The West is more Audacious
I love the audacious claims made during times like these, ranging from controlling gravity and space colonization to the merging of competing factions in northern North America, all overlaid with AI, robots, and algorithms as part of the renaissance of the ‘New West.’
These vertical leaps require a workforce—primarily one that is insourced or developed in the West, rather than outsourced to the East. By doing so, it shifts the dynamics of relations toward trade, as opposed to multinational value chains.
Jordan Peterson had an important line directed at all sovereigns, which I believe should apply to sovereign states as well: Clean your room first!
