The evolution of stupid (FT)

Probably, Simon Kuper is (mostly) right in his recent FT article (below). In general, Simon Kuper is a good writer. This article seems, however, rather keen to illustrate a negative view.

Will artificial intelligence (ever) understand TRUST?

A recent Axios Technology alert (see below) was no surprise (to me) because trust between humans is essential is nearly every issue, like in business, family, friendship, relationship, school, sport, and at work.

Migratiebeleid

Op 10 oktober 2024 kwam EenVandaag met het volgende nieuws: “Helft linkse kiezers wil immigratie beperken, maken zich vooral zorgen om opvangtekort en polarisatie”. Begin december 2024 draaide Frans Timmermans (o.a. BNR). Hij verschuilt zich achter het (kennis) rapport van de Staatscommissie Demografische Ontwikkelingen 2050. Meer waarschijnlijk is dat het om (zijn)...
