Terminally ill professor Jan Rotmans is using artificial intelligence to create a digital twin of himself to pass on his knowledge about societal changes to future generations, despite criticism that this would be dehumanizing. #AItweeling #JanRotmans #KunstmatigeIntelligentie (translated)

In a time of aging population and growing crises, the author proposes introducing a youthful plural voice to reassess the electoral balance between generations, allowing young people aged 18 to 35 to have more influence over their future. #Jeunesse #Démocratie #Suffrage (translated)

In a recent article, Dorian de Meeûs discusses the concerns of young people about their future in a world characterized by climate change, economic uncertainty, and political distrust, and he calls for recognition of both the responsibilities of previous generations and those of the youth themselves in the quest for a better future. #Jeunesse #Inquiétudes #Responsabilité (translated)

Sander Sassen wrote that the boy seemed sincere and kind, and that his story and documents sounded plausible. He claimed that entire generations of foreigners received free housing and a lifelong benefit here, while he and others had to work hard for it. Sassen called for an immediate end to this. #buitenlanders #uitkeringen #werkgelegenheid (translated)

Millennials, who grew up during the financial crisis and were seen as a lost generation, have turned their situation around and are now enjoying higher incomes, increasing home ownership, and a cultural revival, demonstrating that even lost generations can find their way. #generaties #millennials #cultuur (translated)

Sander Sassen wrote that Rob Jetten's call for all possible support for Ukraine amounted, in his view, to prolonging a war of attrition. He argued that the front line barely moved, that the Russian economy had adapted, and that Western munitions stocks and political support were finite. According to Sassen, diplomatic solutions were wrongly dismissed as a sign of weakness. Sassen referred to Ukrainian estimates of more than 1.5 million Russian dead and wounded and to Western analyses, including those from CSIS, which he claimed spoke of hundreds of thousands of casualties and over one hundred thousand deaths in Ukraine. He argued that the war constituted a demographic disaster for both countries and that further pressure from sanctions and weapons would result in more casualties. Negotiations, according to Sassen, were not capitulation but the way to end the war. He claimed that a full Ukrainian recapture of the borders of 1991 was militarily unrealistic without direct NATO intervention, risking a war with Russia. He advocated for territorial compromises, likely along the current front line, security guarantees for the remaining Ukraine, and an end to mobilization. He noted that Ukrainian men were forcibly taken off the streets in this process. Sassen acknowledged that such compromises would feel unjust and could reward aggression, but argued that they were better than continuing the current bloodshed. He accused Jetten and like-minded individuals of blocking serious diplomacy and urged the Prime Minister to immediately pursue a diplomatic solution. #Oorlog #Diplomatie #Vrede (translated)

In this opinion piece, Nadia Ezzeroili argues for viewing inequality and democratic decay in the Netherlands as an act of patriotism, while criticizing the reactions of older generations to the concerns of young people about military service and social inequality. #ongelijkheid #patriottisme #jeugd (translated)

The renovation is necessary to preserve this building and this world-renowned collection in a responsible manner for visitors, staff, and future generations. In the spirit of the agreements between the Dutch state and the founder of the museum, ir. dr. V.W. van Gogh, we have reached an agreement with the ministry, for which I am grateful. Gordenker responds happily to the outcome. #VanGoghMuseum #Renovatie #Cultuurbeleid (translated)

Geert Noels stated that acquired rights were benefits for older generations that were paid for by younger generations, while, according to him, those young people would not get them anymore because they were unaffordable. He added that he found it unfair that such rights were defended with social slogans, while he believed they were antisocial. #verworvenrechten #jeugd #socialerechtvaardigheid (translated)

Nog even over dat Coronafonds, NextGenEU. Denk niet dat alleen Nederland aan het lijntje wordt gehouden. Brussel doet dit overal. Spanje moest van Brussel de diesel duurder maken. Het Spaanse parlement zei nee. Keer op keer, daar kon het wel (Misschien omdat zij al 77 miljard hadden ontvangen?) Italië moest zijn strandtenten openbreken. Familiebedrijven die er al generaties zitten, raken hun plek tien jaar eerder kwijt. Anders geen coronageld. België? Pensioenhervorming niet streng genoeg naar de zin van Brussel. Geld ingehouden. Polen en Hongarije kregen hun miljarden pas toen er een regering zat die Brussel beter beviel. En wij? Pensioenstelsel omgegooid, CO2-heffing mag niet omlaag, gasbelasting mag niet omlaag. De man die in 2020 als minister van Financiën ja zei tegen het Coronafonds, zit nu in Brussel als klimaatcommissaris. Wopke Hoekstra. Je kunt het niet verzinnen. De EU noemt het een herstelfonds. Maar het is chantage, betaald met ons eigen geld. En kijk eens wie de ontwerpers zijn van die tijd? @cdavandaag @d66 @vvd. #EU #Coronafonds #NextGenEU

- Overheid veroorzaakt samen met banken enorme inflatie. - Bezit gaat omhoog in prijs omdat het geld minder waard wordt. - Bezit raakt buiten bereik van jongere generaties. - Overheid zet jongere generaties op tegen de generatie die nog bezit heeft. - Bezit moet hoger belast worden omdat het oneerlijk zou zijn. Zien we de rode lijn al? https://t.co/i5ctC7EmwH #Inflatie #Jongeren #Bezit

De hele wereld kent Nederland om zijn bloemen. Mensen reizen van ver om onze bollenvelden te zien. Onze kwekers en bloemisten hebben met generaties aan vakmanschap iets opgebouwd waar een klein land groot in is geworden. Van Aalsmeer tot het Westland, van Rijnsburg tot de kop van Noord-Holland: innovatieve ondernemers die wereldwijd toonaangevend zijn. En precies die Nederlandse trots en motor van onze economie, willen D66, VVD en CDA extra belasten. De btw op bloemen en planten moet van 9% naar 21%. De prijs: een omzetdaling van 830 miljoen euro en het verdwijnen van bijna 3.000 banen. En waarvoor? Om een minuscuul gat in de begroting te dichten. #Nederland #Bloemen #Economie
