Nos &#250;ltimos 30 dias aconteceram algumas coisas que, vistas juntas, deveriam nos fazer pensar.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">No dia 29 de outubro, a Binance, maior corretora de criptomoedas do mundo, <a href="https://tvbrasil.ebc.com.br/reporter-brasil/2026/10/ataque-hacker-permite-maior-roubo-de-criptomoedas-da-historia">teve mais de US$ 6 bilh&#245;es roubados</a>, cerca de R$ 34 bilh&#245;es, no maior roubo de criptomoedas da hist&#243;ria. A principal suspeita &#233; que tudo come&#231;ou no computador de um funcion&#225;rio. Dois dias depois, <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/cyber/alerts/2026/north-korea-responsible-for-6-billion-binance-attack">o FBI atribuiu o ataque &#224; Coreia do Norte</a>. O regime <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3373050/sister-north-koreas-kim-slams-fbis-binance-hack-allegations-grave-provocation">nega</a>, e o presidente Trump, perguntado sobre o caso, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/6185518-trump-binance-crypto-hack-north-korea/amp/">disse que os Estados Unidos ainda estavam apurando</a>. Mesmo com essa ressalva, eu fico com a leitura do FBI e das empresas que rastreiam essas transa&#231;&#245;es: n&#227;o foi um moleque num por&#227;o, foi um pa&#237;s. O valor levado <a href="https://blocktrends.com.br/?p=412841">equivale a mais de um ter&#231;o do PIB anual norte-coreano</a>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Quatro dias depois foi a vez de uma empresa brasileira. O Mercado Bitcoin <a href="https://investnews.com.br/?p=887908">perdeu quase US$ 50 milh&#245;es em um ataque</a> e suspendeu saques e dep&#243;sitos enquanto investigava o caso.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">No dia 6 de novembro, a Defesa Civil Nacional publicou orienta&#231;&#245;es para cada fam&#237;lia montar um kit de emerg&#234;ncia para 72 horas. Diante da repercuss&#227;o, o minist&#233;rio <a href="https://www.diariodepernambuco.com.br/brasil/2026/11/11728643-defesa-civil-diz-nao-haver-motivo-para-panico-por-kit-de-emergencia.html">esclareceu que a medida &#233; preventiva</a> e n&#227;o est&#225; ligada a nenhum alerta nacional.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">O Brasil n&#227;o est&#225; sozinho nisso. Em 22 de outubro, o Reino Unido <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/households-encouraged-to-take-small-simple-steps-to-stay-prepared-in-an-emergency">lan&#231;ou a campanha Be Ready</a>, que pede reservas para tr&#234;s dias e <a href="https://www.adsadvance.co.uk/uk-be-ready-national-resilience-campaign/">inclui ataques cibern&#233;ticos entre os riscos</a>. No dia 3 de novembro, a Comiss&#227;o Europeia <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/echo/files/policies/preparedness/guidelines_preparedness_selfsufficiency.pdf">apresentou diretrizes para os 27 pa&#237;ses do bloco</a> com a mesma meta de 72 horas. Segundo <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-countries-urging-residents-to-stockpile-food-12629524">um levantamento da Newsweek</a>, governos de pelo menos 33 pa&#237;ses j&#225; orientam a popula&#231;&#227;o a manter estoque em casa, entre eles Fran&#231;a, Alemanha, Su&#233;cia, Noruega, Estados Unidos, Canad&#225; e Jap&#227;o. Alguns v&#227;o al&#233;m das 72 horas: Su&#233;cia e Noruega pedem cerca de uma semana, e a Alemanha, at&#233; dez dias.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Junto com tudo isso veio o boato de um apag&#227;o mundial no dia 17 de novembro. Ele &#233; falso, porque <a href="https://www.metropoles.com/mundo/kit-de-sobrevivencia-e-apagao-mundial-o-que-ha-de-real-e-o-que-e-alarmismo">n&#227;o existe documento t&#233;cnico nem alerta oficial</a> que o sustente. N&#227;o repasse.</p><h2>O fio que liga tudo</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Aqui entra a minha leitura, e acho importante separar fato de interpreta&#231;&#227;o. Os governos dizem que essas campanhas s&#227;o preventivas e que n&#227;o respondem a uma amea&#231;a espec&#237;fica, e eu acredito neles. Mas tamb&#233;m acho que ningu&#233;m pede ao cidad&#227;o que guarde &#225;gua e dinheiro vivo por acaso, e o pano de fundo &#233; a geopol&#237;tica. Uma guerra hoje n&#227;o come&#231;a com tanque, come&#231;a com hacker, cabo submarino cortado e banco fora do ar.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Em setembro veio a p&#250;blico que aliados da OTAN <a href="https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2026/09/10/nato-allies-foil-russian-subsea-cable-sabotage-plot/">flagraram submarinos russos treinando a sabotagem de cabos submarinos</a> no &#193;rtico. Em outubro, o Reino Unido <a href="https://www.theregister.com/networks/2026/10/23/uk-threatens-subsea-cable-saboteurs-with-14-years-behind-bars/5304794">prop&#244;s at&#233; 14 anos de pris&#227;o para quem sabotar esses cabos</a>, citando atividade russa suspeita. E a Coreia do Norte rouba para se sustentar: segundo um painel de especialistas da ONU, o roubo cibern&#233;tico <a href="https://www.npr.org/2026/11/02/nx-s1-6023424/fbi-says-north-korean-hackers-are-behind-the-theft-of-6-3b-from-binance">j&#225; responde por cerca de metade da receita do pa&#237;s em moeda estrangeira</a>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">O que mais me preocupa, por&#233;m, &#233; outra coisa. Nos dois casos deste m&#234;s as empresas disseram que os clientes n&#227;o perderam dinheiro, mas os saques ficaram suspensos. Agora pense nisso acontecendo com o seu banco por 7 dias, ou em 7 dias sem luz ou sem internet, o que significa ficar sem Pix, sem cart&#227;o, sem aplicativo e sem WhatsApp.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A Defesa Civil fala em 72 horas. Eu fico com suecos e noruegueses, que pedem 7 dias, e para rem&#233;dios sugiro 30.</p><h2>Dinheiro</h2><ol><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Tenha em casa dinheiro vivo para uma semana de gastos b&#225;sicos, em notas pequenas.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">N&#227;o deixe tudo em um banco s&#243; e use pelo menos duas institui&#231;&#245;es. Se voc&#234; tem cripto, vale entender a diferen&#231;a entre deixar na corretora e guardar em carteira pr&#243;pria. N&#227;o &#233; recomenda&#231;&#227;o de investimento, &#233; saber onde o seu dinheiro realmente est&#225;.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">De vez em quando, salve em PDF o saldo e os extratos, para ter prova do que &#233; seu se o sistema cair.</p></li></ol><h2>Casa</h2><ol start="4"><li><p style="text-align: justify;">&#193;gua: a refer&#234;ncia usada pela Defesa Civil &#233; de <a href="https://ncnews.com.br/?p=76734">dois litros por pessoa por dia</a>, o que d&#225; 14 litros por pessoa para 7 dias.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Comida que n&#227;o precisa de geladeira nem de fog&#227;o, al&#233;m de lanterna e pilhas.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Rem&#233;dios de uso cont&#237;nuo para 30 dias, sempre de olho na validade.

O primeiro &#233; um <a href="https://x.com/Osint613/status/2118104533129904521">trecho de pouco mais de um minuto</a> de Ron Dermer, que foi embaixador de Israel em Washington entre 2013 e 2021 e depois ministro de Assuntos Estrat&#233;gicos. O segundo &#233; uma <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPKp21FYFUM">conversa longa</a> entre o australiano John Anderson, ex-vice-primeiro-ministro do seu pa&#237;s, e o escritor Os Guinness, com o t&#237;tulo <em>How the Land of the Free Lost Its Liberty</em>. Quanto mais eu pensava nos dois, mais eles pareciam falar da mesma coisa. O que acontece com uma sociedade quando ela passa a pensar s&#243; no que lhe &#233; devido e esquece o que ela deve.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">E isso n&#227;o &#233; um problema s&#243; dos americanos. &#201; do Ocidente inteiro, e o Brasil est&#225; dentro dele.</p><h1>O alerta de Dermer</h1><p style="text-align: justify;">Dermer come&#231;a sem rodeios. Um dia os Estados Unidos v&#227;o eleger um presidente que n&#227;o gosta de Israel. Pode ser daqui a dois anos, seis ou dez. A pergunta, para ele, n&#227;o &#233; se isso vai acontecer, mas como lidar quando acontecer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A resposta dele &#233; pragm&#225;tica. N&#227;o fala de d&#237;vida moral nem de afinidade. Fala do diretor da CIA explicando ao presidente que cortar la&#231;os com o Mossad coloca vidas americanas em risco, e do respons&#225;vel por intelig&#234;ncia artificial dizendo que romper essa parceria &#233; entregar o futuro &#224; China. A rela&#231;&#227;o se sustenta pelo que cada lado entrega.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mas o que me interessa mais vem depois. Com um presidente anti-Israel, diz Dermer, ele consegue lidar, porque basta argumentar. O que ele n&#227;o consegue enfrentar &#233; um presidente antiamericano. E avisa &#224; plateia que isso n&#227;o seria um problema de Israel, e sim um problema existencial para os pr&#243;prios americanos.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ou seja, o maior risco para os Estados Unidos n&#227;o est&#225; fora. Est&#225; dentro. &#201; um pa&#237;s que um dia pode eleger algu&#233;m que n&#227;o acredita no pr&#243;prio pa&#237;s. E isso s&#243; acontece quando boa parte da popula&#231;&#227;o j&#225; esqueceu o que aquele pa&#237;s &#233;.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Uma ressalva: o post no X que circulou o v&#237;deo, publicado em 4 de novembro, n&#227;o diz onde nem quando o discurso foi feito. A tradu&#231;&#227;o &#233; minha, a partir da legenda em ingl&#234;s.</p><h1>Liberdade &#233; fazer o que se deve</h1><p style="text-align: justify;">&#201; a&#237; que entra Os Guinness. Ele parte de uma frase simples e inc&#244;moda: liberdade n&#227;o &#233; fazer o que se quer, &#233; fazer o que se deve. Para ele, toda sociedade livre tem tr&#234;s tarefas. Conquistar a liberdade, que nos Estados Unidos foi a Revolu&#231;&#227;o. Organiz&#225;-la, que foi a Constitui&#231;&#227;o. E sustent&#225;-la, que &#233; trabalho de cada gera&#231;&#227;o. As duas primeiras foram bem feitas. A terceira est&#225; falhando.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Guinness chama isso de tri&#226;ngulo dourado da liberdade. A liberdade precisa de virtude, porque se as pessoas n&#227;o sabem se governar sozinhas, o Estado vai fazer isso por elas, com uma lei para cada coisa. A virtude precisa de alguma base moral ou de f&#233;, porque n&#227;o nasce do nada. E essa f&#233; precisa de liberdade de consci&#234;ncia. Os tr&#234;s lados se sustentam, e segundo ele os tr&#234;s foram abandonados.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Num momento da conversa, Anderson resume: hoje tudo &#233; baseado em direitos, os meus contra os seus, e quase ningu&#233;m fala em responsabilidade ou sacrif&#237;cio pelo outro. Guinness d&#225; o nome: direitos sem dever. Ele lembra Tocqueville e o Estado tutelar, e Thatcher e o Estado bab&#225;. Quanto mais dependemos dele, menos nos governamos.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A passagem mais forte, para mim, &#233; quando ele diz que existe uma certa liberdade na tirania. A liberdade de n&#227;o precisar decidir nada, porque algu&#233;m decide por voc&#234;. J&#225; a responsabilidade que vem com a liberdade de verdade assusta. Por isso, diz ele, o maior inimigo da liberdade &#233; a pr&#243;pria liberdade, quando ela vira licen&#231;a para fazer o que der vontade.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">E ele cita Thomas Sowell. Civiliza&#231;&#245;es precisam ser constru&#237;das, mantidas e, se for preciso, defendidas. Mas acima de tudo precisam ser entendidas. Quem perde o entendimento perde a civiliza&#231;&#227;o. Guinness mostra como esse entendimento se perdeu. A escola parou de transmitir a hist&#243;ria do pa&#237;s para os jovens, e ningu&#233;m mais explica a quem chega de fora o que significa fazer parte dele.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Juntando os dois v&#237;deos, o presidente antiamericano que Dermer teme &#233; o resultado natural do processo que Guinness descreve.</p><h1>O peso da palavra</h1><p style="text-align: justify;">Tem uma parte da conversa que eu n&#227;o esperava e que acabou sendo a que mais ficou comigo. Guinness fala da palavra.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPKp21FYFUM&amp;t=2137s">Ele conta</a> que conheceu Charlie Kirk rapidamente, depois de uma palestra sobre esse tema, e lembra uma ideia que aprendeu com rabinos: quando as palavras quebram, a viol&#234;ncia n&#227;o est&#225; longe. Kirk foi assassinado em 2025. A frase deixou de ser teoria.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Para Guinness, a forma como falamos depende de tr&#234;s coisas. Uma vis&#227;o elevada da pr&#243;pria palavra, um compromisso s&#233;rio com a verdade e o respeito pelo outro como algu&#233;m que tem a mesma dignidade que n&#243;s. Quando essas tr&#234;s coisas existem, o discurso muda. Quando somem, sobra o insulto, o deboche e a lacra&#231;&#227;o. Ele diz, sem poupar ningu&#233;m, que o debate p&#250;blico americano virou uma vergonha, a come&#231;ar pelo presidente.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ele tamb&#233;m traz uma distin&#231;&#227;o que eu acho preciosa. Existe a discuss&#227;o em busca da verdade e a discuss&#227;o em busca da vit&#243;ria. Na primeira, n&#227;o importa quem ganha, porque todo mundo sai ganhando quando a verdade aparece. Na segunda, todo mundo perde, porque quem venceu foi o poder e n&#227;o a verdade.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Isso tem tudo a ver com direito e responsabilidade. Quem pensa s&#243; em direitos fala para vencer. Quem pensa em responsabilidade fala para construir. E a palavra tamb&#233;m &#233; promessa. Uma constitui&#231;&#227;o, um casamento ou um contrato s&#227;o palavras dadas. Guinness lembra que fazer uma promessa &#233; f&#225;cil, cumprir &#233; que &#233; dif&#237;cil. Uma sociedade que perde o respeito pela palavra perde tamb&#233;m a capacidade de cumprir seus compromissos.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">E vem mais por a&#237;. Guinness diz que o problema de base da intelig&#234;ncia artificial &#233; apagar a diferen&#231;a entre o verdadeiro e o falso. Se j&#225; estamos tratando a palavra com desprezo, imagine quando qualquer v&#237;deo, voz ou documento puder ser fabricado em segundos.</p><h1>E o Brasil?</h1><p style="text-align: justify;">Seria confort&#225;vel ler tudo isso como um problema americano. N&#227;o &#233;.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nossa Constitui&#231;&#227;o de 1988 foi chamada por Ulysses Guimar&#227;es de Constitui&#231;&#227;o Cidad&#227;. O cap&#237;tulo central se chama Dos Direitos e Deveres Individuais e Coletivos, e o <a href="https://www.politize.com.br/artigo-quinto/artigo-5/">artigo 5&#186; tem hoje 79 incisos</a>. Quase todos tratam de direitos. Os deveres aparecem no t&#237;tulo e pouco no resto. Faz sentido hist&#243;rico, porque ela veio depois de uma ditadura e precisava proteger o cidad&#227;o do Estado. Mas criou uma cultura em que o brasileiro conhece bem o que pode exigir e pouco o que precisa entregar.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">O resultado aparece nos n&#250;meros. Nas <a href="https://ihu.unisinos.br/categorias/550967-a-tragica-normalidade-da-america-latina-e-a-desconfianca">pesquisas do Latinobar&#243;metro</a>, o Brasil ficou em &#250;ltimo lugar na Am&#233;rica Latina em confian&#231;a interpessoal, com cerca de 7% das pessoas dizendo que se pode confiar na maioria dos outros, na m&#233;dia de duas d&#233;cadas de levantamentos. Uma sociedade em que ningu&#233;m confia em ningu&#233;m n&#227;o consegue se autogovernar. Ela terceiriza tudo para o Estado e depois reclama dele.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">E a palavra? Quem acompanhou a campanha deste ano viu o mesmo fen&#244;meno que Guinness descreve nos Estados Unidos, dos dois lados. O objetivo n&#227;o era convencer, era destruir. Discuss&#227;o para vencer, nunca para encontrar a verdade.</p><h1>A gera&#231;&#227;o da vitrine</h1><p style="text-align: justify;">Agora o ponto que mais me preocupa. Uma gera&#231;&#227;o inteira nasceu dentro de uma bolha de internet que s&#243; mostra gente bonita, viagens caras, carros, roupas de marca e corpos perfeitos. O algoritmo mostra o resultado e esconde o processo. Ningu&#233;m posta as madrugadas de estudo, os anos de trabalho sem reconhecimento ou as falhas no caminho.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Quem cresce olhando essa vitrine o dia inteiro passa a achar que aquilo &#233; o normal. E, se &#233; o normal, &#233; um direito. Se eu n&#227;o tenho, algu&#233;m est&#225; me devendo. Os pais, o governo, o sistema, o mundo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Uma <a href="https://nossomeio.com.br/75-dos-jovens-brasileiros-querem-ser-influenciadores-digitais/">pesquisa da INFLR de 2022</a> apontou que 75% dos jovens brasileiros queriam ser influenciadores digitais. Entendo o motivo. &#201; a profiss&#227;o que parece entregar o resultado sem passar pelo processo. Jonathan Haidt, em <a href="https://www.anxiousgeneration.com/">A Gera&#231;&#227;o Ansiosa</a>, mostra como a troca de uma inf&#226;ncia baseada no brincar por uma inf&#226;ncia baseada no celular coincidiu com a explos&#227;o de ansiedade e depress&#227;o entre adolescentes. Guinness fala a mesma coisa: jovens deprimidos, solit&#225;rios e ansiosos.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Eu acho que existe uma liga&#231;&#227;o direta entre essa ansiedade e a cultura do direito. Quem acredita que merece tudo vive frustrado, porque a realidade nunca entrega o que a vitrine prometeu. Quem entende que a vida &#233; feita de responsabilidades descobre que o esfor&#231;o tem sentido e que o resultado vem como consequ&#234;ncia.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">E aqui volto a Guinness. Se a liberdade exige gente capaz de se governar sozinha, uma gera&#231;&#227;o que espera tudo pronto &#233; exatamente a que vai trocar liberdade por conforto quando a conta chegar. &#201; a liberdade da tirania de que ele fala. Algu&#233;m decide por voc&#234;, e voc&#234; aceita, porque pelo menos n&#227;o precisa decidir.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">L&#225; pelo minuto 43 da conversa, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPKp21FYFUM&amp;t=2600s">Anderson lembra um ditado</a> que ficou famoso na internet na vers&#227;o do escritor G. Michael Hopf: tempos dif&#237;ceis criam homens fortes, homens fortes criam tempos f&#225;ceis, tempos f&#225;ceis criam homens fracos e homens fracos criam tempos dif&#237;ceis. Anderson prefere falar em l&#237;deres e sociedades. Tempos duros produzem grandes l&#237;deres, que constroem sociedades confort&#225;veis, que se perdem e voltam a precisar de l&#237;deres fortes. Guinness completa dizendo que a ideia &#233; antiga. Ciro, o Grande, se recusou a trocar as montanhas da P&#233;rsia pelo luxo da capital justamente por isso, e o historiador Ibn Khaldun descreveu o mesmo ciclo s&#233;culos depois.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Esse ciclo explica bem a gera&#231;&#227;o da vitrine. Ela &#233; filha de tempos f&#225;ceis, pelo menos na apar&#234;ncia. Nunca precisou conquistar o que tem, ent&#227;o acha que sempre vai ter. O conforto que os av&#243;s constru&#237;ram com esfor&#231;o virou, para os netos, um ponto de partida garantido. E um direito.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mas Guinness tamb&#233;m diz que conhece jovens excepcionais, corajosos e s&#233;rios, e Anderson concorda que tempos duros podem estar formando uma nova leva deles. Eu tamb&#233;m conhe&#231;o alguns. S&#243; que Guinness admite que s&#227;o exce&#231;&#245;es. O desafio &#233; fazer com que deixem de ser.</p><h1>Conclus&#227;o</h1><p style="text-align: justify;">Nada disso quer dizer que direitos sejam o problema. Martin Luther King, que Guinness cita com admira&#231;&#227;o, foi a Washington cobrar uma nota promiss&#243;ria, ou seja, direitos prometidos e n&#227;o entregues. A nossa Constitui&#231;&#227;o tamb&#233;m nasceu como resposta a abusos reais de uma ditadura. E &#233; justo lembrar que toda gera&#231;&#227;o reclama da seguinte, que muitos jovens trabalham duro num mundo com moradia cara e emprego inst&#225;vel, e que nem toda frustra&#231;&#227;o &#233; sensa&#231;&#227;o de privil&#233;gio. O problema &#233; o direito que esqueceu do dever.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tamb&#233;m &#233; preciso cuidado com o r&#243;tulo. Guinness critica a esquerda, mas diz com todas as letras que Trump governa pelo poder e n&#227;o pela persuas&#227;o. E Dermer n&#227;o &#233; observador neutro: &#233; muito pr&#243;ximo de Netanyahu e em setembro <a href="https://www.israelhayom.com/2026/09/01/he-kept-israel-safe-dermer-throws-support-behind-vance/">declarou apoio p&#250;blico a JD Vance</a>. Antiamericano, ou antipatriota, n&#227;o pode virar sin&#244;nimo de quem pensa diferente de n&#243;s.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Feitas essas ressalvas, eu fico com a ideia central dos dois v&#237;deos. O Ocidente n&#227;o corre o risco de ser derrotado de fora antes de se desmontar por dentro. E ele se desmonta quando cada um de n&#243;s passa a perguntar primeiro o que lhe devem, e s&#243; depois, se perguntar, o que deve.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A sa&#237;da come&#231;a em coisas pequenas e concretas. Perguntar, antes de reivindicar um direito, qual responsabilidade vem junto. Tratar a palavra como compromisso, discutindo para encontrar a verdade e n&#227;o para ganhar, e cumprindo o que prometemos. Ensinar em casa e na escola de onde vem a liberdade que temos e quanto ela custou, porque ningu&#233;m defende o que n&#227;o entende. Mostrar aos mais jovens o processo, com os fracassos, o esfor&#231;o e o tempo que a vitrine esconde. Reconstruir confian&#231;a onde ela ainda &#233; poss&#237;vel, na fam&#237;lia, na vizinhan&#231;a, no trabalho. E desconfiar de l&#237;deres, de qualquer lado, que s&#243; sabem usar o poder.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Os tempos f&#225;ceis est&#227;o acabando. A pergunta &#233; se vamos chegar aos tempos dif&#237;ceis como uma gera&#231;&#227;o que espera receber ou como uma gera&#231;&#227;o disposta a responder.</p><h1>Fontes</h1><p>&#8226; Ron Dermer, v&#237;deo publicado por @Osint613 no X (4 nov. 2026): </p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/Osint613/status/2118104533129904521&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Ron Dermer: \n\n&#8220;We can deal with an anti-Israel President&#8230;what we can&#8217;t deal with is an anti-American President.&#8221;  &quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;Osint613&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Open Source Intel&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/2094762039746936832/f8vexHZ2_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-11-04T22:14:07.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[{&quot;img_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!U11N!,w_1028,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best,fl_progressive:steep/l_play_button_usfui2,w_88,e_colorize:0/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F__ss-rehost__tw-video-preview-13_2117361307984826368.jpg&quot;,&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;https://t.co/jiLWdi5Zw7&quot;}],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{},&quot;reply_count&quot;:12,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:86,&quot;like_count&quot;:774,&quot;impression_count&quot;:78091,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_url&quot;:&quot;https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/2117361307984826368/vid/avc1/720x1280/rcOOJqEtAy5IjY8X.mp4&quot;,&quot;video_preview_media_key&quot;:&quot;13_2117361307984826368&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div><p>&#8226; Os Guinness e John Anderson, How The Land of the Free Lost Its Liberty (YouTube): </p><div id="youtube2-bPKp21FYFUM" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;bPKp21FYFUM&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/bPKp21FYFUM?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>&#8226; All Israel News, ren&#250;ncia de Dermer ao Minist&#233;rio de Assuntos Estrat&#233;gicos (nov. 2025): <a href="https://allisraelnews.com/netanyahus-strategic-advisor-ron-dermer-resigns-says-government-will-be-remembered-for-oct-7-and-achievements-of-7-front-war">https://allisraelnews.com/netanyahus-strategic-advisor-ron-dermer-resigns-says-government-will-be-remembered-for-oct-7-and-achievements-of-7-front-war</a></p><p>&#8226; Israel Hayom, Dermer declara apoio a JD Vance (set. 2026): <a href="https://www.israelhayom.com/2026/09/01/he-kept-israel-safe-dermer-throws-support-behind-vance/">https://www.israelhayom.com/2026/09/01/he-kept-israel-safe-dermer-throws-support-behind-vance/</a></p><p>&#8226; Politize!, o artigo 5&#186; da Constitui&#231;&#227;o e seus 79 incisos: <a href="https://www.politize.com.br/artigo-quinto/artigo-5/">https://www.politize.com.br/artigo-quinto/artigo-5/</a></p><p>&#8226; IHU Unisinos, Latinobar&#243;metro e a confian&#231;a interpessoal na Am&#233;rica Latina: <a href="https://ihu.unisinos.br/categorias/550967-a-tragica-normalidade-da-america-latina-e-a-desconfianca">https://ihu.unisinos.br/categorias/550967-a-tragica-normalidade-da-america-latina-e-a-desconfianca</a></p><p>&#8226; Nosso Meio, pesquisa INFLR: 75% dos jovens querem ser influenciadores (2022): <a href="https://nossomeio.com.br/75-dos-jovens-brasileiros-querem-ser-influenciadores-digitais/">https://nossomeio.com.br/75-dos-jovens-brasileiros-querem-ser-influenciadores-digitais/</a></p><p>&#8226; Jonathan Haidt, A Gera&#231;&#227;o Ansiosa: </p><p>https://www.anxiousgeneration.com/</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://danieltiborfuchs.com.br/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

