The Cow Is the Next Horse
GLP-1 changes the plate. Precision fermentation can detach protein from the animal. Dutch nitrogen may ease because demand falls, not because a plan wins.
The Nine Streets
The Netherlands is not a car-making country. RDW moved first. The Nine Streets are not the final boss. They are the European demonstration.
Super Power Comes from the South
Super Power is surplus electrons, not a green mix. Texas feels it first. Spain and Greece can become serious partners. Northern Europe cannot copy the sun.
The Next Ten Years
The Club of Rome had it backwards. Too few children. Cost curves too steep. Institutions too slow. Scarcity dies in the technology. Freedom can still die in the institution.
The Banality of Emergency
Fear mobilizes. Emergency becomes architecture. The adult position is harder: we do not know — so no one gets unlimited power. Humility, sunset clauses, and awe before the order we do not own.
First a Movement of Mind
The electoral right opened a vacuum. Liberty has to fill it — or something worse will. First a movement of mind: intellectual, libertarian, and adult enough for capital and defence.
The State Addicted to the Instrument
COVID was the Keynesian moment. The post-COVID state is the Hayekian warning: emergency instruments rarely remain emergency instruments.
Hayek for the Age of Agents
Hayek matters more in the AI age, not less. The danger is central planning with better dashboards. The better path is sovereign coordination: humans, markets and agents as distributed intelligence in contact with reality.
