      Something tells me that within my lifetime, Brussels will become the capital of the free world.

          In their dreames. It may host some important political evens buy its a mix of posh elitist buildings build on top of piss stinking metro stations and streets…, just like most big cities.

          Homeless are routinely driven off, drug use is criminalized yet seem everywhere and most of us probably cant even afford the property in a slum. Typical old fashioned urban cities. Personal freedom is barely an afterthought

              No where, society is held together by its ability to make people accept limited freedom in return for reasonable safety.

              If humanity wants any chance on not collapsing on itself in the next 15 years we are going to have to rewrite the social contract and modernize human/living rights. I dont know how. but i don’t feel the prestige contest that is dated politics is going to help.

                See you in 15 years when things are not over and the world has continued on and adjusted to whatever comes in that time.

                The capital doesn’t mean epitome, it is currently the best for representing the people so in my view it is the capital.