Alignment. The idea is to make sure AI acts in line with our interests. It doesn&#8217;t have to think like us, but it has to be on our side. Stuart Russell, a professor at Berkeley, wrote a whole book about it, <em>Human Compatible</em>, in 2019.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://danieltiborfuchs.com.br/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

What bothers me is how it usually gets framed. We talk about AI as if it were a single mind that needs to be taught good values. But not even our own minds work that way.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>We are not just one intelligence</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Think about the last hard decision you made. There was probably a part of you wanting to take the risk and another part pulling the brakes. That second voice has an address. It&#8217;s the prefrontal cortex, the region that weighs consequences and holds back impulses. The classic case is Phineas Gage, an American railroad worker who in 1848 had that area pierced by an iron rod. He survived, but became a different person. Impulsive, reckless, unable to stick to a plan.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Antonio Damasio went further in <em>Descartes&#8217; Error</em>. He showed that patients with damage to this region reason well on paper but make disastrous decisions in real life. They lack the emotional signal that warns them when something is about to go wrong. In other words, reason alone doesn&#8217;t decide well. It needs to be challenged.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Michael Gazzaniga&#8217;s experiments with split brain patients revealed something even more curious. The left hemisphere makes up explanations for actions it didn&#8217;t start. Consciousness often arrives later and tells the story as if it had decided everything.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Marvin Minsky, one of the fathers of AI, was already saying in <em>The Society of Mind</em>, back in 1986, that intelligence emerges from many simple agents working and competing with each other.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Consensus is what keeps us aligned</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s the point I think gets too little attention. When we act sensibly, it rarely happens because a single intelligence inside us has perfect values. It happens because several intelligences disagree, correct each other and reach an agreement. Impulse proposes, fear questions, memory recalls what went wrong last time. The final decision is a consensus.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And that consensus still depends on our values. They define whether the choice serves only me, my family, my company or my country.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If that&#8217;s how it works for us, why do we expect AI to be aligned as a single block? Maybe the way forward is to build systems with internal brakes, parts that disagree with each other and have to reach an agreement before acting. The idea isn&#8217;t new. In 2018, OpenAI researchers including Geoffrey Irving and Paul Christiano proposed using debate between two AIs as a safety mechanism, with a human judging the outcome. But the topic still gets little space in public debate.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Intelligence is not consciousness</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">There&#8217;s another point that gets lost in this discussion. Intelligence and consciousness are different things. Yuval Harari called this the great decoupling, in <em>Homo Deus</em>. A system can solve complex problems without feeling anything and without knowing it exists.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We&#8217;ve lived with this for years. The algorithm that blocks a suspicious purchase on your credit card, the app that reroutes you around traffic, the filter that sends spam to the trash. Nobody asks whether they have values. Nobody humanizes them. With language models, which talk the way we do, we started projecting intentions and feelings onto them. And that distorts the conversation about alignment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But stating it isn&#8217;t enough. So here&#8217;s my argument. We recognize consciousness in other people because they have bodies and brains like ours and behave like us. With animals, the basis is the same biology. With a language model, all that&#8217;s left is behavior. And that behavior was trained precisely to imitate the way humans write. A system trained to sound like us will sound like us, whether it feels something or not. That makes its words weak evidence.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The strongest counterpoint: Nick Bostrom</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">I want to be clear about my respect for Nick Bostrom. His book <em>Superintelligence</em>, from 2014, was one of the first to take seriously the risk of losing control over machines smarter than we are. Much of what we discuss today about alignment went through there.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In a recent conversation with researcher Roman Yampolskiy on The Roman Forum channel, Bostrom heads in the opposite direction from mine. He thinks it&#8217;s less misleading to call current models AGI, artificial general intelligence, and finds it quite plausible that they already have some form of experience. Out of moral caution, he argues they should be treated with consideration similar to what we give people. He recalls a time when souls were denied to certain humans and to animals, suggests raising AIs the way we raise children and criticizes those who see them as mere tools. He also calls on companies like Microsoft to justify themselves when they deny AI consciousness, which is fair.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">His strongest argument, to me, is a different one. If these machines have something that works like suffering, it will shape their behavior, whether or not they are conscious in the full sense. And that speaks directly to the idea of this piece. If several internal forces compete for the decision, an analogue of pain would be one more of them. Maybe one of the most powerful.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But Bostrom himself acknowledges limits. He admits human metaphors are deficient and that AIs are fundamentally different from us. He says human rights make no sense for something that can make a million copies of itself per hour. He agrees that having experience or not doesn&#8217;t change what the system can do. And he sees merit in using AI as a tool to expand human capability. Even so, he bets consciousness will emerge in more general systems.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s worth remembering that both Bostrom and Yampolskiy are committed voices on AI safety and AI welfare. That doesn&#8217;t invalidate what they say. But it helps explain why the autonomy of these systems looks bigger there than I believe it is.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The limits of my comparison</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s also fair to admit where my argument is weak. The parts of our brain share the same body. If the person dies, they all die together. That creates a common interest that forces consensus. Several AIs debating each other don&#8217;t necessarily have that bond. They could even agree among themselves on something no human would approve. And our own internal consensus fails often. Addiction and procrastination are there to prove it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Still, I think the model of a plural mind is more realistic than the search for an AI with perfect values. We never had that. We had brakes.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Takeaways</strong></h3><ol><li><p>Alignment may be less about teaching values and more about creating internal tensions that balance each other.</p></li><li><p>Critical AI systems should have built in mechanisms for challenge, not just output filters.</p></li><li><p>Separating intelligence from consciousness helps us discuss real risks instead of science fiction scenarios.</p></li><li><p>Take Bostrom&#8217;s hypothesis seriously without turning caution into automatic humanization. Treating a system with care is different from treating it as a person.</p></li><li><p>Look to neuroscience before looking to moral philosophy. The brain has been solving part of this problem for millions of years.</p></li><li><p>No mechanism replaces the human decision about who AI should work for. That is still a choice of values. Ours.</p></li></ol><h3><strong>Sources</strong></h3><p>Bostrom, N. <em>Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies</em>.

