#2"This is a quote by Ludwig von Mises, but really it could have been said by any mainstream economist"
Lol at this. Current European Academia and Establishment literally consider L. v. Mises far-right.
The good thing is that Europeans are gradually waking up and in 5-10 years time something radical enough is guaranteed to happen.

Mainstream conservatives accept parliamentarism.
Mises did not, which puts him on the fringe of the right, next to fascists, monarchists and whatnot.

#4Pretty weird to try and redefine accelerationism like this. Would have appreciated some explanation in that regard.

#5Europe is more worker friendly, the US is more business friendly.
They both have benefits and drawbacks.
Personally i'll take the worker benefits over the CEO lottery.

He is pretty far-right. And the Mises Institute.

#7> The EU could significantly advance its innovation capabilities by revising the charter of existing frameworks like the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), which despite a budget of over 2 billion Euros doesn’t have a functioning website at time of writing, to emulate the successful models of Arc and ARPA in the US, and ARIA in the UK.
Brit here. Almost no-one in the UK has heard of ARIA, which was an idea briefly pushed by a guy called Dominic Cummings - who was briefly a political advisor to Boris Johnson back when he was prime minister. As far as I can tell it has a yearly budget of just £200million - which doesn't buy very much advanced world-class research when compared to ARPA's $3.6bn budget or that of EIT. Its basically an under-resourced, post-brexit attempt to make the UK look like its playing with the big boys. Calling it "successful" is a stretch.
Also, EIT's website is at https://eit.europa.eu/ and, as far as I can tell, it works just fine.

#8> [The] question is how you . . . get Europe to regain self-confidence. I’ve never seen anybody succeeding with a lack of confidence,”
The post starts with this quote but the recommendations don't address it.
I only semi-jokingly consider there to be a physical continuum from the Bay Area to Europe. In the Bay Area, investors tend to be more afraid of missing out on upside than they are on losing their money. The further east you go (NY, Boston) the more risk averse (and thus the worse the financing terms). By the time you reach Europe, the fear of loss dwarfs the FOMO, thus the deals are few and small, with onerous terms. It's simply hard to get a business airborne in Europe.
The only significant exception I can think of to this exception is Hermann Hauser, and though he is European he actually did all his investing in the UK

#9Europe was rich because its nations were high trust societies. They were ethnic monocultures with social cohesion, shared history, religion, and culturally aligned, peaceful, productive populations.

" They were ethnic monocultures with social cohesion, shared history, religion, and culturally aligned, peaceful, productive populations. " I like to hear, when this was the case for Germany, Italy, France, Spain, UK or Poland but I dont know any timespan when this was the case.
