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.

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 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.

The Perception of Threat

This essay challenges mainstream perceptions of Russia as an existential threat to Germany by uncovering the psychological and structural mechanisms behind modern geopolitical tension. It explores how recognition-seeking behavior among political and military actors—amplified through delegation and media—leads to misinterpreted symbolic actions and unnecessary escalation. Rather than preparing for war, many hybrid actions serve internal loyalty performances. The text offers an alternative path based on trust-building, silent diplomacy, and mutually beneficial cooperation, particularly as BRICS nations begin to erode U.S. global hegemony.

The Future of US Hegemony

As global hegemony fractures, the world faces not a peaceful transition but a chaotic collapse of legitimacy, meaning, and recognition. The old order—once held together by belief, military dominance, and economic dependence—is unraveling from within. New powers rise, not to unify, but to divide. In this vacuum, people no longer trust the system or each other. The deeper crisis is not geopolitical, but psychological: the implosion of the recognition loop that kept individuals aligned with hegemonic forms. This essay explores the mechanisms of hegemony, its mutation into digital control, and the possibility of post-hegemonic societies grounded in form rather than performance.

The Dynamic of Diversionary War

The Recognition-Driven War Probability (RDWP) Model redefines how we assess the likelihood of conflict by incorporating a nation’s unconscious collective demand for recognition. Centered on the ratio of military spending to GDP, the model reveals how symbolic identity, domestic pressure, and perceived threats combine to shape strategic behavior. Use cases across diverse nations—from the U.S. to Saudi Arabia—demonstrate how recognition-seeking, more than pure strategic interest, predicts the probability of war in the 21st century.

Why There Will Be No Two-State Solution

The two-state solution was never a peace plan. It was a pacifier. Today, Israel no longer pretends. With overwhelming power and global indifference, it is dismantling Palestine piece by piece. Not through negotiation—but through domination

Courts, Universities, and the Illusion of Order

This essay explores the hidden mechanics behind recent U.S. political actions—visa bans on Chinese students, the attack on Harvard University, and the court’s block on Trump’s tariffs—through the lens of Eidoism. It reveals how institutions that appear to act from legal or structural principles are increasingly driven by the demand for recognition. What looks like constitutional governance or national defense is often a symbolic performance. In a system dominated by appearance and political theater, form survives only as a mask. Until the loop of recognition is exposed, true structure cannot re-emerge.

Narva: The Recognition Trap at NATO’s Edge

Narva, Estonia, sits at the crossroads of Europe’s security dilemmas. While a Russian invasion is unlikely, the city’s vulnerability makes it an ideal site for hybrid “tests” aimed at probing and undermining Western unity. Game theory and Eidoism’s analysis reveal how cycles of recognition-seeking, domestic performance, and structural distrust drive the persistence of crisis—even when form-based diplomacy offers a better path.

Dangerous Games in the Baltic

An escalating conflict in the Baltic Sea has led to unprecedented military standoffs, as European navies move to enforce sanctions and Russian oil tankers sail under international flags with navy escorts. This scenario highlights how the pursuit of symbolic dominance and recognition loops is breaking the structural form needed for stability, risking military confrontation, economic disruption, and ecological harm. Eidoism calls for a return to structural rationality—prioritizing shared needs, de-escalation, and form-based solutions over status-driven escalation.
