Episode notes
Higher education does not inherently create a smarter populace but serves as a means to identify and employ those already equipped with intelligence. In the EU, the necessity for more jobs extends beyond the educational framework, often leading to the creation of artificial academic roles due to insufficient private sector demand. The current situation in the EU does not present a catastrophic threat; rather, it faces a series of long-term existential challenges that worsen incrementally rather than through sudden crises. For instance, despite perceptions of Russia as a danger, its potential for conquest is significantly limited by its own domestic issues, making direct existential threats to Europe unlikely. Furthermore, the EU's ongoing issues are largely self-imposed, stemming from various ideological agendas such as environmental strategies, digital initiatives, and education reforms. These strategies are documented through extensive EU documentation and executed by a vast bureaucratic machine based in Brussels, highlighting a systematic approach to addressing perceived challenges.