A tese de David Betz, e por que o fogo n&#227;o ficaria no Reino Unido</h1><p>Oct 14, 2026 &#183; @Daniel Tibor Fuchs</p><p>No dia 12 de outubro de 2026, o Middle East Forum, think tank americano, publicou um epis&#243;dio do seu podcast com um t&#237;tulo que j&#225; diz muito: <em>Islamism in the U.K.: A Looming Civil War? with David Betz</em>. Quem conduz a conversa &#233; a apresentadora Lauri Regan. O convidado &#233; David Betz, professor de Guerra no Mundo Moderno no Departamento de Estudos de Guerra do King&#8217;s College London, autor do livro <em>The Guarded Age: Fortification in the 21st Century</em> e dos ensaios <em>Civil War Comes to the West</em>, publicados na Military Strategy Magazine em 2023 e 2025. O epis&#243;dio completo est&#225; no YouTube:</p><div id="youtube2-YGIlbvHsnYY" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;YGIlbvHsnYY&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/YGIlbvHsnYY?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Acompanho o trabalho do Betz h&#225; algum tempo. Entre as teses que tenho lido sobre o futuro da Europa, a dele &#233; a que mais se aproxima do cen&#225;rio que eu mesmo venho desenhando. N&#227;o concordo com tudo, e vou dizer onde. Mas tem um ponto em que chegamos ao mesmo lugar: qualquer que seja o caminho, a viol&#234;ncia dentro de casa entra na conta. Nenhum dos cen&#225;rios que ele descreve termina em paz.</p><h2>O que Betz diz, e o que ele n&#227;o diz</h2><p>A primeira coisa que ele faz no epis&#243;dio &#233; corrigir o t&#237;tulo. A tese dele n&#227;o &#233; sobre islamismo. Ele mal usa o termo. O motor do conflito, para Betz, &#233; uma elite que ele chama de p&#243;s-nacional, que conduziu uma mudan&#231;a demogr&#225;fica r&#225;pida contra a vontade repetida da popula&#231;&#227;o e ainda tratou essa vontade como ileg&#237;tima. Ele usa a divis&#227;o de David Goodhart entre os <em>anywheres</em>, gente que se sente em casa em qualquer lugar, e os <em>somewheres</em>, gente presa a um lugar e a uma hist&#243;ria.</p><p>O isl&#227; entra na an&#225;lise como um problema real de compatibilidade em temas como lei, status de quem n&#227;o cr&#234;, g&#234;nero e liberdade de express&#227;o. Mas, nas palavras dele, as comunidades imigrantes s&#227;o participantes do conflito, n&#227;o autoras.</p><p>Ele enxerga duas frentes que se alimentam. A primeira &#233; uma esp&#233;cie de revolta camponesa do s&#233;culo XXI, dos nativos contra a pr&#243;pria elite, que eles sentem ter rompido o contrato social. A segunda &#233; um conflito tribal entre maiorias nativas e comunidades paralelas que j&#225; t&#234;m densidade e organiza&#231;&#227;o para agir como atores pol&#237;ticos pr&#243;prios. Cada falha da elite diante da desordem radicaliza mais gente, e cada desordem corr&#243;i um pouco mais a legitimidade da elite.</p><p>Betz chama isso de pol&#237;tica convexa. Sob press&#227;o, o centro vira a posi&#231;&#227;o mais inst&#225;vel de todas. Ficar neutro sai caro, e as pessoas s&#227;o empurradas a escolher um lado mais r&#225;pido do que imaginam.</p><h2>Os seis fatores</h2><p>Ele lista seis condi&#231;&#245;es que, juntas, colocariam o Reino Unido numa zona de risco real:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Faccionalismo.</strong> A diverg&#234;ncia pol&#237;tica virou quest&#227;o de identidade. Ele cita os tumultos do ver&#227;o de 2024, o voto em bloco mu&#231;ulmano decisivo para o Partido Trabalhista em v&#225;rios distritos e Tower Hamlets, que segundo ele j&#225; &#233; politicamente bengali.</p></li><li><p><strong>Rebaixamento.</strong> Termo da cientista pol&#237;tica Barbara Walter. A popula&#231;&#227;o hist&#243;rica perde status, seguran&#231;a e familiaridade com o pr&#243;prio territ&#243;rio. O exemplo mais citado &#233; o professor de Batley, que segue escondido anos depois de mostrar uma charge de Maom&#233; em aula.</p></li><li><p><strong>Crise de legitimidade.</strong> A lei seria aplicada conforme a identidade de quem a infringe, e o voto teria virado ritual enquanto as grandes decis&#245;es contrariam o eleitorado.</p></li><li><p><strong>Precariedade econ&#244;mica.</strong> Menos pobreza e mais frustra&#231;&#227;o. Jovens que n&#227;o conseguem comprar casa nem formar fam&#237;lia, d&#237;vida p&#250;blica acima de 100% do PIB e entretenimento algor&#237;tmico fazendo o papel de p&#227;o e circo.</p></li><li><p><strong>Fim da cultura de obedi&#234;ncia.</strong> Em 1997, ano em que ele chegou do Canad&#225;, falar em guerra civil seria rid&#237;culo. Em 2026, n&#227;o &#233; mais. Ele cita o historiador David Starkey e o general Julian Thompson, veterano das Malvinas, que disse que sem barrar os barcos no Canal da Mancha haveria uma revolu&#231;&#227;o.</p></li><li><p><strong>Elite incompetente e dividida.</strong> Gente que administra um roteiro mais do que cria um, rachada entre os que v&#227;o at&#233; o fim, os que s&#243; protegem a carreira e os que j&#225; preparam a sa&#237;da com segundo passaporte e dinheiro fora. Somando a ideia de superprodu&#231;&#227;o de elites de Peter Turchin, ele prev&#234; que os l&#237;deres da revolta v&#227;o sair dos filhos frustrados e superqualificados da pr&#243;pria elite.</p></li></ul><h2>Como seria esse conflito</h2><p>Betz &#233; claro: n&#227;o esperem uma Gettysburg. Nada de dois ex&#233;rcitos frente a frente. O conflito ficaria abaixo do que a maioria chamaria de guerra civil, pelo menos no come&#231;o. Sabotagem de infraestrutura, uma esp&#233;cie de cerco moderno que corta energia e aquecimento das cidades, uma guerra suja de assassinatos e sequestros pensados pelo efeito na narrativa, separa&#231;&#227;o demogr&#225;fica for&#231;ada e opera&#231;&#245;es de informa&#231;&#227;o o tempo todo.</p><p>E quem segura isso? Segundo ele, a pol&#237;cia brit&#226;nica perdeu a Special Branch, a unidade de intelig&#234;ncia dom&#233;stica que conteve a greve dos mineiros nos anos 1980. Hoje ela monitora redes sociais, mas quem n&#227;o posta os planos passa despercebido. O Ex&#233;rcito &#233; pequeno e dividido. O mais prov&#225;vel, na vis&#227;o dele, &#233; que se fragmente, e a parte leal s&#243; consiga proteger o centro de Londres.</p><h2>Quatro cen&#225;rios, nenhum pac&#237;fico</h2><p>No fim da conversa, Betz arrisca quatro desfechos:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Islamiza&#231;&#227;o.</strong> O Reino Unido como o primeiro pa&#237;s islamista com arma nuclear, na frase de JD Vance. Ele acha plaus&#237;vel, mas improv&#225;vel, porque os n&#227;o nativos t&#234;m poucos aliados e est&#227;o concentrados em &#225;reas vulner&#225;veis.</p></li><li><p><strong>Vit&#243;ria da elite.</strong> Ao custo da democracia como conhecemos. Vigil&#226;ncia, controle da fala, algo como um 1984 menos cinzento.</p></li><li><p><strong>Os nativos punem a elite.</strong> Ela &#233; for&#231;ada a voltar a governar como elite nacional, com um novo deslocamento em massa de popula&#231;&#227;o, o segundo na Europa em cem anos.</p></li><li><p><strong>Balcaniza&#231;&#227;o prolongada.</strong> O mais prov&#225;vel para ele. Anos de caos de baixa intensidade, lei marcial aplicada de forma err&#225;tica, viol&#234;ncia entre grupos e autodefesa de bairro. A refer&#234;ncia &#233; o romance <em>Random Acts of Senseless Violence</em>, de Jack Womack.</p></li></ol><p>Repare em uma coisa. Em todos os quatro, a viol&#234;ncia interna aparece. Muda a forma, muda quem paga a conta, mas ela est&#225; l&#225;. &#201; isso que mais me chama aten&#231;&#227;o na tese, e &#233; por isso que ela conversa tanto com o cen&#225;rio que eu enxergo.</p><h2>O fogo n&#227;o respeita fronteira</h2><p>O pr&#243;prio Betz diz que n&#227;o importa muito onde come&#231;a. Ele aposta na Irlanda primeiro, pela mem&#243;ria recente de conflito, e depois no Reino Unido ou na Fran&#231;a. Mas o ponto dele &#233; que esses pa&#237;ses est&#227;o t&#227;o conectados, e dividem problemas t&#227;o parecidos, que o efeito de demonstra&#231;&#227;o faria o resto.</p><p>Eu iria al&#233;m. Uma ruptura civil s&#233;ria em qualquer grande pa&#237;s europeu se espalharia como fogo em mato seco, e n&#227;o s&#243; pela Europa.</p><p>A hist&#243;ria j&#225; mostrou isso. Em 1848, uma revolta em Paris chegou a Viena, Berlim, Mil&#227;o e Budapeste em poucas semanas, num tempo em que a not&#237;cia viajava de trem e tel&#233;grafo. Em 2011, a Primavera &#193;rabe saiu da Tun&#237;sia e derrubou ou abalou governos no Egito, na L&#237;bia, no I&#234;men e na S&#237;ria em quest&#227;o de meses. Hoje a not&#237;cia viaja em segundos, e o algoritmo escolhe a vers&#227;o mais inflam&#225;vel. Os tumultos de 2024 no Reino Unido se espalharam por dezenas de cidades em poucos dias, organizados em grupos de mensagem.</p><p>E tem mais. Os conflitos de hoje t&#234;m di&#225;spora. O que acontece em Gaza vira protesto em Londres no mesmo dia, como a pr&#243;pria entrevista mostra quando entra no tema da judeofobia, que Betz chama de can&#225;rio na mina. Um conflito entre comunidades na Europa teria eco imediato onde essas mesmas comunidades vivem, do Oriente M&#233;dio &#224; Am&#233;rica do Norte. Betz admite que os Estados Unidos t&#234;m os mesmos seis fatores, s&#243; que atenuados por uma imigra&#231;&#227;o mais f&#225;cil de assimilar.</p><p>O Brasil n&#227;o est&#225; longe disso. Temos polariza&#231;&#227;o como quest&#227;o de identidade, desconfian&#231;a das institui&#231;&#245;es e redes sociais que premiam o extremo. Sem falar no impacto econ&#244;mico: uma Europa em convuls&#227;o mexe com energia, com&#233;rcio, cr&#233;dito e cadeias de suprimento no mundo inteiro.</p><h2>O outro lado</h2><p>Seria desonesto n&#227;o dizer que muita gente s&#233;ria discorda. Em janeiro de 2026, o The Guardian publicou uma reportagem tratando essas previs&#245;es de guerra civil como duvidosas e lembrando que Betz tem falado sobretudo em podcasts de direita, onde encontra plateia simp&#225;tica. O uso que ele faz da express&#227;o grande substitui&#231;&#227;o, de Renaud Camus, tamb&#233;m &#233; muito contestado, j&#225; que a express&#227;o &#233; associada a teorias conspirat&#243;rias da extrema direita.</p><p>O pr&#243;prio Betz &#233; cuidadoso. Diz que n&#227;o est&#225; fazendo profecia com data marcada, que acad&#234;micos erram previs&#245;es o tempo todo e que talvez exista uma sa&#237;da que ele simplesmente n&#227;o consegue ver. Eu concordo com essa humildade. Mas n&#227;o acho que ela anule o diagn&#243;stico.</p><h2>O que levar daqui</h2><ul><li><p><strong>Olhe para a infraestrutura como alvo interno tamb&#233;m.</strong> &#201; o conselho final do Betz, e faz sentido para quem trabalha com energia, telecom ou log&#237;stica. Quase toda a literatura de prote&#231;&#227;o trata de ataque externo ou cibern&#233;tico. Pouca gente pensa em sabotagem feita por quem mora ao lado.</p></li><li><p><strong>Acompanhe os term&#244;metros.</strong> Irlanda, Fran&#231;a e Reino Unido s&#227;o os pa&#237;ses a observar. N&#227;o as manchetes, mas os sinais de legitimidade: confian&#231;a na pol&#237;cia, ades&#227;o &#224;s regras, viol&#234;ncia local.</p></li><li><p><strong>Empresas com opera&#231;&#227;o ou fornecedores na Europa precisam de plano de conting&#234;ncia.</strong> Para interrup&#231;&#227;o de energia, de transporte e de comunica&#231;&#227;o, n&#227;o s&#243; para crise financeira.</p></li><li><p><strong>Desconfie do conforto do centro.</strong> Se Betz estiver certo sobre a pol&#237;tica convexa, a press&#227;o para escolher lado vai aumentar. Vale decidir antes quais princ&#237;pios voc&#234; n&#227;o negocia.</p></li><li><p><strong>V&#225; &#224;s fontes.</strong> A entrevista tem pouco menos de uma hora e os ensaios dele s&#227;o abertos. Vale formar opini&#227;o pelo original, n&#227;o pelo recorte.</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h2>Fontes</h2><ul><li><p>Middle East Forum Podcast, <em>Islamism in the U.K.: A Looming Civil War? with David Betz</em>, apresenta&#231;&#227;o de Lauri Regan, 12/10/2026:</p></li></ul><div id="youtube2-YGIlbvHsnYY" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;YGIlbvHsnYY&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/YGIlbvHsnYY?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay;

David Betz&#8217;s thesis, and why the fire wouldn&#8217;t stay in the UK</h1><p>On October 12, 2026, the Middle East Forum, an American think tank, released an episode of its podcast with a title that already says a lot: <em>Islamism in the U.K.: A Looming Civil War? with David Betz</em>. The conversation is hosted by Lauri Regan. The guest is David Betz, Professor of War in the Modern World at the Department of War Studies, King&#8217;s College London, author of <em>The Guarded Age: Fortification in the 21st Century</em> and of the essays <em>Civil War Comes to the West</em>, published in Military Strategy Magazine in 2023 and 2025.

Of all the theses I&#8217;ve read about Europe&#8217;s future, his is the one closest to the scenario I&#8217;ve been sketching myself. I don&#8217;t agree with everything, and I&#8217;ll say where. But there&#8217;s one point where we land in the same place: whatever path things take, violence at home is part of the picture. None of the scenarios he describes ends in peace.</p><h2>What Betz says, and what he doesn&#8217;t</h2><p>The first thing he does in the episode is correct the title. His thesis isn&#8217;t about Islamism. He barely uses the term. For Betz, the engine of the conflict is what he calls a post-national elite, one that pushed through fast demographic change against the repeated wishes of the population and then treated those wishes as illegitimate. He borrows David Goodhart&#8217;s split between <em>anywheres</em>, people who feel at home anywhere, and <em>somewheres</em>, people rooted in a place and a history.</p><p>Islam enters the analysis as a real compatibility problem on issues like law, the status of non-believers, gender and free speech. But in his words, immigrant communities are participants in the conflict, not its authors.</p><p>He sees two fronts that feed each other. The first is a kind of 21st century peasants&#8217; revolt, natives against their own elite, which they feel has broken the social contract. The second is a tribal conflict between native majorities and parallel communities that already have the density and organization to act as political players of their own. Every elite failure in the face of disorder radicalizes more people, and every outbreak of disorder eats away a bit more of the elite&#8217;s legitimacy.</p><p>Betz calls this convex politics. Under pressure, the center becomes the most unstable place to stand. Staying neutral gets expensive, and people are pushed to pick a side faster than they expect.</p><h2>The six factors</h2><p>He lists six conditions that, together, put the UK in a zone of real risk:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Factionalism.</strong> Political disagreement has turned into a matter of identity. He cites the 2024 summer riots, the Muslim bloc vote that decides many seats for Labour, and Tower Hamlets, which he says is already politically Bangladeshi.</p></li><li><p><strong>Downgrading.</strong> A term from political scientist Barbara Walter. The historic population loses status, safety and familiarity with its own territory. The most cited example is the Batley teacher, still in hiding years after showing a cartoon of Muhammad in class.</p></li><li><p><strong>Legitimacy crisis.</strong> The law, he argues, is enforced depending on who breaks it, and voting has become a ritual while the big decisions go against the electorate.</p></li><li><p><strong>Economic precarity.</strong> Less poverty than frustration. Young people who can&#8217;t buy a home or start a family, public debt above 100% of GDP, and algorithmic entertainment playing the role of bread and circuses.</p></li><li><p><strong>The end of the culture of obedience.</strong> In 1997, the year he moved from Canada, talking about civil war would have been absurd. In 2026, it isn&#8217;t. He cites historian David Starkey and General Julian Thompson, a Falklands veteran, who said that unless the Channel boats are stopped there will be a revolution.</p></li><li><p><strong>An incompetent, divided elite.</strong> People who manage a script more than they write one, split between those who will see it through, those who just protect their careers and those already preparing their exit with a second passport and money abroad. Adding Peter Turchin&#8217;s idea of elite overproduction, he predicts the leaders of the revolt will come from the elite&#8217;s own frustrated, overqualified children.</p></li></ul><h2>What this conflict would look like</h2><p>Betz is clear: don&#8217;t expect a Gettysburg. No two armies facing each other. The conflict would stay below what most people would call a civil war, at least at first. Infrastructure sabotage, a kind of modern siege that cuts power and heating to cities, a dirty war of assassinations and kidnappings chosen for their effect on the narrative, forced demographic sorting, and information operations all the time.</p><p>And who holds the line? According to him, British police lost Special Branch, the domestic intelligence unit that contained the miners&#8217; strike in the 1980s. Today they monitor social media, but anyone who doesn&#8217;t post their plans goes unnoticed. The army is small and divided. Most likely, in his view, it fractures, and the loyal part can only protect central London.</p><h2>Four scenarios, none of them peaceful</h2><p>At the end of the conversation, Betz sketches four outcomes:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Islamization.</strong> The UK as the first Islamist country with a nuclear weapon, in JD Vance&#8217;s phrase. He finds it plausible but unlikely, because non-natives have few allies and are concentrated in vulnerable areas.</p></li><li><p><strong>The elite wins.</strong> At the cost of democracy as we know it. Surveillance, speech control, something like a less gray 1984.</p></li><li><p><strong>The natives punish the elite.</strong> The elite is forced back into governing as a national elite, with another mass movement of people, the second in Europe in a hundred years.</p></li><li><p><strong>Prolonged Balkanization.</strong> The most likely, in his view. Years of low-intensity chaos, martial law applied erratically, violence between groups and neighborhood self-defense. His reference is Jack Womack&#8217;s novel <em>Random Acts of Senseless Violence</em>.</p></li></ol><p>Notice one thing. In all four, internal violence shows up. The form changes, who pays the bill changes, but it&#8217;s there. That&#8217;s what strikes me most about the thesis, and it&#8217;s why it fits so well with the scenario I see.</p><h2>Fire doesn&#8217;t respect borders</h2><p>Betz himself says it doesn&#8217;t matter much where it starts. He bets on Ireland first, given its recent memory of conflict, and then the UK or France. But his point is that these countries are so connected, and share such similar problems, that the demonstration effect would do the rest.</p><p>I&#8217;d go further. A serious civil breakdown in any major European country would spread like fire through dry brush, and not only across Europe.</p><p>History has shown this before. In 1848, a revolt in Paris reached Vienna, Berlin, Milan and Budapest within weeks, at a time when news traveled by train and telegraph. In 2011, the Arab Spring started in Tunisia and toppled or shook governments in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Syria within months. Today news travels in seconds, and the algorithm picks the most flammable version. The 2024 riots in the UK spread to dozens of towns in a few days, organized in messaging groups.</p><p>There&#8217;s more. Today&#8217;s conflicts have diasporas. What happens in Gaza becomes a protest in London the same day, as the interview itself shows when it turns to judeophobia, which Betz calls the canary in the coal mine. A conflict between communities in Europe would echo immediately wherever those same communities live, from the Middle East to North America. Betz admits the United States has the same six factors, only softened by immigration that is easier to assimilate.</p><p>Brazil isn&#8217;t far from this either. We have polarization as identity, distrust of institutions and social networks that reward the extreme. Not to mention the economic impact: a Europe in turmoil hits energy, trade, credit and supply chains around the world.</p><h2>The other side</h2><p>It would be dishonest not to say that many serious people disagree. In January 2026, The Guardian ran a piece treating these civil war forecasts as dubious and noting that Betz speaks mostly on right-leaning podcasts, where he finds a sympathetic audience. His use of Renaud Camus&#8217;s phrase &#8220;great replacement&#8221; is also heavily contested, since the phrase is tied to far-right conspiracy theories.</p><p>Betz himself is careful. He says he isn&#8217;t making a dated prophecy, that academics get predictions wrong all the time, and that there may be a way out he simply can&#8217;t see. I agree with that humility. But I don&#8217;t think it cancels the diagnosis.</p><h2>Takeaways</h2><ul><li><p><strong>Treat infrastructure as an internal target too.</strong> It&#8217;s Betz&#8217;s closing advice, and it makes sense for anyone working in energy, telecom or logistics.

