What are high-performance researchers? Are unethical people emulating high productivity. They publish very frequently, often in fields they haven't studied, with unknown partners, with parasitic publishers where they pay to appear relevant. #thinkaboutthis #corruption #fakeexperts

Weak signals represent a small number of people who have the courage to think differently or do things a little differently from almost everyone else. Faced with such uncertainty, it’s time to ask for fresh ideas. #disrupt5 #weaksignals #trends #freeuniversity #thinkaboutthis

As AI advances, we will no longer need professors. Universities will be obsolete. And we will no longer need students. Let's show them how some old dogs still know the best tricks. #AI #innovation #weaksignals #trends #thinkaboutthis #disrupt5

While China advanced, Europe dismantled key industries and now risks losing its automotive sector. Its future may be dairy farming. Dependence on China will eventually come at a cost, just as reliance on Russian oil and gas does today. #Europe #China #thinkaboutthis #lifelessons
