Thank you to @aaronjbastani.bsky.social of @novaramedia.com for a really good conversation. It's not often I get to talk about history and current affairs AND Adam Smith in the same interview. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPxj...

Chuffed to bits that it’s December. I absolutely love this time of year!

A time for friends, family and reflecting on what life is really about (and food - lots of food!)

I love our YouTube audience, it’s quite unlike anything else. And its variety and range genuinely reflects the kind of people I meet offline - left, right and none of the above.

They want informed debate, an alternative to legacy media and no hectoring.

Pretty remarkable statistics on German under-performance in digital technologies.

AI startups per 100,000 people:

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ US: 5.22
πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ UK: 5.22 (!)
πŸ‡«πŸ‡· France: 2.04
πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Germany: 1.9

Meanwhile 40% of German AI PhDs leave the country…

Really great book. Required reading for anyone who cares about the future of Europe.

Look forward to discussing in real detail with Wolfgang Munchau on @novaramedia.com

Commercial Road, Portsmouth, before World War Two and today.

The older I get the more I realise much of Europe never recovered from two utterly futile, stupid wars.
