Every significant transformation in human civilisation begins with the ability to imagine something that does not yet exist. Before an invention becomes a reality, someone must first visualise its possibility. Before a social reform becomes a public demand, individuals must imagine a society organised around different principles. Before a nation begins a new journey, its people must develop a vis…
Every society contains individuals with different abilities, interests, experiences, and forms of intelligence. Some excel in scientific investigation, others possess exceptional practical skills, and many contribute through teaching, caregiving, administration, agriculture, craftsmanship, entrepreneurship, or community service. These abilities are distributed across the population, but they do n…
Human progress is frequently described through the language of achievement. Successful individuals are celebrated for their accomplishments, institutions are admired for their results, and nations are judged by the milestones they reach. Yet behind many achievements lies a moment that receives far less attention: the decision to begin when the outcome remains uncertain. Before the first step is t…
Artificial Intelligence Becomes a Global Power Struggle Artificial intelligence has become one of the most important battlegrounds in the relationship between the United States and China. What began as a competition among technology companies to build smarter software has developed into a broader contest involving national security, economic growth, scientific research, semiconductor manufacturin…
Economic growth is often associated with factories, infrastructure, investment and natural resources. Yet behind every major transformation in human history lies a less visible force: innovation. From the invention of the wheel to the development of artificial intelligence, human societies have progressed by finding better ways to solve existing problems.

Artificial intelligence has reached a point where the biggest argument is no longer simply about what AI can do. The more difficult question is how quickly increasingly capable systems should be developed, who should be responsible for their behaviour, and whether the companies building them can be trusted to police themselves. That debate has intensified sharply in September 2026 after a series …
A few years ago, artificial intelligence was mostly something people talked about in research labs, technology conferences and science fiction movies. Then chatbots changed everything. Suddenly, millions of people were using AI to write emails, create images, explain difficult subjects, write code, translate languages and answer everyday questions. But something else has been happening quietly in…
There is something interesting happening in China right now. On one side, Chinese factories are getting busier. Production of advanced products is growing, investment in technology is continuing and industries such as electric vehicles, batteries, artificial intelligence related equipment and industrial robotics are becoming increasingly important. On the other side, Chinese consumers are not spe…
For much of the period after the Cold War, Europe became accustomed to a relatively comfortable security environment. European countries invested heavily in healthcare, education, infrastructure and social programmes, while the United States carried a large share of the military burden within NATO.
