If a country stay smalls to remain true to its roots, it eventually gets absorbed by an empire.

Conversely, if a country plays for empire, and truly achieves world domination, it absorbs so many that its subjects eventually outnumber the imperial core. And thus the empire, too, loses touch with its roots.

Stay small and get conquered.
Get big and get diluted.

If you broadly know what you want to get done, AI will help you get there faster.

But in its current form, it can’t set the direction for you. And it doesn’t move at infinite speed.

Moreover, it does speed up everyone else who does know what they want to do.

Socialists are verbal.
Nationalists are visual.
Capitalists are numerical.
