Artificial Intelligence is not a natural force but a man-made disruption. Tech oligarchs dream of production without labor — capital and machines generating wealth without people. To soften the blow, they promote Universal Basic Income, but always leave the question of funding abstract. This is no accident. By framing unemployment as a “social problem” to be solved by government, they privatize profits and socialize losses.

Like CO₂ pollution, AI-driven unemployment is a form of social pollution. The principle must be clear: the polluter pays. If society accepts the oligarchs’ framing, we risk a new feudalism of capital-only production and human irrelevance. If we resist, we can demand an AI dividend: a rightful share of the wealth created by technology, ensuring not only survival but recognition and dignity in a post-labor age.

For centuries, Classical, Keynesian, and Marxist economists have tried to explain human behavior in markets, yet all missed the true engine of economics: the Demand for Recognition (DfR). Classical theory reduced motivation to “self-interest,” Keynes focused on stabilizing demand, and Marx blamed class ownership. But each remained blind to the fact that recognition — not money, not survival — is the endless scarcity driving consumption, production, growth, and crisis. Eidoism reframes economics as the study of recognition flows, revealing why bubbles form, why inequality persists, and why no system achieves equilibrium. Without Eidoism, economics is a science of surfaces; with it, it becomes a human science that can finally address the root of instability.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

This essay critiques the growing trend of using brain stimulation to “enhance” cognitive functions like math learning. Using a recent tRNS study as a case example, it argues that such research reflects not genuine insight into the brain, but a deeper loop of institutional recognition-seeking. By stimulating large, imprecise brain regions without understanding the underlying logic of cognition, these studies reveal more about the academic system’s need for applause than about how humans actually think.

As Elon Musk and Donald Trump clash over the latest U.S. tax bill, the real issue lies deeper than any political feud: the myth that economic growth can solve structural debt and social decay. For decades, leaders have promised that growth will cover deficits, fix inequality, and preserve prosperity—but those promises are collapsing under the weight of demographics, ecological limits, and financial saturation. This essay dismantles the illusion that GDP can rescue us, exposing growth as a political performance—one that distracts from the urgent need for a post-growth economic paradigm rooted in balance, contribution, and structural reform.

A vague warning from Germany’s intelligence chief about Russia’s possible deployment of “little green men” triggered a full-spectrum performance across NATO institutions, media outlets, and political arenas. This essay dissects how modern decision-making is less about structural strategy and more about symbolic recognition—where intelligence, media, and governments amplify each other in a loop of performative escalation. Through the lens of Eidoism, we reveal how even ghostly threats can become real when every actor seeks visibility over form.

As the global economy approaches a point of no return, the collapse of the US dollar and Treasury bonds signals more than a financial crisis—it marks the unraveling of the entire industrial world order. This essay examines how the BRICS bloc is quietly escaping the symbolic grip of the dollar while Western allies remain trapped in denial and dependency. It explores why true reform is impossible within a system addicted to growth and recognition, and why collapse—not revolution—will be the catalyst for a new global structure based on contribution, not performance.
