The author described a talk by Dioscuri at HKU as fascinating and said they were concerned that AI agents acting as “guardian angels” could leave no room for moral autonomy or freedom. They argued that such utopian proposals were likely to lead to a dystopian future. https://t.co/OGGdfLIz84 #AI #MoralAutonomy #Dystopia #HK

The author wrote that public anger could help a candidate win an election but was not enough to govern, and that failing to deliver results could turn supporters against them. They said the observation also seemed applicable to Orbán’s electoral defeat. #politics #elections #governance #HU

The post shared Adam Tooze’s reflection on the current tech moment, saying he urged people to take businesspeople seriously when they described highly lucrative projects as both transformative for humanity and capable of ending the world as we know it.

The author praised an article by Jakub Grygiel, saying it argued that the EU’s claim of superiority was tearing the continent apart. They said this was the European disunion they had warned against. https://t.co/epY7r4akXj #EU #EuropeanPolitics #Disunion #EU

The author wrote that Europe’s future looked bleak, arguing that the EU’s claim to superiority was dividing the continent.

The author said they did not consider the rumours credible, but wrote that a German official’s initial uncertainty about whether German police forces were in Poland, followed moments later by a confident denial of their presence, did not inspire confidence. #Poland #Germany #Rumors #DE #PL

The author argued that, whatever legal basis the Tusk government had for its actions, the decision to proceed at that time was political. They asked why the Constitutional Tribunal takeover had been carried out when the threat of sabotage was already known. #Polityka #Prawo #Konstytucja #PL

The author argued that Tusk’s government had legal arguments for its proposed changes but lacked the political authority to implement them. They said the changes were therefore doubtful, noting that even an author they viewed as supportive of Tusk had acknowledged the government’s lack of political authority.

The author asked whether it was accurate that the Tusk government had ordered the previous day that President Karol Nawrocki’s plane be denied landing permission, and that its military pilots had disobeyed the control tower and landed without permission. #Polska #Polityka #News #PL

Iza Kaminska agreed with the view that the conflict was fundamentally about who had the authority to define Polish democracy and whose historical experience was recognised as legitimate, rather than simply who appointed judges. #Polska #demokracja #sprawiedliwość #PL

The author wrote that neither side trusted the other to exercise power legitimately. Each believed its opponent had captured institutions, manipulated legal procedures and threatened the country’s constitutional order. The author added that both sides claimed to be defending democracy, while trust between them had eroded.

The author contrasted what they described as the Polish right’s continuity on national sovereignty, immigration and resistance to deeper European integration with the liberal-centrist camp’s greater willingness to change its positions for electoral reasons. #Polska #imigracja #suwerenność #PL

The author highlighted an essay that revisited Immanuel Kant’s question of what enlightenment meant. They said it asked whether calculations performed by a machine that humans could not follow still counted as mathematics, and argued that AI was unlikely to contribute much to enlightenment. The author described the essay as excellent.

The author called it remarkable, writing that the Ukrainian human rights ombudsman had thanked Russian counterpart Yana Lantratova for her cooperation in carrying out the mission. The author wondered whether this could mark the beginning of the end. #Ukraine #HumanRights #Cooperation #UA #RU

The author asked whether this was what Cas Mudde had warned against, citing a statement Mudde wrote eight years earlier that undemocratic liberalism was not a remedy for illiberal democracy but its main cause.

In a post tagging EuroBriefing, the author argued that western European leaders had lacked a strategy for either securing Ukraine’s victory or achieving peace at any point in the past five years. They said their next book would explain why. https://t.co/jjyo8kAZDL #Ukraine #Peace #Leadership #UA #EU

The author argued that although Stubb had spoken in favour of an “ever closer union”, his actions supported a Europe of nation states, which the author said could stand up to Putin. They wrote that Europe would become stronger if its nations strengthened and rearmed, with help from the EU but action led by national governments. #Europe #Nations #Security #EU #RU
Slovak history professor
The author wrote that Stubb, whom they described as one of Europe’s strongest advocates of unity, was exposing divisions across the continent, whether he wanted to or not. https://t.co/KkEjLyC0A8 #Europa #UniónEuropea #DivisionesEuropeas #EU
