1/ A fascinating presentation by General David Petraeus unfolded today at the Qatar Economic Forum's panel: "Return of the Multipolar World." His observations were both profound and timely, shedding light on the shifting global landscape. #QatarEconomicForum

2/ "Once upon a time, we bathed in the serene waters of benign globalization," the General remarked nostalgically. "Now, the seas have become tempestuous. We find ourselves navigating choppy waves of change." #Geopolitics
3/ Turning to the Eastern horizon, Petraeus noted the friction between China and the West as the most crucial issue of our era. But he dismissed the notion of 'decoupling' as impossible, reminding us of last year’s record-breaking US-China trade volumes. #ChinaWestRelations

"The future of #ChemicalEngineering"

I asked @slidesgpt to create a slide deck on the topic with #AI.

Some might say "pretty generic" again but let me tell you:
At every conference, there are presentations looking at least partially like this.

Let's go through it.

1/15
For a start, it is good that @slidegpt warns you that you should have a critical look at the content.

2/15
If you want to talk about the future, start with the past. Okay.

It also gives you a comment so that you can just make a karaoke session out of it:

"[...] Understanding this history is important for understanding the current state of the field and predicting its future."

So many are talking about #diesel & #gas shortages. Just a couple of facts from the latest @EIAgov This Week in Petroleum report.

1. US diesel stocks are below the 5 year average. Typically for this time we are between 120 to 140 million barrels of diesel.

We are at 110M... Image
2. In terms of days of supplies, last year we were sitting at 30 days of supplies, today we are at 25 days.... Image
3. In terms of production of #diesel, we are above last year's 4.6 million barrels per day; currently producing 5 million barrels of day.

Okay, if production is up and supplies are down, what is the cause?

Are we driving more?
No, diesel use is down in the US.

Then what? Image

Concerning the historical-structural power relationship between rulers & ruled, #GabrielRockhill (gabrielrockhill.com) citing #DavidHume:

#history #globalization #technology #democracy #Zeitgeschichte
(1/6)
“Nothing appears more surprizing to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few;

#history #globalization #technology #democracy #Zeitgeschichte

and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.

While there is still considerable uncertainty over the forecast for #inflation, we think both Core #CPI and #PCE inflation peaked in March and February, respectively, and should move appreciably lower by the end of 2022. Image
Throughout the pandemic, strong disposable #income and limited services spending fueled consumer #spending on goods and high goods volumes created #bottlenecks and extreme #inflation. Image
Eventually, excessively easy #MonetaryPolicy caused this robust #inflation to broaden into less disrupted categories.

🇷🇺#Russia is not waging war on Ukraine, but on #Atlanticism - The evolution of the conflict in Ukraine is very significant - two worlds oppose each other: the world of sovereign countries, carried by Russia, & that of #globalization, crushed by Atlanticism.
1/13 Image
If the weapons rumble on the Ukrainian territory, the conflict is indeed global, because the existence & the disappearance of one of these two worlds is at stake. By launching the military operation in Ukraine, Russia is not attacking Ukraine or Ukrainians. 2/13
The targets are military, it does not bomb towns or civilians, the Ukrainian soldiers are also coming in large numbers & the local authorities, for example in the Kharkov region, are now calling on the population to come to an understanding wit h Russia - the "new power". 3/13

Over the years, #China’s relationship with the #EU has withstood profound changes in the world. It has focused on dialogue, cooperation and mutual benefit, and demonstrated strong vitality by progressing with the times. 🇨🇳🇪🇺
It is important to stay committed to peaceful coexistence, open cooperation, #multilateralism, and dialogue and consultation. #China and the #EU are comprehensive strategic partners, not systemic rivals.
In 2020, #China became the #EU's largest trading partner for the first time. The two sides signed the agreement on #GeographicalIndications, decided to establish high-level dialogue mechanisms on #environment & #climate and on digital cooperation, and concluded #BIT negotiations.
