YouTube video by DRM News FULL SPEECH: Canada’s PM Carney Says US-Led World Order Is Breaking at World Economic Forum | AC1G

This must be his best ever speech. Watch this speech by Canada's PM Carney if you want to understand politics today and tomorrow: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTvF...

Under Trump1 I do agree with these analysts. But Trump2 is different. Trumps second term is not a desperate attempt - it is an orgy of all that you mention - pushing it to such levels that it has to die. But how will it die? Only when we don't accept it anymore. It is up to us to make it die.

That makes me wonder. Are we in fact not part of a strange global reality TV show about a mad self-inflicted end of the world? An episode which made us realize how unsustainable the world actually was. And due to it we improved it before it was too late.

He acts under a sort of double speak that puts the world under a strange kind of self-inflicted pressure - which seems to unleash a lot of energy and power to change the world for the better - myself included. But the self-inflicted bit. The way this is orchestrated without any logic.

As a planet we had to come together, to work collectively on climate change. By denying it soo hard - and go so all in on "drill baby drill" is becomes unhinged to oppose it. With his "big, beautiful bill" he couldn't promote fair taxation better. With his denial he does promote vaccination.

But I work in public health - and in public health we do use counter factuals. It is a bit early, but what was the alternative way to achieve what he is achieving? He is achieving a change in world order - in which USA is giving away a lot of its power and position. Without any war.

Trump is disruptive beyond comprehension, and he does it knowingly and publicly. It is grotesque, theatrical and unhinged. So why is this? I think we all agree that he is changing the world as we know it, single handedly. Fast. At the moment we all hate it. We hate him with all we have.

Welcome in democracy. You ARE the psychiatrist.

It is fighting for our lives, our democracy. As the old democracy can't sustain. The old system delivered us Trump. New democracy needs more checks and balances, more focus in distribution of wealth and power. In such a way there won't be a Trump & Musk again, anywhere on the planet, ever.

We are transitioning to a pattern where accountability is built into the system, not enforced by a boss. It’s a risky, "round-by-round" game, but it might be the only way to force a long-term stable alignment for the planet.

Why does this matter? Because the old system allowed the "Big Players" to ignore global threats like climate change. In a decentralized, fully interdependent web, no one can exempt themselves. If you pollute, you break the web you rely on.

This creates a vacuum. But it’s a productive one. Without a single hegemon to hide behind or blame, every nation is now forced to "spell out" their dependencies. We are moving from Centralized Power to Decentralized Distribution.

Don’t look at the Venezuela invasion as an isolated event. It’s the intentional demolition of the 20th-century power model. By mimicking the "rule-breaking" of Russia/China, the US has officially resigned as the "Global Police."

Autonomy without interdependence isolates.
Interdependence without autonomy traps.
Real freedom lives in the space between—
where we stand tall and hold each other up.

Interdependence is freedom on the outside: trusting others who can also self-guide.
It’s not control; it’s shared reliability.

Autonomy is freedom on the inside: being able to guide yourself, think clearly, and act from your own values—without fear or pressure.
It’s not isolation; it’s self-stability.

Freedom often sounds like “doing what you want.”
But that kind of freedom collides fast—my freedom starts limiting yours.
Maybe it’s time to split freedom in two. 🧵

Silence is not the end of dialogue, but its most loaded word.

Life is not harmony without tension, but harmony through tension.

Peace is conflict, conflict in a controlled way.

But it is also smaller than the parts: each individual carries worlds of experience, imagination, and potential that the collective can never fully contain or express

A society is bigger than the sum of its individuals: it generates culture, laws, economies, languages — phenomena no single person could create alone.

Intelligence lives between us, not inside us.

Freedom is not absence of ties, but choice in ties.

A nation isn’t strong because of a single leader, but because of alliances, institutions, and norms that connect its people.

And our helping is our searching for stability what provides our stability: tax wealth, not work. Help other countries. Safe the planet. Build community etc.

A migrant and the anti-migrant are both searching for stabiltiy, and for both their searching is their stability. They just clash. But for both we should hear what they say and collaborate on finding stability.

In nature evolution brings viability and persistence, evolution is the searching for stability AND the finding of stability.

The search is the finding.

Life is not about having stability.
Life is the search for stability — and that search is already the stability that keeps us going.
