As always, loved it. Who are the European equivalents of Peter Robinson, Stephen Kotkin, Niall Ferguson, Victor Davis Hanson? Do we even have any?

@tryingattimes @XFreeze Not a chance, that maybe our laws are flawed and need to be fixed, not even a small chance? No?

@zktrivo docs.o1labs.org/o1js is way too human. vercel.com/llms.txt should be the way. Or is this already outdated?

@ulrichspeck 1) No single market 2) Too much capital allocated by governments instead of private investors 3) Too much regulation and bureaucracy 4) Less just-build-things culture

@levelsio That is one of the reason why we have less tech innovation in Europe. Governments suck at allocating capital. Less taxes and more private investments is the only way.

These loans that we get to improve our defence capabilities should be treated as an exception. I'd say the priority is to first make sure we are armed to the teeth and fully ready to defend. We'll figure out the rest later. That said, I fully agree that generally we should cut gov spending and give way more space for private enterprises.

@Dispropoganda Also: - Europe have much better bureaucracy that is very capable of regulating our lives and making decisions for us so we don't have to. - Europe has bureaucracy that efficiently allocates the resources across the whole continent instead of leaving that to the private sector

@n01Zeichte @ulrichspeck It's both, the over-regulation and misdirected capital. Both a result of bureaucracy that manages 40% of GDP of the whole continent.

Europe is not losing to the US because it lacks engineers, capital or universities. It is losing because every layer of its system rewards the gatekeeper and punishes the builder. In medicine I see it weekly. A primary care AI that triages, documents and flags risk gets deployed in months in the US and runs into a years long compliance maze in Europe. By the time the European version is approved, the American one has been retrained twice and is cheaper. In energy it is worse. Spain ran 60 percent of April on clean power, then keeps shutting down nuclear plants that work. France stays stable on its grid. Germany burns lignite to compensate for a political decision made in 2011. Industry quietly leaves. In capital markets, an EU founder still raises across 27 fragmented systems while a Texan founder raises once and sells across a continent. None of this is about culture. It is about rules. The continent that gave the world Pasteur, Fleming and Marie Curie is now the one that consults itself to death while others ship. If Europe wants to matter in 2030, it needs less harmonization theater and more permissionless building. Otherwise the talent will keep voting with its feet, and the speeches in Brussels will keep arriving on time.

If we had European companies that would offer competitive services, we'd hand our data to them. But we do not, we use the services of US companies, because they provide good products. We're again regulating others before we even have the ability to create quality stuff on our own.

@WallStreetMav No, we're not. Poland, Baltic States, Finland, other eastern European states do not agree with this.

@Frankargao @WarMonitor3 No. We should listen to what others are saying, and if at least part of the critique towards us make sense, we should not discard it and learn from it. As of now, we might need to make compromises at least to some extent, because we're technologically and militarily weak.

Western Europe can afford to talk about full autonomy because it's not under direct threat from Russia. It has time to dream and move slowly in that direction. Eastern Europe doesn't have that luxury, the US is still the main security guarantee here. So for some Europeans, "vassal mindset" is really just the practical choice given the contraints.

I suspect this come from a cultural distrust toward markets and capitalism's abilities to solve these issues and by a large public sector that is incentivized to justify its role. It may work and improve consumer welfare in the end, but not sure if that's the primary driver behind it.