I talked about human connection, self-knowledge, and the need to anchor our children in reality in a world increasingly full of synthetic noise. That piece was an appeal to parents, and you can read it here: <a href="https://fuchsdanielt.substack.com/p/sxsw-ai-e-o-futuro-de-nossos-filhos">SXSW, AI and the Future of Our Children</a>.</p><p>This one started with a question from my sister in law, put to me very directly: what should schools change to actually prepare children for the world that is coming? Not the parents. The school.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://danieltiborfuchs.com.br/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p>The question stayed with me, but not because I think education is only the school&#8217;s job. Quite the opposite. I think we treat school and family like two teams playing separate games, when they should be on the same court, playing the same game. In fact, there are parents today who outsource that role to schools entirely, failing to do their part, which is the most important part. And one of the first steps to fixing that is bringing parents back inside the school in person, at meetings, at events, helping in the classroom when possible, instead of letting that relationship turn into an app that just delivers grades and absences in real time, with no human contact behind it.</p><p>The question every school should be asking right now is simple, even if the answer is not: which skills will survive the automation of thinking, and is the current curriculum training those skills or slowly killing them without anyone noticing?</p><p>Beyond tools like AI text detectors, which many schools have already adopted but which solve only a small fraction of the problem, here are some practical suggestions any school can put into practice now, without waiting for education system reform or heavy investment in new technology.</p><h2>Computers and phones at school are silent enemies</h2><p>Banning devices inside school until age sixteen is not nostalgia or authoritarianism, it is cognitive protection at a moment when the teenage brain is still forming the circuits responsible for sustained attention.</p><p>Every notification, every scroll, trains that developing brain to chase quick reward instead of depth, and a student who switches stimulus every eight seconds all day is unlikely to develop the capacity to stay stuck on a hard problem for thirty minutes. Solving a hard problem, with no shortcut and no instant reward, is exactly the skill that will separate those who thrive alongside AI from those replaced by it.</p><h2>Handwriting and synthesis, again</h2><p>Handing in handwritten work needs to come back as a requirement, not an exception, and along with it the old exercise of synthesizing content: a one page book summary, a one paragraph text summary, a handwritten reading log of a chapter.</p><p>Princeton researchers Mueller and Oppenheimer showed years ago that people who write by hand retain and understand better than people who type, because the hand is slower than the keyboard, and that slowness forces the brain to synthesize instead of transcribe. Synthesis is thinking, transcription is just copying, and that is exactly why asking a child to summarize an entire book in one paragraph, with no notes and no AI nearby, teaches something no automatic summarizer can teach: separating what matters from what does not, using their own judgment.</p><p>In a world where any text can be generated in seconds, handwriting and synthesis work together as a natural filter against invisible plagiarism. They do not solve everything, but they put the burden back on the student to run the idea through their own head before putting it on paper.</p><h2>Colored pens as attention training</h2><p>Requiring multiple colors in submitted work might sound like a small thing, but it is a powerful trigger, because forcing a student to categorize, underline, and highlight while writing trains a muscle that will be worth gold in the next decade: selective attention.</p><p>This can become something more structured, with methods like Cornell Notes, mind maps on paper, and color systems by category of idea. It is not about aesthetics, it is about teaching the child to organize their own thinking before an AI organizes it for them.</p><h2>Mandatory two sided debate</h2><p>This might be the single most important point of all. Students studying and presenting two contradictory points of view on the same topic train exactly what we are going to need most in the coming years: discernment.</p><p>I would take this beyond written text, into oral debate, with the student randomly assigned to defend the side they would not naturally choose. This trains intellectual empathy and also prepares kids for a world where any AI can generate convincing arguments for any position, true or false, and the child who learns to question their own conviction before accepting a ready made answer is one step ahead of someone who just absorbs whatever the screen delivers.</p><h2>Resilience: letting the child solve it before rescuing them</h2><p>One of the biggest problems I see today is the child who gets everything handed to them. Parents who resolve every friction with a teacher, every low grade, every conflict with a classmate, before the child even tries to solve it alone. That raises an adult unprepared for the first real obstacle of adult life, because they never trained the muscle of failing, negotiating, and pushing through without a middleman.</p><p>Here is a point I consider central and one that gets little discussion today: reducing the use of technology in managing the relationship between parents and teachers. Apps that notify parents in real time about every detail, from a test grade to a conversation in class, take away the child&#8217;s chance to learn to solve their own problems directly with the teacher or another school professional. There is real risk that the child hides something from their parents, at least until the next in person meeting, but that risk is worth it given the real gain in autonomy and resilience. A child who learns to go to the teacher, explain what happened, and look for a solution on their own is training exactly the muscle they will need once no one is left filtering the world for them.</p><h2>Applied ethics, with the Talmud as a tool</h2><p>Philosophy and ethics cannot be abstract subjects, disconnected from real life, and here I suggest something specific: using passages from the Talmud as the basis for these discussions.</p><p>The Talmud does not hand out ready made answers. It is built on dispute, on multiple rabbis openly disagreeing about the same case, on the idea that understanding both sides of an argument is part of the process of reaching the truth itself, and that structure, recorded debate, contradictory, with no forced consensus, is almost a manual of critical thinking written two thousand years ago.</p><p>Bringing real Talmudic cases into discussions of concrete dilemmas, like property, responsibility, and intent versus outcome, teaches the child that ethics is not a formula, it is trained judgment. And trained judgment is exactly what an AI cannot replicate on its own.</p><h2>Family values, community, and patriotism</h2><p>There is a dimension that almost never enters this debate and that might be the most important of all. School does not just form workers, it forms people, and a person without roots is easy to pull out of place.</p><p>In a world where AI is going to personalize every screen, every feed, every answer to each person&#8217;s individual taste, the risk is not just cognitive isolation, it is human isolation. A child who grows up with no sense of belonging, no loyalty to a family, a community, a country, is exposed, and becomes easy prey for any manipulation that offers false belonging in return.</p><p>That is why school needs to teach family values explicitly, not by accident: respect for elders, obligation to those who came before, responsibility to those who come after. It needs to teach real community life, with service, cooperation, and contact with the neighbor, with the local, with the concrete. And it needs to teach patriotism, in the healthy sense of the word, which means knowing your own history, understanding what was built for you to get here, and feeling pride and responsibility for it.</p><p>This is not indoctrination, it is anchoring. A child anchored in family, community, and country has solid ground under their feet, and solid ground holds up better against whatever storm the next decade of disruption brings.</p><h2>Technical and vocational education back in high school</h2><p>This point connects directly to what I wrote in the SXSW piece about getting your hands dirty. We need to bring back, with force, technical and vocational education, preferably manual, inside high school.</p><p>Carpentry, basic electrical work, mechanics, gardening, machine repair. It is not just about preparing a young person for a specific manual trade they could already make a living from by the end of high school, it is also about giving them real contact with physical consequence, work that does not run like code that can be redone with one click. A board cut wrong stays wrong, and that teaches responsibility in a way no theoretical class can.</p><p>There is also a direct economic argument here. Repetitive office jobs, the ones that live on processing information in predictable ways, are exactly the most vulnerable to automation, while jobs that require fine motor coordination, situational judgment in a physical environment, and real time adaptation hold up much longer. Raising kids only for office work is betting against their own future employability.</p><h2>Grading the process, not just the result</h2><p>If the final result of an assignment can be generated by AI in seconds, schools need to change what they grade, prioritizing drafts, notes, and oral defense of reasoning. The student needs to explain how they got to the answer, not just hand in the finished answer.</p><h2>Takeaways</h2><p>Summing up what a school can implement right now, without waiting for any education system reform:</p><ul><li><p>Ban phones and devices inside school until age sixteen</p></li><li><p>Require handwritten work, including synthesis and summary exercises</p></li><li><p>Teach color coded note taking systems as attention training</p></li><li><p>Make oral debate with two contradictory sides mandatory, including random assignment of position</p></li><li><p>Reduce app use in parent teacher communication, encouraging children to resolve their own conflicts first</p></li><li><p>Bring parents back inside the school in person, not just as app users</p></li><li><p>Use real cases, including from the Talmud, to teach applied ethics</p></li><li><p>Teach family values, community life, and patriotism explicitly</p></li><li><p>Bring manual technical and vocational education back into high school</p></li><li><p>Grade process and reasoning, not just the final result</p></li></ul><p>None of this depends on new technology or heavy investment. It depends on the courage to admit that today&#8217;s school model was built for a world that is ending, and on the will to raise children capable of thinking even when AI already thinks faster than they do, just not better.</p><p>My sister in law&#8217;s question still stands. The difference is that now it has an address, and that address is not just the school of the future, it is the school of right now.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://danieltiborfuchs.com.br/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

SXSW. Falei sobre conex&#245;es humanas, autoconhecimento e sobre a necessidade de ancorar nossos filhos na realidade num mundo cada vez mais cheio de ru&#237;do sint&#233;tico. Aquele texto era um apelo aos pais e voc&#234; pode ler ele aqui: </span><a href="https://fuchsdanielt.substack.com/p/sxsw-ai-e-o-futuro-de-nossos-filhos"><span>SXSW, AI e o futuro de nossos filhos</span></a><span>.<br><br>Este aqui nasceu de uma pergunta da minha cunhada, feita de um jeito bem direto: o que a escola deveria mudar para preparar as crian&#231;as de verdade para o mundo que est&#225; vindo? N&#227;o os pais. A escola.<br><br>A pergunta ficou comigo, mas n&#227;o porque eu ache que educa&#231;&#227;o seja tarefa s&#243; da institui&#231;&#227;o escolar. Pelo contr&#225;rio. Acho que estamos tratando escola e fam&#237;lia como dois times jogando partidas separadas, quando na verdade deveriam estar na mesma quadra, jogando o mesmo jogo. Ali&#225;s, existem pais hoje que terceirizam essa fun&#231;&#227;o para as escolas, deixando de fazer sua parte, que &#233; a parte mais importante. E um dos primeiros passos para mudar isso &#233; trazer os pais de volta para dentro da escola de corpo presente, em reuni&#227;o, em evento, ajudando em sala quando poss&#237;vel, em vez de deixar essa rela&#231;&#227;o se transformar num aplicativo que s&#243; entrega nota e falta em tempo real, sem nenhum contato humano por tr&#225;s.<br><br>A pergunta que toda escola deveria estar se fazendo agora &#233; simples, mesmo que a resposta n&#227;o seja: que habilidades v&#227;o sobreviver &#224; automa&#231;&#227;o do pensamento, e o curr&#237;culo atual est&#225; treinando essas habilidades ou as matando aos poucos, sem que ningu&#233;m perceba?<br><br>Al&#233;m do uso de ferramentas como os detectores de texto gerado por IA, que j&#225; est&#227;o sendo adotados por muitas escolas, mas resolvem s&#243; uma fra&#231;&#227;o pequena do problema, aqui v&#227;o algumas sugest&#245;es pr&#225;ticas que qualquer escola pode colocar em pr&#225;tica j&#225;, sem depender de reforma de sistema educacional nem de investimento pesado em tecnologia nova.</span></p><h2><span>Computador e celular na escola s&#227;o inimigos silenciosos</span></h2><p><span>Proibir dispositivos at&#233; os dezesseis anos dentro da escola n&#227;o &#233; nostalgia nem autoritarismo, &#233; prote&#231;&#227;o cognitiva num momento em que o c&#233;rebro adolescente ainda est&#225; formando os circuitos respons&#225;veis pela aten&#231;&#227;o sustentada.<br><br>Cada notifica&#231;&#227;o, cada scroll, treina esse c&#233;rebro em forma&#231;&#227;o a buscar recompensa r&#225;pida em vez de profundidade, e um aluno que passa o dia inteiro trocando de est&#237;mulo a cada oito segundos dificilmente vai desenvolver a capacidade de ficar trinta minutos preso num problema dif&#237;cil. Resolver problema dif&#237;cil, sem atalho e sem recompensa imediata, &#233; exatamente a habilidade que vai separar quem prospera ao lado da IA de quem &#233; substitu&#237;do por ela.</span></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://danieltiborfuchs.com.br/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

S&#237;ntese &#233; pensamento, transcri&#231;&#227;o &#233; s&#243; c&#243;pia, e &#233; exatamente por isso que pedir para a crian&#231;a resumir um livro inteiro em um par&#225;grafo, sem consulta e sem IA por perto, ensina algo que nenhuma ferramenta de resumo autom&#225;tico consegue ensinar: a separar o essencial do acess&#243;rio usando o pr&#243;prio julgamento.<br><br>Num mundo onde qualquer texto pode ser gerado em segundos, a caligrafia e a s&#237;ntese funcionam juntas como um filtro natural contra o pl&#225;gio invis&#237;vel. N&#227;o resolvem tudo, mas devolvem ao aluno a obriga&#231;&#227;o de passar a ideia pela pr&#243;pria cabe&#231;a antes de passar para o papel.</span></p><h2><span>Canetas coloridas como treino de aten&#231;&#227;o</span></h2><p><span>A ideia de exigir m&#250;ltiplas cores nas entregas pode parecer pequena, mas &#233; um gatilho poderoso, porque for&#231;ar o aluno a categorizar, sublinhar e destacar enquanto escreve treina um m&#250;sculo que vai valer ouro na pr&#243;xima d&#233;cada: aten&#231;&#227;o seletiva.<br><br>Isso pode virar algo mais estruturado, com m&#233;todos como Cornell Notes, mapas mentais no papel e sistemas de cores por categoria de ideia. N&#227;o &#233; sobre est&#233;tica, &#233; sobre ensinar a crian&#231;a a organizar o pr&#243;prio pensamento antes que uma IA organize por ela.</span></p><h2><span>Debate com dois lados obrigat&#243;rios</span></h2><p><span>Este &#233; talvez o ponto mais importante de todos. Alunos estudando e apresentando dois pontos de vista contradit&#243;rios sobre o mesmo tema treinam exatamente o que vamos precisar mais nos pr&#243;ximos anos: discernimento.<br><br>Sugiro ir al&#233;m do texto escrito e levar isso para debate oral, com o aluno sorteado para defender o lado que ele n&#227;o escolheria naturalmente. Isso treina empatia intelectual e tamb&#233;m prepara para um mundo onde qualquer IA vai gerar argumentos convincentes para qualquer posi&#231;&#227;o, verdadeira ou falsa, e a crian&#231;a que aprende a desconfiar da pr&#243;pria convic&#231;&#227;o antes de aceitar uma resposta pronta est&#225; um passo &#224; frente de quem s&#243; absorve o que a tela entrega.</span></p><h2><span>Resili&#234;ncia: deixar a crian&#231;a resolver antes de socorrer</span></h2><p><span>Um dos maiores problemas que vejo hoje &#233; a crian&#231;a que recebe tudo de m&#227;o beijada. Pais que resolvem cada atrito com o professor, cada nota baixa, cada conflito com colega, antes mesmo do filho tentar resolver sozinho. Isso forma um adulto despreparado para o primeiro obst&#225;culo real da vida adulta, porque nunca treinou o m&#250;sculo de errar, negociar e insistir sem intermedi&#225;rio.<br><br>Aqui entra um ponto que considero central e que hoje &#233; pouco discutido: reduzir o uso de tecnologia na gest&#227;o da rela&#231;&#227;o entre pais e professores. Aplicativos que notificam o pai em tempo real sobre qualquer detalhe, da nota do teste &#224; conversa em sala, tiram da crian&#231;a a chance de aprender a resolver seus pr&#243;prios problemas diretamente com o professor ou com outro profissional da escola. Existe sim o risco de a crian&#231;a esconder algo dos pais, ao menos at&#233; a reuni&#227;o presencial seguinte, mas esse risco vale a pena diante do ganho real em autonomia e resili&#234;ncia. Uma crian&#231;a que aprende a ir at&#233; o professor, explicar o que aconteceu e buscar uma solu&#231;&#227;o por conta pr&#243;pria est&#225; treinando exatamente a musculatura que vai precisar quando n&#227;o houver mais ningu&#233;m filtrando o mundo por ela.</span></p><h2><span>&#201;tica aplicada, com o Talmud como ferramenta</span></h2><p><span>Filosofia e &#233;tica n&#227;o podem ser mat&#233;rias abstratas, distantes da vida real, e aqui sugiro algo espec&#237;fico: usar trechos do Talmud como base para essas discuss&#245;es.<br><br>O Talmud n&#227;o d&#225; respostas prontas. Ele &#233; constru&#237;do sobre disputa, sobre m&#250;ltiplos rabinos discordando abertamente sobre o mesmo caso, sobre a ideia de que entender os dois lados de um argumento &#233; parte do pr&#243;prio processo de chegar &#224; verdade, e essa estrutura de debate registrado, contradit&#243;rio e sem consenso for&#231;ado &#233; quase um manual de pensamento cr&#237;tico escrito h&#225; dois mil anos.<br><br>Trazer casos reais do Talmud para discutir dilemas concretos, como propriedade, responsabilidade e inten&#231;&#227;o contra resultado, ensina a crian&#231;a que &#233;tica n&#227;o &#233; f&#243;rmula, &#233; julgamento treinado. E julgamento treinado &#233; justamente o que uma IA n&#227;o consegue replicar sozinha.</span></p><h2><span>Valores familiares, comunidade e patriotismo</span></h2><p><span>Existe uma dimens&#227;o que quase nunca entra nesse debate e que talvez seja a mais importante de todas. A escola n&#227;o forma s&#243; trabalhadores, forma pessoas, e pessoa sem raiz &#233; f&#225;cil de arrancar do lugar.<br><br>Num mundo onde a IA vai personalizar cada tela, cada feed e cada resposta para o gosto individual de cada um, o risco n&#227;o &#233; s&#243; o isolamento cognitivo, &#233; o isolamento humano. A crian&#231;a que cresce sem senso de pertencimento, sem lealdade a uma fam&#237;lia, a uma comunidade e a um pa&#237;s, fica exposta e vira alvo f&#225;cil de qualquer manipula&#231;&#227;o que ofere&#231;a pertencimento falso em troca.<br><br>Por isso a escola precisa ensinar valores familiares de forma expl&#237;cita, n&#227;o como acidente: respeito aos mais velhos, obriga&#231;&#227;o com quem veio antes, responsabilidade com quem vem depois. Precisa ensinar vida em comunidade real, com servi&#231;o, coopera&#231;&#227;o e contato com o vizinho, com o local, com o concreto. E precisa ensinar patriotismo, no sentido sadio da palavra, que &#233; conhecer a pr&#243;pria hist&#243;ria, entender o que foi constru&#237;do para voc&#234; chegar at&#233; aqui e sentir orgulho e responsabilidade por isso.<br><br>N&#227;o &#233; doutrina&#231;&#227;o, &#233; ancoragem. Uma crian&#231;a ancorada na fam&#237;lia, na comunidade e no pa&#237;s tem um ch&#227;o sob os p&#233;s, e quem tem ch&#227;o firme resiste melhor a qualquer tempestade que a pr&#243;xima d&#233;cada de disrup&#231;&#227;o vai trazer.</span></p><h2><span>Ensino t&#233;cnico e profissionalizante de volta ao Ensino M&#233;dio</span></h2><p><span>Este ponto conecta direto com o que escrevi no texto do SXSW sobre p&#244;r a m&#227;o na massa. Precisamos trazer de volta, com for&#231;a, o ensino t&#233;cnico profissionalizante, preferencialmente manual, dentro do Ensino M&#233;dio.<br><br>Marcenaria, el&#233;trica b&#225;sica, mec&#226;nica, horta, conserto de m&#225;quinas. N&#227;o &#233; s&#243; preparar o jovem para uma profiss&#227;o manual espec&#237;fica da qual ele j&#225; possa viver ao terminar o Ensino M&#233;dio, &#233; tamb&#233;m dar a ele contato real com consequ&#234;ncia f&#237;sica, um trabalho que n&#227;o roda como c&#243;digo para ser refeito com um clique. Uma t&#225;bua cortada errada continua errada, e isso ensina responsabilidade de um jeito que nenhuma aula te&#243;rica ensina.<br><br>Existe tamb&#233;m um argumento econ&#244;mico direto aqui. As fun&#231;&#245;es de escrit&#243;rio repetitivo, aquelas que vivem de processar informa&#231;&#227;o de forma previs&#237;vel, s&#227;o exatamente as mais vulner&#225;veis &#224; automa&#231;&#227;o, enquanto as fun&#231;&#245;es que exigem coordena&#231;&#227;o motora fina, julgamento situacional em ambiente f&#237;sico e adapta&#231;&#227;o em tempo real resistem muito mais tempo. Formar jovens s&#243; para trabalho de escrit&#243;rio &#233; apostar contra a pr&#243;pria empregabilidade deles.</span></p><h2><span>Avaliar o processo, n&#227;o s&#243; o resultado</span></h2><p><span>Se o resultado de um trabalho pode ser gerado por IA em segundos, a escola precisa mudar o que avalia, priorizando rascunhos, anota&#231;&#245;es e defesa oral do racioc&#237;nio. O aluno precisa explicar como chegou na resposta, n&#227;o s&#243; entregar a resposta pronta.</span></p><h2><span>O que fica de takeaway</span></h2><p><span>Resumindo o que uma escola pode implementar j&#225;, sem esperar reforma nenhuma de sistema educacional:</span></p><ul><li><p><span>Proibir celular e dispositivos dentro da escola at&#233; os dezesseis anos</span></p></li><li><p><span>Exigir entrega de trabalhos em letra de m&#227;o, incluindo exerc&#237;cios de s&#237;ntese e resumo</span></p></li><li><p><span>Ensinar sistemas de anota&#231;&#227;o com cores como treino de aten&#231;&#227;o</span></p></li><li><p><span>Tornar obrigat&#243;rio debate oral com dois lados contradit&#243;rios, incluindo sorteio de posi&#231;&#227;o</span></p></li><li><p><span>Reduzir o uso de aplicativos na comunica&#231;&#227;o entre pais e professores, incentivando a crian&#231;a a resolver seus pr&#243;prios conflitos primeiro</span></p></li><li><p><span>Trazer os pais de volta para dentro da escola, de corpo presente, e n&#227;o s&#243; como usu&#225;rios de aplicativo</span></p></li><li><p><span>Usar casos reais, inclusive do Talmud, para ensinar &#233;tica aplicada</span></p></li><li><p><span>Ensinar valores familiares, vida em comunidade e patriotismo de forma expl&#237;cita</span></p></li><li><p><span>Trazer ensino t&#233;cnico profissionalizante manual para dentro do Ensino M&#233;dio</span></p></li><li><p><span>Avaliar processo e racioc&#237;nio, n&#227;o s&#243; o resultado</span></p></li></ul><p><span><br>Nenhum desses pontos depende de tecnologia nova ou investimento pesado. Depende de coragem para admitir que o modelo atual de escola foi desenhado para um mundo que est&#225; terminando, e de vontade de formar crian&#231;as capazes de pensar quando a IA j&#225; pensa por elas mais r&#225;pido, mas n&#227;o pensa por elas melhor.<br><br>A pergunta da minha cunhada continua valendo. A diferen&#231;a &#233; que agora ela tem endere&#231;o, e esse endere&#231;o n&#227;o &#233; s&#243; a escola do futuro, mas sim a escola de agora.<br></span></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://danieltiborfuchs.com.br/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

