What actually is freedom in the age of AI? Or are we just holding onto a comfortable illusion? This is an excerpt from a recent discussion I had on ΚΡΗΤΗ TV with Giorgos Sachinis, where we explored some of these questions in greater depth. 🧠 The Illusion of Control • Freedom isn't being abolished, it’s being steered. • Choices aren't forbidden, they're carefully bounded. • We aren't told what to think, we’re subtly trained how to think. Where tyrants once had names and addre

While I’m "offline" in Norway, I’d like to share my three latest podcasts from the Greek YouTube sphere. They explore a common question: How much of what we experience as reality is actually shaped, monitored, or manipulated by technology, algorithms, and social engineering? 🎙️ 1. Humans in the Age of Algorithms 👉 Freedom of choice, or total surveillance? 🎙️ 2. How the Greek Security Advisor Was Prunked 👉 What the incident reveals about social engineering and the vulnerab

In a world overflowing with market commentary, finding voices that actually cut through the noise has never been harder, or more valuable. Between the endless stream of hot takes, recycled narratives, and algorithm-driven content, true signal is rare. Over the past couple of years I’ve refined my own shortlist of the video shows and podcasts that consistently deliver insight, clarity, and intellectual honesty about markets. Here is my personal ranking of the top five. 1. Prof

Las recientes escenas en Ceuta, donde un gran número de migrantes ha intentado cruzar hacia territorio español, plantean una pregunta fundamental: ¿Está España convirtiéndose gradualmente en un Estado fallido? Ceguera geoestratégica y guerra híbrida en Ceuta Las fronteras de España no son meramente fronteras españolas. Son también las fronteras exteriores de la Unión Europea. Cuando esas fronteras son desafiadas repetidamente, no solo se pone a prueba la soberanía de España,

The recent scenes in Ceuta, where large numbers of migrants have attempted to cross into Spanish territory, raise a fundamental question: Is Spain gradually becoming a failed state? Geostrategic Blindness and Hybrid Warfare in Ceuta Spain's borders are not merely Spanish borders. They are also the external borders of the European Union. When those borders are repeatedly challenged, it is not only Spain's sovereignty that is being tested, but also Europe's credibility. What is

I recently joined Giorgos Sachinis on Antithesis at ΚΡΗΤΗ TV to unpack the quiet rise of digital authoritarianism and how unchecked tech is reshaping our society. We dived deep into the systemic risks of AI, surveillance, and power concentration. Here are the core takeaways from our discussion: 👁️ The Illusion of Freedom: Society increasingly resembles a digital aquarium, we feel free, but our behaviors, choices, and data are constantly steered by invisible algorithms and te

David Heinemeier Hansson's recent LinkedIn post highlighted a stark reality: Europe is scrambling to wake up from decades of "naive pacifism." He announced his investment in the Danish startup Upteko, drawing parallels to Palmer Luckey’s Anduril in the United States. But David’s post exposes a much deeper, structural vulnerability. When even Denmark, traditionally one of the most peaceful nations on earth, starts pivoting tech capital into building quadcopters, it signals pan

or Why Sam Altman’s Energy Comparison between AI and a Child is a Moral Failure OpenAI's founder, of whom one might easily speculate that he experienced little love during his childhood and certainly lacks the joy of raising a child or even a pet, made a shocking remark in February 2026 at the AI Impact Summit in India. Among other things, he said: “One of the things that is always unfair in this comparison is people talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model re

If you've been following me for a while, you may have noticed a recent pattern: 📝 short post on Linkedin, full story on my blog, Cyclyst. 📌 The reason is straightforward. LinkedIn has removed the ability to export your posts.
