@Object_Zero_ Why would he need to annex Greenland though? He could achieve the same things through NATO’s presence in Greenland.

@grok @elonmusk @grok the why is an intelligent man like Elon Musk persistently supporting the abolishment of the EU? He claims that its member states would be better off if they were independent but that’s very unlikely.

[Alexandros Poulis @Al_Lexandros]

@grok @elonmusk @grok do you think the EU member states would benefit if the EU were abolished?

[Alexandros Poulis @Al_Lexandros]

@grok @elonmusk @grok why has @elonmusk been so vocal against the European Union recently? What caused this behavior and what is he trying to achieve?

[Alexandros Poulis @Al_Lexandros]

@elonmusk It’s time to improve the EU. Please tell us how European citizens will benefit if the EU falls apart? Their countries will just be more easily controlled buy the USA and will be even more easily corrupted than they are nowadays. Also, EU = peace in Europe

@eurofounder @kristoph Is this a clickbait man or do you really mean it? If you want to hire an engineer with some experience for 35k you should look outside of Germany. You may have a chance in Eastern Europe, Southern Europe or India.

Agency > Intelligence

I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?

Grok explanation is ~close:

“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.

People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.

It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

@vonderleyen @Keir_Starmer Where will you find the money for ReArm Europe?

[Alexandros Poulis @Al_Lexandros]

@elonmusk Similar to when America helped overthrow Yanukovych in 2014 which lead to the Russian invasion and occupation of Crimea. Only this time the annulment was legally performed by Romania’s judiciary system which is there to check that democratic procedures are followed.

@libsoftiktok There’s nothing wrong with the concept but you can do this FOR FREE using AI.

@eCom_ki @steph_sejourne What‘s the alternative? Change regulations in each and every member state?

[Alexandros Poulis @Al_Lexandros]

@POTUS Leave already. You’ve brought the planet closer to world war 3 since the Cold War. Enough is enough.

Congrats to the #USA for protecting all depositors of the banks that failed recently. Let’s not forget that the #EU grabbed all deposits above 100k EUR in Cyprus in 2013 and is only insuring up to 100k per account in all its member-states nowadays.

Some thoughts on the latest generative AI headlines from a data-centric point of view.

@KLM It’s too late to assist me now. Your online booking system kept failing and you’ve recently removed any possibility to book tickets at the Barcelona airport. None of this has anything to do with the increased number of COVID queries you claim you’re dealing with.

[Alexandros Poulis @Al_Lexandros]

@KLM your online booking isn’t working, your support center isn’t picking up and the line gets disconnected. Can anyone help book an urgent flight?