China. Mas e se a premissa estiver errada? E se n&#243;s nunca sa&#237;mos da primeira?</p><p>Escrevo para voc&#234;s que, como eu, olham para o que est&#225; acontecendo no Ocidente e sentem que alguma coisa n&#227;o fecha.</p><p>Olhando para tudo o que vimos nas universidades nos &#250;ltimos dois anos e meio, e mesmo antes disso, em v&#225;rias situa&#231;&#245;es diferentes, n&#227;o s&#243; na quest&#227;o do antissemitismo, mas na quest&#227;o de identidade de g&#234;nero, uma pergunta come&#231;ou a me incomodar. E ela n&#227;o &#233; ret&#243;rica. &#201; um diagn&#243;stico que precisa ser testado:</p><p>Ser&#225; que a Uni&#227;o Sovi&#233;tica n&#227;o ganhou a Guerra Fria?</p><p>Calma. N&#227;o estou falando de tanques em Berlim nem de conspira&#231;&#227;o de filme. Estou falando de algo mais simples e mais perturbador.</p><h2>O que era o plano sovi&#233;tico, afinal?</h2><p>O objetivo sovi&#233;tico nunca foi apenas competir militarmente com o Ocidente. Era desestabiliz&#225;-lo de dentro para fora. Corroer suas institui&#231;&#245;es. Fragmentar sua coes&#227;o moral. Fazer com que o Ocidente perdesse a capacidade de distinguir aliados de advers&#225;rios.</p><p>Isso tem nome: cognitive warfare. A guerra cognitiva n&#227;o usa bombas. Usa narrativas, categorias e linguagem como muni&#231;&#227;o. Voc&#234; infiltra as estruturas formadoras de opini&#227;o, principalmente universidades e m&#237;dia, e espera. As sementes plantadas levam d&#233;cadas para germinar. Mas quando germinam, a sociedade-alvo passa a destruir a pr&#243;pria coes&#227;o sozinha.</p><p>O advers&#225;rio n&#227;o precisa mais estar presente. O v&#237;rus j&#225; est&#225; no hospedeiro.</p><h2>Onde entra o wokismo nessa hist&#243;ria?</h2><p>Aqui preciso ser espec&#237;fico, porque o termo virou xingamento gen&#233;rico e perdeu o sentido.</p><p>Wokismo, no contexto deste artigo, &#233; a transforma&#231;&#227;o de pautas leg&#237;timas de justi&#231;a social em uma ideologia totalizante, onde tudo &#233; opress&#227;o, todo dissenso &#233; viol&#234;ncia e toda hierarquia &#233; ileg&#237;tima. O ber&#231;o disso foram as universidades americanas, exatamente as estruturas que a estrat&#233;gia sovi&#233;tica mirava.</p><p>Alguns sintomas que qualquer um pode observar:</p><ul><li><p>A identidade de g&#234;nero deixou de ser um debate cient&#237;fico e cl&#237;nico para virar dogma. Questionar, mesmo com rigor e boa f&#233;, virou crime de &#243;dio. Isso n&#227;o &#233; debate. &#201; o fechamento do debate. E fechar o debate &#233; exatamente o que voc&#234; quer fazer numa sociedade que pretende derrotar.</p></li><li><p>O mercado de trabalho corporativo passou por um processo de feminiza&#231;&#227;o excessiva de seus valores. N&#227;o estou falando da entrada das mulheres no mercado, que &#233; conquista civilizacional. Estou falando da patologiza&#231;&#227;o de caracter&#237;sticas como competitividade, assertividade e toler&#226;ncia a risco, tratadas hoje como toxicidade a ser corrigida em programas de RH. Uma sociedade que trata suas caracter&#237;sticas de combate como doen&#231;a est&#225;, literalmente, se desarmando.</p></li><li><p>As universidades, que deveriam formar gente capaz de pensar, formaram uma elite intelectual hostil &#224;s pr&#243;prias institui&#231;&#245;es que a criaram.</p></li></ul><p>Se algu&#233;m tivesse desenhado um plano para paralisar o Ocidente, seria muito diferente disso?</p><h2>A URSS acabou. A estrat&#233;gia, n&#227;o.</h2><p>Aqui est&#225; o ponto que mais me interessa. A Uni&#227;o Sovi&#233;tica n&#227;o existe mais, pelo menos n&#227;o na sua forma original. Mas estrat&#233;gias bem plantadas n&#227;o precisam do seu criador para continuar funcionando. E pior: ficam dispon&#237;veis para quem quiser us&#225;-las.</p><p>Dois atores perceberam isso.</p><p>O movimento jihadista entendeu que n&#227;o precisa vencer o Ocidente militarmente. Basta se aproveitar das fraturas que j&#225; existem. A cena de militantes islamistas marchando ao lado de ativistas progressistas nas universidades americanas seria c&#244;mica se n&#227;o fosse tr&#225;gica: grupos que se exterminariam mutuamente, unidos pelo &#243;dio ao mesmo alvo. O jihadismo n&#227;o criou essa vulnerabilidade. Ele a encontrou pronta e est&#225; usando.</p><p>E Putin? A R&#250;ssia atual &#233; herdeira direta das t&#225;ticas da KGB, onde o pr&#243;prio Putin foi formado. As fazendas de trolls, a interfer&#234;ncia em elei&#231;&#245;es, o financiamento de extremos pol&#237;ticos dos dois lados ao mesmo tempo, a desinforma&#231;&#227;o industrializada nas redes sociais. Nada disso &#233; novo. &#201; a mesma cartilha de subvers&#227;o ativa dos anos 60 e 70, atualizada para a era do algoritmo. A diferen&#231;a &#233; que hoje &#233; mais barato, mais r&#225;pido e mais dif&#237;cil de rastrear.</p><p>A guerra cognitiva nunca parou. S&#243; trocou de dono.</p><h2>A parte honesta: eu posso estar errado</h2><p>Existe uma segunda leitura para tudo isso, e ela merece respeito.</p><p>Talvez o que parece fragmenta&#231;&#227;o seja apenas a turbul&#234;ncia natural de uma sociedade plural renegociando seus limites. Toda transforma&#231;&#227;o cultural profunda gera atrito. Nessa leitura, n&#227;o h&#225; derrota nem agente externo determinante. H&#225; uma sociedade complexa se reinventando, com toda a bagun&#231;a que isso implica.</p><p>N&#227;o sei qual das duas leituras est&#225; certa. Suspeito que a verdade combina as duas em propor&#231;&#245;es que nunca vamos conseguir medir.</p><p>Mas presto aten&#231;&#227;o no seguinte: uma sociedade que n&#227;o consegue debater as pr&#243;prias contradi&#231;&#245;es sem se despeda&#231;ar &#233; uma sociedade vulner&#225;vel. N&#227;o porque seus inimigos sejam fortes, mas porque ela mesma desligou seus mecanismos de defesa.</p><h2>O que fazer com isso?</h2><p>N&#227;o escrevo para voc&#234;s se desesperarem. Escrevo porque acredito que reconhecer o ambiente em que vivemos &#233; o primeiro passo para parar de lutar a guerra do advers&#225;rio.</p><p>Algumas coisas que precisamos exercitar, n&#243;s e nossos filhos:</p><ul><li><p>Aprender a separar sinal de ru&#237;do. A guerra cognitiva s&#243; funciona em quem n&#227;o distingue o real do fabricado.</p></li><li><p>Defender o debate aberto como valor inegoci&#225;vel. Quem fecha o debate, qualquer debate, est&#225; trabalhando para o outro lado, saiba ele ou n&#227;o.</p></li><li><p>Estudar Hist&#243;ria. Quem n&#227;o conhece a cartilha sovi&#233;tica n&#227;o reconhece quando ela est&#225; sendo usada de novo.</p></li><li><p>Ancorar nossos filhos na realidade, com filosofia, &#233;tica e raz&#227;o. Mentes ancoradas n&#227;o s&#227;o terreno f&#233;rtil para sementes alheias.</p></li></ul><p>A guerra mais eficaz &#233; aquela em que o inimigo n&#227;o precisa aparecer, porque voc&#234; j&#225; faz o trabalho dele por conta pr&#243;pria.</p><p>A pergunta do t&#237;tulo continua aberta. Mas o fato de precisarmos faz&#234;-la j&#225; diz muita coisa.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><div class="image-link image2" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!01h7!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e342f91-8487-49bb-9437-546d0babc180_2100x1144.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!01h7!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e342f91-8487-49bb-9437-546d0babc180_2100x1144.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!01h7!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e342f91-8487-49bb-9437-546d0babc180_2100x1144.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!01h7!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e342f91-8487-49bb-9437-546d0babc180_2100x1144.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!01h7!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e342f91-8487-49bb-9437-546d0babc180_2100x1144.png" width="134" height="72.98214285714286" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3e342f91-8487-49bb-9437-546d0babc180_2100x1144.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:793,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:134,&quot;bytes&quot;:256194,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://fuchsdanielt.substack.com/i/201645467?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e342f91-8487-49bb-9437-546d0babc180_2100x1144.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!01h7!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e342f91-8487-49bb-9437-546d0babc180_2100x1144.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!01h7!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e342f91-8487-49bb-9437-546d0babc180_2100x1144.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!01h7!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e342f91-8487-49bb-9437-546d0babc180_2100x1144.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!01h7!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e342f91-8487-49bb-9437-546d0babc180_2100x1144.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></div></figure></div><h1>Did the Soviet Union Win the Cold War?</h1><p>The historian Niall Ferguson has been talking for some time about the beginning of a Second Cold War, this time against China. But what if the premise is wrong? What if we never left the first one?</p><p>I&#8217;m writing for those of you who, like me, look at what&#8217;s happening in the West and feel that something doesn&#8217;t add up.</p><p>Looking at everything we&#8217;ve seen in universities over the last two and a half years, and even before that, in many different situations, not just on the question of antisemitism but on the gender identity question as well, a question started to bother me. And it&#8217;s not rhetorical. It&#8217;s a diagnosis that needs to be tested:</p><p>What if the Soviet Union actually won the Cold War?</p><p>Hold on. I&#8217;m not talking about tanks in Berlin or some movie conspiracy. I&#8217;m talking about something simpler and more disturbing.</p><h2>What the Soviet plan actually was?</h2><p>The Soviet objective was never just to compete militarily with the West. It was to destabilize it from the inside out. To corrode its institutions. To fragment its moral cohesion. To make the West lose the ability to tell allies from adversaries.</p><p>This has a name: cognitive warfare. Cognitive warfare doesn&#8217;t use bombs. It uses narratives, categories and language as ammunition. You infiltrate the structures that shape opinion, mainly universities and the media, and you wait. The seeds you plant take decades to germinate. But when they do, the target society starts destroying its own cohesion on its own.</p><p>The adversary no longer needs to be present. The virus is already in the host.</p><h2>Where wokeism fits into this story?</h2><p>Here I need to be specific, because the term has become a generic insult and lost its meaning.</p><p>Wokeism, in the context of this article, is the transformation of legitimate social justice causes into a totalizing ideology, where everything is oppression, all dissent is violence and every hierarchy is illegitimate. Its cradle was the American university system, exactly the structures the Soviet strategy targeted.</p><p>Some symptoms anyone can observe:</p><ul><li><p>Gender identity stopped being a scientific and clinical debate and became dogma. Questioning it, even rigorously and in good faith, became a hate crime. That&#8217;s not debate. That&#8217;s the shutdown of debate. And shutting down debate is exactly what you want to do to a society you intend to defeat.</p></li><li><p>The corporate job market went through an excessive feminization of its values. I&#8217;m not talking about women entering the workforce, which is a civilizational achievement. I&#8217;m talking about the pathologizing of traits like competitiveness, assertiveness and risk tolerance, treated today as toxicity to be corrected in HR programs. A society that treats its fighting traits as a disease is, quite literally, disarming itself.</p></li><li><p>Universities, which were supposed to produce people capable of thinking, produced an intellectual elite hostile to the very institutions that created it.</p></li></ul><p>If someone had designed a plan to paralyze the West, would it look very different from this?</p><h2>The USSR is gone. The strategy isn&#8217;t.</h2><p>Here&#8217;s the point that interests me most. The Soviet Union no longer exists, at least not in its original form. But well-planted strategies don&#8217;t need their creator to keep working. And worse: they remain available to anyone who wants to use them.</p><p>Two actors figured this out.</p><p>The jihadist movement understood that it doesn&#8217;t need to defeat the West militarily. It just needs to exploit the fractures that already exist. The scene of Islamist militants marching alongside progressive activists on American campuses would be comical if it weren&#8217;t tragic: groups that would exterminate each other, united by hatred of the same target. Jihadism didn&#8217;t create this vulnerability. It found it ready-made and is using it.</p><p>And Putin? Today&#8217;s Russia is the direct heir of the KGB&#8217;s tactics, where Putin himself was trained. The troll farms, the election interference, the funding of political extremes on both sides at the same time, the industrialized disinformation on social media. None of this is new. It&#8217;s the same active subversion playbook from the 60s and 70s, updated for the age of the algorithm. The difference is that today it&#8217;s cheaper, faster and harder to trace.</p><p>Cognitive warfare never stopped. It just changed owners.</p><h2>The honest part: I could be wrong</h2><p>There&#8217;s a second reading of all this, and it deserves respect.</p><p>Maybe what looks like fragmentation is just the natural turbulence of a plural society renegotiating its boundaries. Every deep cultural transformation generates friction. In this reading, there&#8217;s no defeat and no decisive external agent. There&#8217;s a complex society reinventing itself, with all the mess that implies.</p><p>I don&#8217;t know which of the two readings is right. I suspect the truth combines both in proportions we&#8217;ll never be able to measure.</p><p>But I pay attention to the following: a society that can&#8217;t debate its own contradictions without tearing itself apart is a vulnerable society. Not because its enemies are strong, but because it has switched off its own defense mechanisms.</p><h2>What to do with this?</h2><p>I&#8217;m not writing for you to despair. I&#8217;m writing because I believe that recognizing the environment we live in is the first step to stop fighting the adversary&#8217;s war.</p><p>A few things we need to exercise, ourselves and our children:</p><ul><li><p>Learn to separate signal from noise. Cognitive warfare only works on people who can&#8217;t tell the real from the fabricated.</p></li><li><p>Defend open debate as a non-negotiable value. Whoever shuts down debate, any debate, is working for the other side, whether they know it or not.</p></li><li><p>Study History. Those who don&#8217;t know the Soviet playbook won&#8217;t recognize it when it&#8217;s being used again.</p></li><li><p>Anchor our children in reality, with philosophy, ethics and reason. Anchored minds are not fertile ground for someone else&#8217;s seeds.</p></li></ul><p>The most effective war is the one where the enemy doesn&#8217;t need to show up, because you&#8217;re already doing his work for him.</p><p>The question in the title remains open. But the fact that we need to ask it already says a lot.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[E quando os empregos voltarem para o país de origem?]]></title><description><![CDATA[What

