While this premise may be widely accepted it is also floored. Simply because it is too absolute to be true: conquest may have shaped many states and borders, however not every country was formed that way, and not every Indigenous society “claimed” land through conquest in the same sense. A more accurate statement would be “human history in the formation of countries on planet earth includes conquest, settlement, treaty-making, migration, federation, decolonization, and coercion in different combinations. Reducing all land histories to conquest erases important differences and can be used to excuse real dispossession.

Davos 2026 was less about panels and more about clashing worldviews on power, markets, and the future of global order.
Five speeches, five competing visions of world order, state power, markets and security – and some hard questions for boards and governments about what (and who) they are really planning for.
I broke down the most “moment‑making” speeches and why they mattered here 👇🏽

It has been barely a week since the AI game shifted from better models to who can power intelligence at nation‑scale. Are you and your leadership team truly caught up on what just changed, and why?
In Part 1, I argued that once compute becomes infrastructure, AI stops being a software question and becomes a sovereignty question. Today, Part 2 – published as a full article – goes inside the gigawatt layer.
