in the mainstream parties. The AfD has surged to around a third of the vote, echoing Weimar-era patterns of economic frustration and political deadlock. Yet unlike Weimar, today’s Basic Law and EU integration provide stability—but if the “firewall” against the AfD blocks it from power while governing coalitions fail to deliver, frustration will deepen. The Demand for Recognition (DfR) explains this spiral: voters and parties alike want acknowledgment of their role and dignity. A National Renewal Compact, giving each major party visible ownership of key reforms, could stabilize industry, jobs, and democracy—avoiding a slow slide into modern Weimarization.

The Right of the Strong and the Limits of International Law

The United Nations was built to replace “might makes right” with law and diplomacy, yet the Right of the Strong continues to dominate global politics. From U.S. hegemony to Russia’s war in Ukraine, from Trump’s “Gaza Riviera” plan to NATO maneuvers and economic sanctions, the same pattern emerges: power overrides principle when recognition is denied.

Eidoism explains why. At the heart of these conflicts lies the Demand for Recognition (DfR)—the deep human and national drive to be seen, respected, and dignified. International law cannot erase this drive; when recognition is withheld, nations turn to force.

The solution is not a new world policeman, but a new architecture of recognition: balancing dignity between strong and weak, creating prestige currencies beyond war, ritualizing rivalry, and elevating restraint as the ultimate form of strength. Only then can the world move from bullying and humiliation toward lasting peace.

When the Robots Take Your Job

By 2032, machines may be able to do almost everything better and cheaper than people. Work, once the anchor of wages and recognition, could vanish. Governments might keep citizens alive through universal dividends, but survival is not the real crisis — recognition is. Without work or consumption as proof that we matter, people risk falling into despair, extremism, or digital illusions of fame. Yet this crisis also opens a path: to rediscover that “all you need is less” and that true wealth is not in endless goods but in recognition, belonging, and creation. This may be the time of Eidoism.

China’s New World Order

China’s ambition to create a new world order is less about ideology than about recognition. From the dynasties of the past to the People’s Republic today, China has sought to transform power into dignity — never again to suffer humiliation. Its military modernization, global trade dominance, and Belt and Road infrastructure are not mere strategies; they are materialized forms of face. Yet this reflex meets America’s own Demand for Recognition, creating a trap where each move for respect is read as an insult by the other. History shows that China fights limited wars for symbolic status, not open conquest. But external triggers — a Taiwanese declaration of independence or a sudden U.S. technological leap — could tip both powers into direct confrontation. The struggle is not only about territory but about dignity itself, and unless recognition is consciously redefined, the world risks drifting into conflict by reflex.

Europe & Germany at a Crossroads

Europe and Germany are entering a decisive decade where energy shocks, industrial decline, and rising NATO defence commitments collide. The EU’s post-2022 pivot away from Russian gas has left industry exposed to higher energy costs, while Germany’s industrial backbone faces relocation and retrenchment. At the same time, NATO’s new 5% of GDP spending pledge forces unprecedented fiscal choices that risk crowding out pensions, healthcare, and social stability. Whether Europe strengthens its competitiveness and integrates defence spending efficiently—or slides into deindustrialization and political unrest—will define its role in the global order to 2045.

Europe’s Industrial Decline and Energy Disruption (2025–2045)

Europe’s industrial core, long anchored by Germany, is entering a period of structural decline driven by energy disruption and global competition. The loss of cheap Russian gas, persistently high electricity costs, and deindustrialization trends are undermining the continent’s manufacturing base—from chemicals and steel to automobiles. Germany, once the powerhouse of European industry, now faces shrinking output, offshored investment, and the erosion of its post–Cold War economic model. Without bold policy to secure affordable energy, integrate markets, and support strategic sectors, Europe risks a future of stagnation, social unrest, and diminished global influence.

Future of Russian-Chinese Relations within BRICS

The future of Russian-Chinese relations within BRICS is defined by a strategic convergence: Russia’s pivot eastward after the rupture with Europe and China’s ambition to re-shape global governance. Energy trade, technology cooperation, and financial integration are binding the two powers into a pragmatic partnership, even as underlying asymmetries and competing interests remain. Within BRICS, their coordination strengthens calls for a multipolar world order and accelerates the bloc’s expansion into new markets. Yet the partnership is not without limits—dependence, mistrust, and global headwinds could expose fault lines. The next two decades will test whether BRICS becomes a cohesive platform for alternative global leadership, or merely a loose forum shaped by shifting national priorities.

The Real Killer Behind AI: The Human Brain

Artificial Intelligence is not the apocalypse—the human brain is. Every AI system is shaped by the Demand for Recognition, the hidden driver that pushes nations, leaders, and prophets to ignore risks in pursuit of prestige. Military AI is not only a weapon; it is a mirror, reflecting our madness. Unless we recognize the mechanism within ourselves, AI will not save us—it will amplify the spiral that leads to our own extinction.

Why Recognition Rules the World

Modern society is built on an invisible law: the Demand for Recognition. Elites—political leaders, financial warriors, corporate deal makers—seek recognition through dominance. The masses, though equally bound by the same drive, find it in obedience and belonging. Together they form an unequal exchange where recognition outweighs reason, justice, and even survival. Eidoism reveals this hidden architecture, showing why humanity repeatedly sacrifices its future for prestige, loyalty, and power. Awareness of this mechanism is the first step toward freedom.

The Real Enemy in Gaza

The Gaza conflict is not unsolved because leaders lack clever plans, but because human brains are wired to turn every plan into a battlefield for dignity. Israel and the U.S. want closure through decisive control, Hamas thrives on endless struggle, international do-gooders seek moral recognition, and the Palestinian people remain victims caught between these forces. The hidden mechanism is the Demand for Recognition (DfR) — an unconscious neural bias that bends every prediction of “what to do next” toward preserving pride and avoiding humiliation. As long as DfR drives decision-making, Gaza will remain trapped in a cycle of violence, where strength creates erasure, resistance creates survival, and peace is always postponed.

A 2.5-Billion-Ton Spaceship

The Chrysalis spaceship, imagined as a 2.5-billion-ton ark for 2,400 chosen people, is not a project of science but of psychology. Far from being a realistic plan to secure humanity’s future, it is a monument to vanity and recognition—a modern cathedral built in orbit. The absurd cost of lifting such mass into space would consume the very resources that could sustain billions on Earth. In truth, Project Hyperion reveals less about our survival instincts than about our endless need to dream of immortality, even in the emptiness of space.