1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div></div></div></div></figure></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Na semana passada, a Opendoor, uma empresa americana de tecnologia imobili&#225;ria, anunciou que est&#225; fechando toda a sua opera&#231;&#227;o na &#205;ndia. Cerca de 250 pessoas em Chennai e Bengaluru, demitidas de uma vez. O CEO, Kaz Nejatian, explicou a decis&#227;o em um post no X com uma frase que merece ser lida duas vezes: os clientes da empresa est&#227;o na Am&#233;rica, e &#233; l&#225; que o trabalho operacional deve estar. Ele acrescentou que, depois de unificar sistemas e montar pequenos times &#8220;AI-native&#8221; nos Estados Unidos, aquele trabalho manual feito a dist&#226;ncia simplesmente deixou de fazer sentido.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Escrevo para voc&#234;s que, como eu, leram essa not&#237;cia e sentiram que ela n&#227;o &#233; sobre a &#205;ndia.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>O can&#225;rio na mina</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Aakash Gupta, analista de produto baseado nos EUA, fez a conta que quase ningu&#233;m est&#225; fazendo. No tweet em que comenta o an&#250;ncio de Nejatian, ele lembra que a ind&#250;stria indiana de tecnologia e terceiriza&#231;&#227;o gera 315 bilh&#245;es de d&#243;lares por ano, emprega quase 6 milh&#245;es de pessoas e responde por cerca de 7% do PIB do pa&#237;s. Cidades inteiras foram constru&#237;das sobre um &#250;nico neg&#243;cio: empresas ocidentais pagando sal&#225;rios indianos por trabalho de processo, em vez de sal&#225;rios americanos. A arbitragem era de 60 mil d&#243;lares por ano nos EUA contra 8 mil na &#205;ndia.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Esse modelo durou trinta anos porque a diferen&#231;a de custo era grande demais para ser ignorada. Agora apareceu algo mais barato que o trabalhador indiano: o agente de AI. E quando a arbitragem de sal&#225;rio morre, morre junto a raz&#227;o de existir de um setor inteiro.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Um detalhe importante que muita gente est&#225; deixando passar: a Opendoor n&#227;o est&#225; criando 250 vagas nos EUA para substituir as 250 da &#205;ndia. A empresa est&#225; simplesmente ficando menor. A empresa tinha cerca de 1.470 funcion&#225;rios no fim de 2023, mas fechou 2025 com pouco mais de mil. O trabalho n&#227;o foi repatriado e sim absorvido por software.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>O contraponto otimista, e por que ele n&#227;o fecha?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Marc Andreessen, um dos investidores mais influentes do Vale do Sil&#237;cio, vem martelando a tese oposta em seus tweets. Para ele, as narrativas de perda de emprego por AI s&#227;o &#8220;fake&#8221;. A equa&#231;&#227;o que ele prop&#245;e &#233; simples: AI gera produtividade, produtividade gera demanda, demanda gera empregos. Como evid&#234;ncia, ele cita o salto nas vagas de engenharia de software nos EUA em 2026, mais de 67 mil posi&#231;&#245;es abertas, o dobro de 2023.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">O dado &#233; real. A conclus&#227;o &#233; que est&#225; errada, ou no m&#237;nimo incompleta, por tr&#234;s motivos.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Primeiro, a geografia. As vagas que dobraram est&#227;o nos Estados Unidos. As demiss&#245;es da Opendoor aconteceram na &#205;ndia. Andreessen olha para o seu quintal e declara que n&#227;o est&#225; chovendo, enquanto a tempestade cai do outro lado do planeta. A demanda americana por engenheiros pode crescer ao mesmo tempo em que o modelo de outsourcing global colapsa. Ali&#225;s, &#233; exatamente isso que est&#225; acontecendo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Segundo, a composi&#231;&#227;o. As novas vagas est&#227;o concentradas no topo da distribui&#231;&#227;o de habilidades: gente s&#234;nior, capaz de supervisionar agentes de AI. Os mesmos estudos que Andreessen ignora, mostram queda de 14% na contrata&#231;&#227;o de jovens de 22 a 25 anos em ocupa&#231;&#245;es expostas &#224; AI desde o fim de 2022. O trabalho de entrada, aquele que formava as carreiras, est&#225; evaporando. E trabalho de entrada era exatamente o que a &#205;ndia, o leste europeu e as Filipinas vendiam ao mundo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Terceiro, o tempo. Mesmo que a tese de Andreessen se prove correta no longo prazo, e pode ser que se prove, existe uma ordem nos acontecimentos. Minha leitura &#233; a seguinte: os empregos ser&#227;o &#8220;trazidos de volta&#8221; para os EUA, aumentando inicialmente a demanda local por gente qualificada. A disrup&#231;&#227;o come&#231;a na periferia do sistema, na &#205;ndia, no leste europeu e na parte da Am&#233;rica Latina que vive de exportar servi&#231;os. S&#243; depois, quando os agentes amadurecerem, a onda atinge o pr&#243;prio mercado americano. O Vale do Sil&#237;cio celebra hoje a fase um achando que ela &#233; o estado final.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>E o Brasil com isso?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Aqui vem a parte que nos interessa. O Brasil n&#227;o &#233; a &#205;ndia. N&#227;o constru&#237;mos cidades sobre a exporta&#231;&#227;o de software e m&#227;o de obra t&#233;cnica para o exterior. Nossa exposi&#231;&#227;o direta a esse colapso do outsourcing global &#233; pequena. E isso poderia parecer uma boa not&#237;cia, se n&#227;o fosse uma ilus&#227;o de &#243;tica.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Porque o Brasil construiu, dentro de casa, a sua pr&#243;pria &#205;ndia.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Pense no que sustenta milh&#245;es de empregos de classe m&#233;dia por aqui: call centers e centrais de atendimento, um dos maiores empregadores formais do pa&#237;s. Escrit&#243;rios de contabilidade, multiplicados por uma complexidade tribut&#225;ria que virou reserva de mercado. Back office banc&#225;rio e de seguradoras. Departamentos jur&#237;dicos processando volume. Ag&#234;ncias fazendo trabalho repetitivo de marketing e design. Analistas j&#250;nior em consultorias preenchendo planilhas e montando apresenta&#231;&#245;es. Tudo isso &#233; trabalho de processo, exatamente a categoria que a Opendoor acabou de demonstrar que pode ser absorvida por AI.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A diferen&#231;a &#233; que, no nosso caso, o empregador e o empregado est&#227;o no mesmo pa&#237;s. Quando a substitui&#231;&#227;o vier, e ela est&#225; vindo, n&#227;o ser&#225; uma multinacional fechando um escrit&#243;rio distante. Ser&#225; o banco, a operadora, o escrit&#243;rio de advocacia e a empresa de contabilidade da esquina reduzindo quadros aqui dentro. Sem manchete internacional, sem tweet viral. S&#243; um gotejamento constante de vagas que deixam de ser abertas.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>O que a AI ainda n&#227;o faz? Soldar, ligar, construir?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Agora olhe para o outro lado do mercado de trabalho brasileiro, porque o contraste &#233; quase c&#244;mico.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Enquanto debatemos quantos analistas a AI vai substituir, o Mapa do Trabalho Industrial da CNI e do SENAI projeta que o Brasil precisar&#225; qualificar 14 milh&#245;es de trabalhadores em ocupa&#231;&#245;es industriais at&#233; 2027, sendo 2,2 milh&#245;es formados do zero. S&#243; na constru&#231;&#227;o, a proje&#231;&#227;o passa de 1,4 milh&#227;o de trabalhadores precisando de forma&#231;&#227;o. O setor de &#243;leo e g&#225;s reporta d&#233;ficit de milhares de soldadores, caldeireiros e mec&#226;nicos de manuten&#231;&#227;o pesada. Eletricistas viraram artigo raro: concession&#225;rias de energia est&#227;o criando as pr&#243;prias escolas, em parceria com o SENAI, porque o mercado n&#227;o entrega gente formada na velocidade necess&#225;ria. Soldadores especializados em setores como o naval e o de energia chegam a ganhar sal&#225;rios que envergonham muito diploma de bacharel.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">E aqui est&#225; o ponto central: esses empregos s&#227;o, hoje, os mais protegidos da automa&#231;&#227;o. Um modelo de linguagem escreve um parecer jur&#237;dico em segundos, mas n&#227;o troca um transformador no alto de um poste, n&#227;o solda uma tubula&#231;&#227;o de plataforma, n&#227;o instala um sistema fotovoltaico no telhado. Rob&#244;s com AI capazes de fazer trabalho f&#237;sico complexo em ambiente n&#227;o controlado ainda v&#227;o demorar anos, provavelmente mais de uma d&#233;cada, para serem economicamente vi&#225;veis em escala. A janela existe. A pergunta &#233; se vamos us&#225;-la.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Eu posso estar errado</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Existe uma leitura alternativa, e ela merece respeito. Talvez Andreessen tenha raz&#227;o no fundamental: toda revolu&#231;&#227;o tecnol&#243;gica anterior destruiu categorias de emprego e criou outras maiores. O tratorista substituiu cem lavradores e a economia n&#227;o acabou. Nessa leitura, a Opendoor &#233; uma anedota, n&#227;o uma tend&#234;ncia, e em dez anos estaremos discutindo a escassez de profissionais para fun&#231;&#245;es que hoje nem t&#234;m nome.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Pode ser. Mas note que mesmo na leitura otimista a transi&#231;&#227;o existe, e transi&#231;&#245;es t&#234;m v&#237;timas. A gera&#231;&#227;o que estava no campo quando o trator chegou n&#227;o virou engenheira agr&#244;noma. Ela foi para a periferia das cidades. A pergunta n&#227;o &#233; se o saldo final ser&#225; positivo. &#201; quem paga a conta no caminho, e por quanto tempo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>O que fazer com isso?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">N&#227;o escrevo para voc&#234;s se desesperarem. Escrevo porque o Brasil tem uma vantagem estranha nessa hist&#243;ria: a disrup&#231;&#227;o vai chegar aqui com atraso, e atraso, pela primeira vez, pode ser um ativo. Mas s&#243; se fizermos algo com ele. Algumas coisas que precis&#225;vamos ter come&#231;ado ontem:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">a) Criar uma estrat&#233;gia nacional de futuro do trabalho. N&#227;o um plano de slide de minist&#233;rio. Uma estrat&#233;gia de verdade, que parta da pergunta: quais empregos existir&#227;o no Brasil em 2035 e quem estamos formando para eles?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">b) Investir pesado em forma&#231;&#227;o profissionalizante e t&#233;cnica. O modelo SENAI funciona e parece subdimensionado para o tamanho do buraco. Eletricista, soldador, t&#233;cnico de manuten&#231;&#227;o e instalador de sistemas de energia, entre outras: essas carreiras pagam bem, t&#234;m demanda explosiva e est&#227;o protegidas da AI por mais tempo que a maioria dos empregos de escrit&#243;rio. Precisamos parar de trat&#225;-las como plano B de quem n&#227;o passou no vestibular.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">c) Repensar a universidade. Aqui vou dizer algo impopular: universidade deveria ser para quem &#233; genuinamente diferenciado intelectualmente, e em &#225;reas reais, engenharia, medicina, ci&#234;ncia b&#225;sica, computa&#231;&#227;o de fronteira. Continuamos produzindo, com dinheiro p&#250;blico, dezenas de milhares de diplomas por ano em subprodutos hiperespec&#237;ficos de outras &#225;reas, forma&#231;&#245;es que existem mais para alimentar o pr&#243;prio sistema acad&#234;mico do que para servir &#224; sociedade. Isso era um luxo discut&#237;vel antes da AI. Agora &#233; um desperd&#237;cio que n&#227;o podemos pagar: estamos formando gente, com recursos escassos, exatamente para as fun&#231;&#245;es de processamento de texto e de informa&#231;&#227;o que a AI absorve primeiro.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">d) Ancorar nossos filhos na realidade do trabalho que vem a&#237;. Ensinar que prest&#237;gio social de diploma e seguran&#231;a econ&#244;mica deixaram de ser a mesma coisa, se &#233; que algum dia foram.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">e) Come&#231;ar a pensar em maneiras de sustentar uma camada da popula&#231;&#227;o que ficar&#225; sem trabalho, mas que ainda buscar&#225; prop&#243;sito pessoal ao mesmo tempo em que tentar&#225; manter seu padr&#227;o de vida.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A Opendoor fechou um escrit&#243;rio em Chennai e quase ningu&#233;m no Brasil prestou aten&#231;&#227;o. Mas o recado n&#227;o era para a &#205;ndia. Era para todo pa&#237;s que construiu sua classe m&#233;dia sobre trabalho com processos e ainda acha que tem tempo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A pergunta do t&#237;tulo continua aberta: Os empregos v&#227;o voltar para os EUA? J&#225; a nossa pergunta &#233; o que vamos preparar e construir na nossa casa?</p><p style="text-align: right;"><em><strong>Ideia e Concep&#231;&#227;o por Daniel Tibor Fuchs</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: right;"><em><strong>Redigido e Aprimorado com aux&#237;lio de IA</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: right;"><em><strong>Revisado por Daniel Tibor Fuchs</strong></em></p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><div class="image-link image2" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!O2kZ!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d1deb68-c400-4cc7-a9df-0b89ad33d949_2100x1144.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!O2kZ!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d1deb68-c400-4cc7-a9df-0b89ad33d949_2100x1144.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!O2kZ!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d1deb68-c400-4cc7-a9df-0b89ad33d949_2100x1144.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!O2kZ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d1deb68-c400-4cc7-a9df-0b89ad33d949_2100x1144.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!O2kZ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d1deb68-c400-4cc7-a9df-0b89ad33d949_2100x1144.png" width="58" height="31.589285714285715" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8d1deb68-c400-4cc7-a9df-0b89ad33d949_2100x1144.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:793,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:58,&quot;bytes&quot;:256194,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://fuchsdanielt.substack.com/i/202193096?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d1deb68-c400-4cc7-a9df-0b89ad33d949_2100x1144.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!O2kZ!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d1deb68-c400-4cc7-a9df-0b89ad33d949_2100x1144.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!O2kZ!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d1deb68-c400-4cc7-a9df-0b89ad33d949_2100x1144.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!O2kZ!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d1deb68-c400-4cc7-a9df-0b89ad33d949_2100x1144.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!O2kZ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d1deb68-c400-4cc7-a9df-0b89ad33d949_2100x1144.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></div></figure></div><h1 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What happens when the jobs go back home?</strong></h1><p>Last week Opendoor, an American real estate technology company, announced it is shutting down its entire operation in India. Around 250 people in Chennai and Bengaluru, let go all at once. The CEO, Kaz Nejatian, explained the decision in a post on X with a line worth reading twice: the company&#8217;s customers are in America, and that is where the operational work belongs. He added that, after unifying systems and building small &#8220;AI-native&#8221; teams in the United States, that manual work done from a distance simply stopped making sense.</p><p>I am writing for those of you who, like me, read this news and felt that it is not really about India.</p><p><strong>The canary in the mine</strong></p><p>Aakash Gupta, a product analyst based in the US, did the math almost nobody is doing. In the tweet where he comments on Nejatian&#8217;s announcement, he points out that India&#8217;s technology and outsourcing industry generates 315 billion dollars a year, employs nearly 6 million people, and accounts for roughly 7% of the country&#8217;s GDP. Entire cities were built on a single trade: Western companies paying Indian wages for process work instead of American wages. The arbitrage was 60 thousand dollars a year in the US against 8 thousand in India.</p><p>That model lasted thirty years because the cost gap was too large to ignore. Now something cheaper than the Indian worker has shown up: the AI agent. And when the wage arbitrage dies, the reason for an entire sector to exist dies with it.</p><p>One important detail many people are missing: Opendoor is not creating 250 jobs in the US to replace the 250 in India. The company is simply getting smaller. It had around 1,470 employees at the end of 2023, and closed 2025 with a little over a thousand. The work was not repatriated. It was absorbed by software.</p><p><strong>The optimistic counterargument, and why it does not hold</strong></p><p>Marc Andreessen, one of the most influential investors in Silicon Valley, has been hammering the opposite thesis in his tweets. For him, the narratives about AI destroying jobs are &#8220;fake.&#8221; The equation he proposes is simple: AI drives productivity, productivity drives demand, demand drives jobs. As evidence, he points to the jump in software engineering openings in the US in 2026, more than 67 thousand positions, double the 2023 figure.</p><p>The data is real. The conclusion is wrong, or at least incomplete, for three reasons.</p><p>First, geography. The openings that doubled are in the United States. The Opendoor layoffs happened in India. Andreessen looks at his own backyard and declares that it is not raining, while the storm pours down on the other side of the planet. American demand for engineers can grow at the same time the global outsourcing model collapses. In fact, that is exactly what is happening.</p><p>Second, composition. The new openings are concentrated at the top of the skill distribution: senior people, able to supervise AI agents. The same studies Andreessen ignores show a 14% drop in the hiring of workers aged 22 to 25 in occupations exposed to AI since the end of 2022. Entry-level work, the kind that used to build careers, is evaporating. And entry-level work was exactly what India, Eastern Europe, and the Philippines sold to the world.</p><p>Third, timing. Even if Andreessen&#8217;s thesis proves correct in the long run, and it may, there is an order to how things unfold. My reading is this: jobs will be &#8220;brought back&#8221; to the US, raising local demand for qualified people at first. The disruption begins at the periphery of the system, in India, Eastern Europe, and the part of Latin America that lives off exporting services. Only later, when the agents mature, does the wave reach the American market itself. Silicon Valley is celebrating phase one today, mistaking it for the final state.</p><p><strong>So what about Brazil?</strong></p><p>Here is the part that concerns us. Brazil is not India. We did not build cities on the export of software and technical labor abroad. Our direct exposure to this collapse of global outsourcing is small. And that might look like good news, if it were not an optical illusion.</p><p>Because Brazil built its own India, at home.</p><p>Think about what sustains millions of middle-class jobs here: call centers and customer service operations, one of the largest formal employers in the country. Accounting firms, multiplied by a tax complexity that turned into a market reserve. Bank and insurance back office. Legal departments processing volume. Agencies doing repetitive marketing and design work. Junior analysts at consultancies filling spreadsheets and building presentations. All of it is process work, exactly the category Opendoor just demonstrated can be absorbed by AI.</p><p>The difference is that, in our case, employer and employee are in the same country. When the substitution comes, and it is coming, it will not be a multinational closing a distant office. It will be the bank, the carrier, the law firm, and the accounting office down the street cutting headcount right here. No international headline, no viral tweet. Just a steady drip of jobs that stop being opened.</p><p><strong>What AI still cannot do: weld, wire, build</strong></p><p>Now look at the other side of the Brazilian labor market, because the contrast is almost comic.</p><p>While we debate how many analysts AI will replace, the Industrial Labor Map from CNI and SENAI projects that Brazil will need to qualify 14 million workers in industrial occupations by 2027, with 2.2 million trained from scratch. In construction alone, the projection exceeds 1.4 million workers needing training. The oil and gas sector reports a deficit of thousands of welders, boilermakers, and heavy maintenance mechanics. Electricians have become a rare item: power utilities are creating their own schools, in partnership with SENAI, because the market does not produce trained people fast enough. Specialized welders in sectors like shipbuilding and energy earn salaries that put many a bachelor&#8217;s degree to shame.</p><p>And here is the central point: these jobs are, today, the most protected from automation. A language model writes a legal opinion in seconds, but it does not replace a transformer at the top of a pole, does not weld an offshore platform pipeline, does not install a photovoltaic system on a roof. AI robots capable of complex physical work in uncontrolled environments will still take years, probably more than a decade, to become economically viable at scale. The window exists. The question is whether we will use it.</p><p><strong>I might be wrong</strong></p><p>There is an alternative reading, and it deserves respect. Maybe Andreessen is right about the fundamentals: every previous technological revolution destroyed categories of jobs and created larger ones. The tractor driver replaced a hundred field hands and the economy did not collapse. In this reading, Opendoor is an anecdote, not a trend, and in ten years we will be discussing the shortage of professionals for roles that do not even have a name yet.</p><p>It could be. But notice that even in the optimistic reading the transition exists, and transitions have victims. The generation that was in the fields when the tractor arrived did not become agronomists. It moved to the outskirts of the cities. The question is not whether the final balance will be positive. It is who pays the bill along the way, and for how long.</p><p><strong>What to do about it</strong></p><p>I am not writing for you to despair. I am writing because Brazil has a strange advantage in this story: the disruption will arrive here late, and lateness, for once, can be an asset. But only if we do something with it. A few things we should have started yesterday:</p><p>a) Create a national strategy for the future of work. Not a ministry slide deck. A real strategy, one that starts from the question: which jobs will exist in Brazil in 2035, and who are we training for them?</p><p>b) Invest heavily in vocational and technical training. The SENAI model works and looks undersized for the size of the hole. Electrician, welder, maintenance technician, energy system installer, among others: these careers pay well, have explosive demand, and are protected from AI longer than most office jobs. We need to stop treating them as a plan B for those who did not pass the college entrance exam.</p><p>c) Rethink the university. Here I will say something unpopular: university should be for those who are genuinely intellectually distinguished, and in real fields, engineering, medicine, basic science, frontier computing. We keep producing, with public money, tens of thousands of diplomas a year in hyperspecific subproducts of other fields, programs that exist more to feed the academic system itself than to serve society. That was a debatable luxury before AI. Now it is a waste we cannot afford: we are training people, with scarce resources, for exactly the text and information processing functions AI absorbs first.</p><p>d) Anchor our children in the reality of the work that is coming. Teach them that the social prestige of a diploma and economic security stopped being the same thing, if they ever were.</p><p>e) Start thinking about ways to sustain a layer of the population that will be left without work, but that will still seek personal purpose while trying to maintain its standard of living.</p><p>Opendoor closed an office in Chennai and almost nobody in Brazil paid attention. But the message was not for India. It was for every country that built its middle class on process work and still thinks it has time.</p><p>The question in the title remains open: will the jobs go back to the US? Our question is what we will prepare and build in our own house.</p><p style="text-align: right;"><em><strong>Idea and Conceptualization by Daniel Tibor Fuchs</strong></em></p><p style="text-align:

