Sir Afilonius Rex

Bilbao, Spain. 13th December 2025

Oh, Europe, pronounced terminal yet again. This time, a Radically Human Ventures sage delivers the verdict. He is part probability theorist and part story-driven paterfamilias. He assigns the continent a 5% chance of civilisational survival. Meanwhile, he composes a moist-eyed farewell to the “Old Continent.” It’s an elegy made from familiar spare parts. It includes a dash of Peter Zeihan’s geopolitical fatalism and a sprinkle of Silicon Valley panel wisdom. There’s a belief that the future will be dominated by two AI giants. In this scenario, Europe is merely a polite museum gift shop.
