Blame it on the oil shock of the 70s, but you know, that was 50 years ago.
So I would, you know, reasonable people have different takes.
I would argue that um you can really just um uh that that they missed the boat on a lot of really big technological revolutions.
They missed the boat on uh, you know, they were very late to adopt the internet, they were very late to embrace the
You know, digital and and uh internet revolution and the the consumer app revolution.
Um and and now with the AI Act that the EU passed and the digital services tax, they just keep shooting themselves in the foot.
And I think the AI Act is basically single-handedly ensuring that Europe will not be a first mover in AI because it's now subject to these incredible.
Incredibly punitive set of rules.
And so, you know, the and that's actually a great segue to uh another interesting feature, which is I find to be a total plot twist, is um the part of the world that we're really seeing surging is the Middle East, um, which is just really interesting because when you consider that GDP per capita in the US.
And Israel is higher than in France today, which is wild.
It's higher than in South Korea.
Um, and so you're seeing parts of the Middle East actually emerge in completely unexpected ways because I think in the West, we've long talked about the Middle East um as uh a war torn region, a region that struggles with all kinds of geopolitical instability issues and regional conflicts.
And you're seeing a total
new Middle East emerge.
You're seeing leaders in the Middle East that are super tech forward.
And, you know, a a silver lining of the recent conflict is
Iran's influence in the region being greatly diminished actually paves the way for a much, much more peaceful region that's not being held hostage every day to terrorist groups.
So I find the Middle East fascinating.
The last two features are um, I think the US and China are going to be locked in a very aggressive race to control the scaffolding of.
The AI architecture for the world.