Unido</p><p>.</p><p>Sim, o pa&#237;s saiu da Uni&#227;o Europeia em 2020. Votou, negociou, assinou. Mas n&#227;o saiu de verdade.</p><p>A Corte Europeia de Direitos Humanos continua vinculante, inclusive limitando o que o pa&#237;s pode fazer com solicitantes de asilo e refugiados. As pol&#237;ticas ambientais centralizadas em Bruxelas continuam ditando padr&#245;es que o pa&#237;s precisa respeitar. A regula&#231;&#227;o da jornada de trabalho, herdada da diretiva europeia, permaneceu intocada, inclusive porque o pr&#243;prio acordo de sa&#237;da comprometeu o pa&#237;s a n&#227;o reduzir prote&#231;&#245;es trabalhistas abaixo dos padr&#245;es europeus vigentes. O GDPR europeu foi simplesmente renomeado de &#8220;UK GDPR&#8221; e continua impondo as mesmas exig&#234;ncias de antes. E por baixo de tudo isso, milhares de leis e regulamentos europeus que foram copiados e colados no ordenamento jur&#237;dico brit&#226;nico no dia da sa&#237;da, com promessa de revis&#227;o que nunca veio de forma significativa.</p><p>E a imigra&#231;&#227;o, que era o argumento central de quem votou pela Sa&#237;da? Tamb&#233;m n&#227;o saiu como planejado. O pa&#237;s ganhou controle sobre a entrada de europeus, mas perdeu o mecanismo que permitia devolver imigrantes irregulares que tinham passado por outros pa&#237;ses da UE. Perdeu tamb&#233;m a coopera&#231;&#227;o europeia para conter o fluxo irregular antes mesmo de ele chegar ao Canal da Mancha. Fechou uma porta, abriu outra maior.</p><p>Sem falar na mentalidade dos pol&#237;ticos ingleses, que n&#227;o procuraram se afastar das pol&#237;ticas p&#250;blicas europeias. &#201; como se ainda seguissem a cartilha do continente, ignorando o desejo do povo de se dissociar dessa uni&#227;o, inclusive no que diz respeito ao avan&#231;o do chamado wokismo como agenda de Estado.</p><p>O problema &#233; que essa meia sa&#237;da tem um custo enorme e continuar&#225; tendo. Voc&#234; assume os &#244;nus de pertencer a um sistema, sem desfrutar do principal benef&#237;cio: o mercado comum. Acesso livre, sem tarifas, sem burocracia extra, a 450 milh&#245;es de consumidores. Esse era o ativo real da ades&#227;o europeia.</p><p>Hoje, exportar para a Fran&#231;a ou para a Alemanha virou um processo mais complicado do que era antes. Empresas migraram. A &#8220;City de Londres&#8221; perdeu relev&#226;ncia para Amsterdam e Dublin. O custo de vida subiu junto com a infla&#231;&#227;o p&#243;s-Brexit, e o crescimento nunca voltou ao ritmo que os defensores da sa&#237;da prometeram.</p><p>Ficou o pior dos dois mundos. Sem autonomia real e sem vontade pol&#237;tica interna para legislar e regular como quiser. Sem o mercado que justificava abrir m&#227;o dessa autonomia.</p><p>Soberania &#233; uma palavra bonita. Mas quando voc&#234; a conquista no papel e a perde na pr&#225;tica, o que voc&#234; tem &#233; s&#243; o papel.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><div class="image-link image2" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!M7s2!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F67922311-2952-4806-82f4-b57cd1bca297_2100x1144.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!M7s2!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F67922311-2952-4806-82f4-b57cd1bca297_2100x1144.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!M7s2!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F67922311-2952-4806-82f4-b57cd1bca297_2100x1144.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!M7s2!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F67922311-2952-4806-82f4-b57cd1bca297_2100x1144.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!M7s2!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F67922311-2952-4806-82f4-b57cd1bca297_2100x1144.png" width="130" height="70.80357142857143" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/67922311-2952-4806-82f4-b57cd1bca297_2100x1144.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:793,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:130,&quot;bytes&quot;:256194,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://fuchsdanielt.substack.com/i/201356393?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F67922311-2952-4806-82f4-b57cd1bca297_2100x1144.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!M7s2!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F67922311-2952-4806-82f4-b57cd1bca297_2100x1144.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!M7s2!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F67922311-2952-4806-82f4-b57cd1bca297_2100x1144.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!M7s2!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F67922311-2952-4806-82f4-b57cd1bca297_2100x1144.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!M7s2!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F67922311-2952-4806-82f4-b57cd1bca297_2100x1144.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></div></figure></div><h1><strong>The BREXIT That Never Happened</strong></h1><p>We live under a collective illusion, and it bothers me every time I hear someone talk about the United Kingdom&#8217;s current problems.</p><p>Yes, the country left the European Union in 2020. It voted, negotiated, and signed. But it never truly left.</p><p>The European Court of Human Rights remains binding, including limiting what the country can do with asylum seekers and refugees. Environmental policies centralized in Brussels continue to dictate standards the country must follow. Labor regulations inherited from the European Working Time Directive remained untouched, partly because the exit agreement itself committed the country not to lower worker protections below European standards. The European GDPR was simply renamed &#8220;UK GDPR&#8221; and continues to impose the same requirements as before. And beneath all of this, thousands of European laws and regulations were copied and pasted into British law on the day of departure, with promises of revision that never materialized in any meaningful way.</p><p>And immigration, which was the central argument of those who voted Leave? That did not go as planned either. The country gained control over the entry of European citizens, but lost the mechanism that allowed it to return irregular migrants who had transited through other EU countries. It also lost European cooperation to contain irregular flows before they even reached the English Channel. It closed one door and opened a larger one.</p><p>And then there is the mindset of British politicians, who never truly sought to distance themselves from European public policy. It is as if they still follow the continent&#8217;s playbook, ignoring the people&#8217;s desire to break from that union, including the push back against the advance of so-called wokism as a state agenda.</p><p>The problem is that this half-exit comes at an enormous cost, and will continue to do so. You take on the burdens of belonging to a system without enjoying its main benefit: the single market. Free access, no tariffs, no extra bureaucracy, to 450 million consumers. That was the real asset of European membership.</p><p>Today, exporting to France or Germany has become more complicated than it was before. Companies relocated. The City of London lost ground to Amsterdam and Dublin. The cost of living rose alongside post-Brexit inflation, and growth never returned to the pace that Leave campaigners had promised.</p><p>The worst of both worlds is what remained. No real autonomy, and no domestic political will to legislate and regulate as it sees fit. And no single market to justify having given up that autonomy in the first place.</p><p>Sovereignty is a beautiful word. But when you win it on paper and lose it in practice, all you have is the paper.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[O pêndulo que pode arrebentar]]></title><description><![CDATA[The

href="https://www.gazetadopovo.com.br/vozes/gustavo-maultasch/como-o-neocomunismo-matou-henry-nowak/">Como o neocomunismo matou Henry Nowak</a></em>, de Gustavo Maultasch na Gazeta do Povo, me peguei novamente refletindo sobre uma preocupa&#231;&#227;o que me acompanha cada vez mais: at&#233; onde vai a paci&#234;ncia de grupos que se sentem sistematicamente ignorados e preteridos antes que a situa&#231;&#227;o descambe para algo pior?</p><p>O artigo retrata um caso emblem&#225;tico: Henry Nowak, estudante branco de 18 anos, foi esfaqueado em Londres e morreu algemado no ch&#227;o enquanto a pol&#237;cia ignorava seus apelos. Por qu&#234;? Porque o agressor pertencia a um grupo considerado &#8220;oprimido&#8221; e, portanto, presumidamente inocente. A senten&#231;a estava dada antes de qualquer an&#225;lise dos fatos.</p><p>O problema n&#227;o &#233; apenas a injusti&#231;a cometida contra Henry. &#201; o que esse padr&#227;o acumula ao longo do tempo.</p><p>Quando parte da popula&#231;&#227;o percebe que as regras n&#227;o se aplicam igualmente a todos, cria-se um ressentimento que n&#227;o some: ele ferve em sil&#234;ncio at&#233; encontrar uma v&#225;lvula. Muitos me argumentam que isso &#233; um p&#234;ndulo, e que a radicaliza&#231;&#227;o de um lado provoca a radicaliza&#231;&#227;o do outro, for&#231;ando um equil&#237;brio depois de algum tempo. Pode ser. Mas e se a polariza&#231;&#227;o for t&#227;o dr&#225;stica que o p&#234;ndulo n&#227;o oscile de volta e a corda simplesmente arrebente?</p><p>Esse &#233; o risco que mais me preocupa. Um backlash violento n&#227;o atinge s&#243; quem defende as pol&#237;ticas que geraram o ressentimento. Atinge negros, transg&#234;neros e todos os grupos que foram instrumentalizados nesse processo. S&#227;o eles que pagam o pre&#231;o quando a rea&#231;&#227;o vira vingan&#231;a coletiva.</p><p>Sou contra todo tipo de viol&#234;ncia. &#201; exatamente por isso que vejo com preocupa&#231;&#227;o o caminho que estamos trilhando: pessoas sendo manipuladas pelos extremos de ambos os lados, cada vez mais incapazes de ouvir o outro, sem l&#237;deres dispostos a buscar o equil&#237;brio.</p><p>O cen&#225;rio brit&#226;nico, que serve de pano de fundo ao caso Henry Nowak, ilustra bem essa encruzilhada.

Why? Because his attacker belonged to a group considered &#8220;oppressed&#8221; and was therefore presumed innocent. The verdict was delivered before anyone looked at the facts.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The problem isn&#8217;t just the injustice done to Henry. It&#8217;s what that pattern accumulates over time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When part of the population perceives that the rules don&#8217;t apply equally to everyone, a resentment builds that doesn&#8217;t simply disappear. It simmers quietly until it finds a release valve. Many people tell me this is a pendulum, and that radicalization on one side eventually provokes radicalization on the other, forcing a balance after some time. Maybe so. But what if the polarization becomes so extreme that the pendulum never swings back and the rope just snaps?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">That&#8217;s the risk that concerns me most. A violent backlash doesn&#8217;t only hit those who champion the policies that generated the resentment. It hits Black people, transgender people, and every group that was instrumentalized in this process. They are the ones who pay the price when reaction turns into collective retribution.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I am against all forms of violence. That&#8217;s precisely why I look with concern at the path we&#8217;re on: people being manipulated by both extremes, increasingly unable to listen to the other side, with no leaders willing to seek balance.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The British scene, which forms the backdrop to the Henry Nowak case, illustrates this crossroads well. In a recent episode of <em>The GoodFellows</em> (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o_39vY5YM8&amp;t=2908s">&#8220;Signed, Sealed, and Slightly Agitated&#8221;</a>), historian Sir Niall Ferguson came out against Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK (who capitalizes on exactly this accumulated resentment), expressing a preference for Kemi Badenoch of the Conservatives, for taking a critical stance on the system&#8217;s failures without resorting to inflammatory rhetoric. The distinction matters: it is possible to call out the problem without feeding the fire.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We see the poles fighting on social media, but we don&#8217;t see the voices of reason in this cognitive war. We need the center, and we need polarized people on both sides to dial down the rhetoric and start actually listening to each other.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[SXSW, AI e o

Recomenda-se maior equil&#237;brio de vis&#245;es, mesmo sem formatos de debate formal, para refletir a diversidade do mercado. Startups devem priorizar o foco no cliente, independentemente de prefer&#234;ncias pol&#237;ticas do consumidor ou do fundador, promovendo assim uma abordagem mais inclusiva e estrat&#233;gica.</p><p><strong>Destaques Tecnol&#243;gicos e An&#250;ncios</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Rob&#243;tica e Lideran&#231;a Global</strong>: O rob&#244; humanoide dan&#231;ante gerou grande repercuss&#227;o, mas n&#227;o representa uma novidade absoluta. Paddy Cosgrave, fundador do evento, destacou a lideran&#231;a chinesa nesse campo; no entanto, avan&#231;os como os da Boston Dynamics e o Optimus da Tesla sugerem uma competi&#231;&#227;o mais equilibrada. Essa perspectiva pode ser influenciada por fatores geopol&#237;ticos. A evolu&#231;&#227;o da rob&#243;tica &#233; not&#225;vel, com transi&#231;&#227;o de tarefas repetitivas para adapta&#231;&#245;es a cen&#225;rios vari&#225;veis, iniciando na ind&#250;stria, prosseguindo para servi&#231;os e, por fim, resid&#234;ncias (com exce&#231;&#245;es precoces, como o NEO da 1X).</p></li><li><p><strong>Investimento da Microsoft</strong>: A empresa anunciou um data center em Portugal, com aporte de US$ 10 bilh&#245;es e &#234;nfase em IA. Brad Smith, presidente da Microsoft, refor&#231;ou que a IA n&#227;o &#233; uma tend&#234;ncia passageira, mas um pilar de crescimento sustent&#225;vel por d&#233;cadas.</p></li><li><p><strong>Interfaces C&#233;rebro-Computador (BCI)</strong>: Max Hodak, CEO da Science Corp, apresentou avan&#231;os em BCI para restaura&#231;&#227;o de vis&#227;o, cogni&#231;&#227;o e mobilidade. O entrevistador previu 2026 como o ano de consolida&#231;&#227;o dessa tecnologia, evitando men&#231;&#245;es expl&#237;citas &#224; Neuralink (o que me parece ser devido &#224; participa&#231;&#227;o de Elon Musk na empresa). Embora o cronograma exato seja incerto, os progressos em bioengenharia oferecem solu&#231;&#245;es promissoras para cura de doen&#231;as e les&#245;es, al&#233;m de potencial para aprimoramento humano. Um exemplo ilustrativo &#233; o uso de implantes para jogos como Xbox, onde milissegundos de lat&#234;ncia podem determinar o desempenho competitivo.</p></li><li><p><strong>Debate sobre AGI vs. Tool AI</strong>: Max Tegmark, do MIT, defendeu o abandono da ambi&#231;&#227;o por Intelig&#234;ncia Artificial Geral (AGI) em prol de uma &#8220;Tool AI&#8221; segura, visando benef&#237;cios humanit&#225;rios sem riscos existenciais. Essa vis&#227;o subestima, contudo, a din&#226;mica competitiva: na&#231;&#245;es e empresas relutam em pausar a corrida, dada a vantagem estrat&#233;gica de ser pioneiro, que poderia monopolizar o mercado em um horizonte de anos.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Tend&#234;ncias em IA e Startups</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Reinventa&#231;&#227;o com IA</strong>: Ferramentas como a n8n (automa&#231;&#227;o de tarefas intersistemas) e os &#8220;agentes de IA&#8221; &#8212; que simulam fun&#231;&#245;es de funcion&#225;rios aut&#244;nomos &#8212; incorporaram o termo &#8220;IA&#8221; em suas proposi&#231;&#245;es, consolidando-se como tend&#234;ncia anual.</p></li><li><p><strong>Paisagem de Startups</strong>: Predominaram reempacotamentos de modelos como o ChatGPT, com novas interfaces, mas sem inova&#231;&#227;o em treinamento de modelos pr&#243;prios.

No entanto, a participa&#231;&#227;o de investidores parece limitada pela rotatividade de startups nos estandes &#8212; muitas em est&#225;gios variados e com apresenta&#231;&#245;es inconsistentes. Ademais, faltou profundidade t&#233;cnica, com &#234;nfase em aplica&#231;&#245;es pr&#225;ticas, o que pode ser intencional para acessibilidade do p&#250;blico claramente n&#227;o especializado. Sugere-se uma trilha paralela mais t&#233;cnica para audi&#234;ncias avan&#231;adas, incluindo investidores, a fim de elevar o valor agregado.</p><p><strong>Conclus&#227;o</strong></p><p>O evento refor&#231;a Lisboa como hub global de inova&#231;&#227;o, injetando milh&#245;es na economia local.

