Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can Europe ever catch up to the US in technology?
Q: What do you think are the key starting points that would spark innovation in terms of policymaking?
Jacques mentions focusing on renewable energy as a major opportunity, emphasizing leadership in technological development, while Paul suggests creating a conducive environment for innovation, imagining bold narratives that drive public interest and investment.
Can Europe ever catch up to the US in technology?
Q: Why hasn't Europe created any of those tech giants? Is it all structural, or how much of it is down to regulation?
Jacques suggests that the lack of tech giants in Europe is influenced by structural issues, labor regulations that make it costly to fail, and a cultural environment that is less conducive to innovation compared to the US.
Is the world becoming less democratic?
Q: Do you think the last American election has changed democracy and elections in what we would call the Western world?
Yes, the elections have shown anti-democratic values, but with a focus on youth and education, there could be a hopeful shift.
Is the world becoming less democratic?
Q: Where do you see the next, say, 20 years going in the world?
It might go either way, but generally, it's believed that technology will empower people while also giving governments new ways of subverting them.
Is the world becoming less democratic?
Q: David, why do you think democracy might be in decline?
It's not cyclical; the tide is receding, and what we're seeing is democracy becoming fractured and the institutions fracturing.
