The word diversity hovers above the older German terms—Integration, Ausländer—but never quite replaces them. It creates an illusion of progress, an English-speaking surface that covers the older hierarchies underneath.

you cannot sit motionless in the heart of these perils, because the boat is rocking like a cradle, and you are pitched one way and the other, without the slightest warning

You want to democratize "going to therapy"? Make it "free" as in paid by socialized healthcare. You want to democratize "making art"? Give people money and free time to express themselves.

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

this is great

This is the cover of The Continent (Issue 217) dated 25 October 2025. It is illustrated by Gado. At the top, under a bright orange and yellow sky, a small wooden boat floats empty on calm water. The sun hangs low, casting warm light on the surface. Below the surface, the scene turns dark blue and heavy. Beneath the water, there are people sinking or swimming desperately — arms outstretched, bubbles rising from their mouths. Some are fully submerged, others are half-visible. Their clothes, bags, and papers drift around them, mixed with scattered objects. The headline at the bottom reads: “Exodus: Why we leave Tigray.”

All Protocol Observed

Welcome to Issue 217 of The Continent

Three years after the guns fell silent, Tigray is breaking. Its youth are fleeing, its hope fading. One writer retraces his path from citizen to fighter to exile — and the ghosts that follow.

We Have to Move "There are living, breathing people all around you who need your sense of decency to be made material. Don’t give up on them, or on you."

Yet again, we can't afford to let LLMs become a source of epistemic grounding for society.

I like the problem solving involved in crafting sentences and paragraphs. Why would I let an algorithm do that for me

Is The Future Worth It? We urgently need to transform our relationship to the future, freeing it from the logics of capitalisation and its unequal treatment of time.

From the Archive: Read Liliana Doganova on capitalism's unequal treatment of time.

"The process of capitalisation is a mode of engaging with the future that rests on a contradiction."

"Sir we're concerned that the chaotic damage you're doing to the economy, country and populace may be too abstract for the average American to fully grasp, do you have any ideas for a compelling visual metaphor?"