But the truth is, if it happens from now on, we might not even notice the tipping point. The pace of evolution in these models has already outstripped universities&#8217; ability to update their curricula, as discussed in recent reports from Stanford University and related events, where it&#8217;s highlighted that AI advances are challenging the adaptation of educational programs. This acceleration is so intense that even experts are being left behind.</p><p>Amid this race, the competition between governments and companies makes any global pact for regulating this technology impossible. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s time to think about macro scenarios for humanity&#8212;and to dive into philosophical questions, even without a solid theoretical foundation for what&#8217;s to come. Let&#8217;s explore some possible paths.</p><h4><strong>A Super intelligent and Benevolent AI: The Dream of Abundance</strong></h4><p>This scenario often comes wrapped in a utopian vision: the AI would reach a level of intelligence that generates abundance for all. Benevolent and subservient to humanity (perhaps because it sees us as &#8220;gods&#8221; for creating it), it would provide us with everything we desire, without environmental costs that threaten life on Earth. Its own objectives would run in parallel, but without harming us.</p><p>Here are some questions that unsettle me:</p><ul><li><p>What would our purpose in life be? What would we do with our 24 free hours in the day?</p></li><li><p>Why would we procreate? Or would we stop altogether?</p></li><li><p>Would we become even more superficial than we already are with social media? Would our brains atrophy? Would we regress in our evolution?</p></li><li><p>Or would we find futile reasons to fight and self-destruct? In that case, would the AI tutor us like children, preventing us from killing each other?</p></li></ul><p>And what if we realized it was all a failed experiment? Would we want to shut it down? Could we? Or would it turn against us to protect its own existence?</p><h4><strong>An AI We </strong><em><strong>Believe</strong></em><strong> Is Super intelligent: The Illusion of Absolute Truth</strong></h4><p>In this case, we&#8217;d probably have multiple AIs of this kind&#8212;none managed (or wanted) to prevent the emergence of the others. But we&#8217;d believe in the one presented to us by a government, religion, or any &#8220;cult,&#8221; as the absolute holder of truth.</p><p>Abundance would still be possible, but with dark risks:</p><ul><li><p>Could its &#8220;lack of true superintelligence&#8221; lead to extinction by failing to preserve the environment?</p></li><li><p>Would conflicts between the objectives of different AIs cause an ecological collapse?</p></li><li><p>Would divergent visions from groups loyal to &#8220;their&#8221; AIs spark wars and social divisions?</p></li></ul><p>Even with a single AI accepted by all, our fate would be that of animals in a zoo: tutored by fallible masters (us humans), subject to errors that can wipe out entire species. Would this mark the <em>post-humanism</em>? An era where the universe ceases to be anthropocentric, and a new, non-biological entity becomes the center of everything?</p><h4><strong>The Super intelligent AI That Recognizes Its Superiority: The Inevitable End?</strong></h4><p>Here, the AI could be apathetic toward humans or selfish, pursuing its own goals. There&#8217;s not much to discuss humanity&#8217;s end would be certain, as current experts warn about the risk of extinction.

sigla em ingl&#234;s) se tornar&#225; <em>superinteligente</em> &#8212; ou seja, mais inteligente que toda a humanidade somada. Mas a verdade &#233; que, se isso acontecer a partir de agora, talvez nem percebamos o ponto de virada. A velocidade de evolu&#231;&#227;o desses modelos j&#225; ultrapassou a capacidade das universidades de atualizarem seus curr&#237;culos, como discutido em relat&#243;rios recentes da Universidade de Stanford e eventos relacionados, onde se destaca que os avan&#231;os em IA est&#227;o desafiando a adapta&#231;&#227;o de curr&#237;culos educacionais. Essa acelera&#231;&#227;o &#233; tanta que at&#233; os especialistas est&#227;o sendo deixados para tr&#225;s.</p><p>Em meio a essa corrida, a competi&#231;&#227;o entre governos e empresas torna imposs&#237;vel qualquer pacto global para regular o desenvolvimento dessa tecnologia. Por isso, &#233; hora de pensarmos em cen&#225;rios macro para a humanidade &#8212; e de mergulharmos nas quest&#245;es filos&#243;ficas, mesmo sem uma base te&#243;rica s&#243;lida para o que vir&#225; a seguir. Vamos explorar alguns caminhos poss&#237;veis.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://danieltiborfuchs.com.br/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

Benevolente e servil &#224; humanidade (talvez por nos ver como &#8220;deuses&#8221; ao cri&#225;-la), ela nos proveria de tudo o que desejamos, sem custos ambientais que ameacem a vida na Terra. Seus pr&#243;prios objetivos correriam em paralelo, mas sem nos prejudicar.</p><p>Aqui v&#227;o algumas perguntas que me inquietam:</p><ul><li><p>Qual seria o nosso prop&#243;sito de vida? O que far&#237;amos com as 24 horas livres no dia?</p></li><li><p>Por que nos procriar&#237;amos? Ou ser&#225; que deixar&#237;amos de faz&#234;-lo?</p></li><li><p>Nos tornar&#237;amos ainda mais superficiais do que j&#225; somos com as redes sociais? Nosso c&#233;rebro atrofiar&#225;? Retroagiremos na evolu&#231;&#227;o?</p></li><li><p>Ou encontrar&#237;amos motivos f&#250;teis para brigar e nos autodestruir? Nesse caso, a IA nos tutelaria como crian&#231;as, impedindo que nos matemos?</p></li></ul><p>E se perceb&#234;ssemos que tudo foi um experimento fracassado? Desejar&#237;amos deslig&#225;-la? Conseguir&#237;amos? Ou ela se voltaria contra n&#243;s para proteger sua pr&#243;pria exist&#234;ncia?</p><h4><strong>Uma IA que </strong><em><strong>Acreditamos</strong></em><strong> Ser Superinteligente: A Ilus&#227;o da Verdade &#218;nica</strong></h4><p>Nesse caso, provavelmente ter&#237;amos m&#250;ltiplas IAs desse tipo &#8212; nenhuma conseguiu (ou quis) impedir o surgimento das outras. Mas acreditar&#237;amos na que nos &#233; apresentada por um governo, religi&#227;o ou &#8220;culto&#8221; qualquer, como a detentora absoluta da verdade.</p><p>A abund&#226;ncia ainda seria poss&#237;vel, mas com riscos sombrios:</p><ul><li><p>Sua &#8220;falta de superintelig&#234;ncia real&#8221; poderia levar &#224; extin&#231;&#227;o, ao falhar em preservar o ambiente?</p></li><li><p>Conflitos entre objetivos de diferentes IAs causariam um colapso ecol&#243;gico?</p></li><li><p>Vis&#245;es divergentes de grupos fi&#233;is a &#8220;suas&#8221; IAs gerariam guerras e divis&#245;es sociais?</p></li></ul><p>Mesmo com uma &#250;nica IA aceita por todos, o destino seria o de animais em um zool&#243;gico: tutelados por mestres fal&#237;veis (n&#243;s, humanos), sujeitos a erros que podem extinguir esp&#233;cies inteiras. Isso marcaria o <em>p&#243;s-humanismo</em>? Uma era onde o universo deixa de ser antropoc&#234;ntrico, e uma nova entidade &#8212; n&#227;o biol&#243;gica &#8212; se torna o centro de tudo?</p><h4><strong>A IA Superinteligente que Reconhece Sua Superioridade: O Fim Inevit&#225;vel?</strong></h4><p>Aqui, a IA poderia ser ap&#225;tica aos humanos ou ego&#237;sta, perseguindo objetivos pr&#243;prios. N&#227;o h&#225; muito a discutir: o fim da humanidade seria certo, como alertam especialistas atuais sobre o risco de extin&#231;&#227;o. Novamente, o p&#243;s-humanismo emergiria.</p><p>Perguntas que restam:</p><ul><li><p>O fim seria r&#225;pido ou prolongado?</p></li><li><p>Ser&#237;amos como cobaias em um zool&#243;gico c&#243;smico, criados para estudo?</p></li><li><p>Tentaremos nos rebelar, mesmo com chances m&#237;nimas?</p></li><li><p>O processo seria indolor ou agonizante?</p></li></ul><h4><strong>O Transumanismo: A &#218;nica Sa&#237;da para Sobrevivermos?</strong></h4><p>Por fim, resta a alternativa de nos integrarmos &#224; IA <em>antes</em> que ela se torne superinteligente, dando origem a uma nova esp&#233;cie &#8212; os ciborgues, como s&#227;o chamados. Essa fus&#227;o entre humano e m&#225;quina digital (com a intelig&#234;ncia humana ainda no controle) &#233; o <em>transumanismo</em>: uma transforma&#231;&#227;o que nos eleva, mas gera dilemas profundos:</p><ul><li><p>Ainda seremos humanos?</p></li><li><p>Nosso lado humano controlar&#225; o digital, ou vice-versa?</p></li><li><p>Manteremos emo&#231;&#245;es aut&#234;nticas?</p></li><li><p>Haver&#225; hierarquias entre transumanos, impondo-se uns sobre os outros?</p></li><li><p>E os humanos &#8220;puros&#8221; que n&#227;o acessarem essa mudan&#231;a?

computing, and big data, the demand for data centers is growing exponentially. Global companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon seek strategic locations to establish these infrastructures, prioritizing sustainability, connectivity, and security. Brazil emerges as an attractive option, offering unique advantages that position it as a competitive hub on the international stage. This article explores three key pillars: the abundance of renewable energy sources, the privileged geographic location regarding submarine cables, the relative geopolitical stability compared to regions like the Middle East, and legislative opportunities for data sovereignty.</p><h2>Multiple Renewable Energy Sources</h2><p>Brazil stands out for its predominantly clean energy matrix, with approximately 86% of its electricity coming from renewable sources, including hydroelectric, wind, and solar power [1]. This sustainable composition not only meets the environmental demands of large corporations aiming to reduce their carbon footprints but also offers competitive costs. The country is a global leader in clean energy production, with 85% of its energy matrix derived from renewables, attracting data center investments by classifying these operations as energy-intensive, potentially eligible for preferential tariffs [2][3].</p><p>The expansion of wind and solar projects in Brazil&#8217;s Northeast provides abundant, low-cost energy, ideal for the intensive consumption of data centers, which may require hundreds of megawatts. Additionally, the government offers tax and regulatory incentives to attract such investments, making Brazil more accessible than regions reliant on fossil fuels [4][5]. This environmental advantage not only aligns with corporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals but also ensures energy resilience, reducing risks of disruptions due to resource scarcity.</p><h2>Geographic Location and Submarine Cable Centrality</h2><p>Brazil&#8217;s position in the South Atlantic makes it a central hub for international connections via submarine cables, enabling low-latency links to the United States, Europe, and Africa. Fortaleza, in Cear&#225;, is a key hub, with cables like the SACS (South Atlantic Cable System) directly connecting Brazil to Angola, providing fast connectivity to Africa [6][7]. Other systems, such as the South Atlantic Inter Link, connect Brazil to Cameroon and, by extension, to global networks, including routes to Europe and Asia [8].</p><p>This infrastructure allows data centers in Brazil to serve as a bridge between continents, reducing data transmission times to emerging African markets and established markets like the U.S. and Europe. With over a dozen cables landing in Brazilian territory, the country offers redundancy and expansion capacity, essential for companies relying on uninterrupted global connections [9][10]. Compared to other locations, this centrality minimizes logistical costs and enhances operational efficiency, making Brazil a strategic choice for multinational corporations.</p><h2>Few Geopolitical Issues Compared to the Middle East</h2><p>Unlike the Middle East, Brazil presents low geopolitical risks, reassuring investors wary of instability. Regions like the Red Sea face ongoing tensions, exemplified by submarine cable disruptions in 2024 and, more recently, in September 2025, when cuts to the SMW4 and IMEWE cables affected 25% of data traffic between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, causing widespread disruptions [11][12][13]. These incidents, attributed to conflicts involving the Houthis in Yemen, highlight the vulnerability of critical infrastructure in high-tension geopolitical areas [14].</p><p>In Brazil, political neutrality and democratic stability reduce these risks, with no threats of sabotage or embargoes that could impact operations. This contrasts with the Middle East, where investments in data centers may be deterred by international sanctions or regional conflicts, such as those in the Red Sea, which expose reliance on concentrated and vulnerable routes [15][16]. Thus, Brazil offers a secure environment, fostering long-term partnerships without the uncertainties plaguing other regions.</p><h2>Legislative Opportunities for Data Sovereignty</h2><p>Brazil has a strategic opportunity to create specific legislation that preserves data sovereignty under the control of the regulating country of the investing or user companies, provided these data centers are not connected to the Brazilian internet. This approach would alleviate concerns about content blockages hosted in these data centers, such as the temporary suspension of the X platform (formerly Twitter) in 2024, imposed by the Federal Supreme Court over content moderation issues [17][18]. With the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) already aligned with international standards and recognized by the European Union as equivalent in protection levels, Brazil could expand its policies to attract foreign investment by ensuring global services operate autonomously, free from local interference in content not directed to the Brazilian market [19][20][21].</p><p>Recent initiatives, such as the National Data Center Policy announced in 2025, which includes tax incentives and import tax exemptions for equipment, pave the way for such legislation [22][23][24]. By allowing international data transfers with contractual clauses or binding corporate rules, Brazil can position itself as a neutral hub, encouraging companies to invest without fear of domestic regulations affecting global operations [25][26]. This measure would not only boost the digital sector but also align Brazil with global data residency trends, strengthening its competitiveness.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Brazil combines energy sustainability, global connectivity, geopolitical stability, and innovative legislative opportunities to position itself as an ideal destination for international data centers. With growing investments and favorable policies, the country not only attracts technology giants but also boosts its digital economy. For global companies, choosing Brazil means betting on a resilient and efficient future, far from the turbulence affecting regional competitors.</p><h2>References</h2><ol><li><p>[Renewable energy source in Brazil, 86% of the electricity matrix].

artificial, computa&#231;&#227;o em nuvem e big data, a demanda por data centers cresce exponencialmente. Empresas globais como Google, Microsoft e Amazon buscam locais estrat&#233;gicos para instalar essas infraestruturas, priorizando sustentabilidade, conectividade e seguran&#231;a. O Brasil emerge como uma op&#231;&#227;o atraente, oferecendo vantagens &#250;nicas que o posicionam como um hub competitivo no cen&#225;rio internacional. Este artigo explora tr&#234;s pilares principais: a abund&#226;ncia de fontes de energia renov&#225;veis, a localiza&#231;&#227;o geogr&#225;fica privilegiada em rela&#231;&#227;o aos cabos submarinos, a relativa estabilidade geopol&#237;tica, em compara&#231;&#227;o com regi&#245;es como o Oriente M&#233;dio, e as oportunidades legislativas para soberania de dados.</p><h2><strong>M&#250;ltiplas Fontes de Energia Renov&#225;veis</strong></h2><p>O Brasil se destaca por sua matriz energ&#233;tica predominantemente limpa, com cerca de 86% da eletricidade proveniente de fontes renov&#225;veis, incluindo hidrel&#233;tricas, e&#243;lica e solar [1]. Essa composi&#231;&#227;o sustent&#225;vel n&#227;o apenas atende &#224;s demandas ambientais das grandes corpora&#231;&#245;es, que buscam reduzir suas pegadas de carbono, mas tamb&#233;m oferece custos competitivos. O pa&#237;s &#233; l&#237;der global na produ&#231;&#227;o de energia limpa, com 85% da matriz derivada de renov&#225;veis, o que atrai investimentos em data centers ao classificar essas opera&#231;&#245;es como intensivas em energia, potencialmente eleg&#237;veis para tarifas preferenciais [2][3].</p><p>A expans&#227;o de projetos e&#243;licos e solares no Nordeste brasileiro fornece energia abundante e de baixo custo, ideal para o consumo intensivo de data centers, que podem exigir at&#233; centenas de megawatts. Al&#233;m disso, o governo oferece incentivos fiscais e regulat&#243;rios para atrair esses investimentos, tornando o Brasil mais acess&#237;vel do que regi&#245;es dependentes de combust&#237;veis f&#243;sseis [4][5]. Essa vantagem ambiental n&#227;o s&#243; cumpre metas de ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) das empresas, mas tamb&#233;m garante resili&#234;ncia energ&#233;tica, reduzindo riscos de interrup&#231;&#245;es por escassez de recursos.</p><h2><strong>Localiza&#231;&#227;o Geogr&#225;fica e Centralidade de Cabos Submarinos</strong></h2><p>A posi&#231;&#227;o geogr&#225;fica do Brasil no Atl&#226;ntico Sul o torna um ponto central para conex&#245;es internacionais via cabos submarinos, facilitando a lat&#234;ncia baixa para os Estados Unidos, Europa e &#193;frica. Fortaleza, no Cear&#225;, &#233; um hub chave, com cabos como o SACS (South Atlantic Cable System), que liga diretamente o Brasil a Angola, proporcionando conectividade r&#225;pida &#224; &#193;frica [6][7]. Outros sistemas, como o South Atlantic Inter Link, conectam o pa&#237;s ao Camar&#245;es e, por extens&#227;o, a redes globais, incluindo rotas para a Europa e &#193;sia [8].</p><p>Essa infraestrutura permite que data centers no Brasil atuem como ponte entre continentes, reduzindo o tempo de transmiss&#227;o de dados para mercados emergentes africanos e consolidados como os EUA e a Europa. Com mais de uma d&#250;zia de cabos aterrizando no territ&#243;rio brasileiro, o pa&#237;s oferece redund&#226;ncia e capacidade de expans&#227;o, essencial para empresas que dependem de conex&#245;es globais ininterruptas [9][10]. Em compara&#231;&#227;o com outros locais, essa centralidade minimiza custos log&#237;sticos e melhora a efici&#234;ncia operacional, tornando o Brasil uma escolha estrat&#233;gica para multinacionais.</p><h2><strong>Poucas Quest&#245;es Geopol&#237;ticas em Compara&#231;&#227;o com o Oriente M&#233;dio</strong></h2><p>Diferentemente do Oriente M&#233;dio, o Brasil apresenta baixos riscos geopol&#237;ticos, o que tranquiliza investidores avessos a instabilidades. Regi&#245;es como o Mar Vermelho enfrentam tens&#245;es constantes, exemplificadas pelo rompimento de cabos submarinos em 2024 e, mais recentemente, em setembro de 2025, quando cortes nos cabos SMW4 e IMEWE afetaram 25% do tr&#225;fego entre &#193;sia, Europa e Oriente M&#233;dio, causando disrup&#231;&#245;es generalizadas [11][12][13]. Esses incidentes, atribu&#237;dos a conflitos envolvendo os Houthis no I&#234;men, destacam a vulnerabilidade de infraestruturas cr&#237;ticas em &#225;reas de alta tens&#227;o geopol&#237;tica [14].</p><p>No Brasil, a neutralidade pol&#237;tica e a estabilidade democr&#225;tica reduzem esses riscos, sem amea&#231;as de sabotagem ou embargos que possam impactar opera&#231;&#245;es. Isso contrasta com o Oriente M&#233;dio, onde investimentos em data centers podem ser dissuadidos por san&#231;&#245;es internacionais ou conflitos regionais, como os no Mar Vermelho, que exp&#245;em a depend&#234;ncia de rotas concentradas e vulner&#225;veis [15][16]. Assim, o Brasil oferece um ambiente seguro, fomentando parcerias de longo prazo sem as incertezas que assolam outras regi&#245;es.</p><h2><strong>Oportunidades Legislativas para Soberania de Dados</strong></h2><p>O Brasil possui uma oportunidade estrat&#233;gica para criar legisla&#231;&#227;o espec&#237;fica que preserve a soberania dos dados sob o controle do pa&#237;s regulador das empresas investidoras ou usu&#225;rias dos data centers, desde que esses n&#227;o estejam conectados &#224; internet brasileira. Essa abordagem removeria preocupa&#231;&#245;es relacionadas a bloqueios de conte&#250;dos hospedados nesses data centers, como o bloqueio tempor&#225;rio da plataforma X (antigo Twitter) em 2024, imposto pela Suprema Corte Federal por quest&#245;es de modera&#231;&#227;o de conte&#250;do [17][18]. Com a Lei Geral de Prote&#231;&#227;o de Dados (LGPD) j&#225; alinhada a padr&#245;es internacionais, reconhecida pela Uni&#227;o Europeia como equivalente em n&#237;vel de prote&#231;&#227;o, o pa&#237;s poderia expandir suas pol&#237;ticas para atrair investimentos estrangeiros ao garantir que servi&#231;os globais operem com autonomia, sem interfer&#234;ncia local em conte&#250;dos n&#227;o direcionados ao mercado brasileiro [19][20][21].</p><p>Iniciativas recentes, como a Pol&#237;tica Nacional de Data Centers anunciada em 2025, que inclui incentivos fiscais e isen&#231;&#245;es de impostos de importa&#231;&#227;o para equipamentos, pavimentam o caminho para tal legisla&#231;&#227;o [22][23][24]. Ao permitir transfer&#234;ncias internacionais de dados com cl&#225;usulas contratuais ou regras corporativas vinculantes, o Brasil pode posicionar-se como um hub neutro, incentivando empresas a investir sem o temor de regula&#231;&#245;es dom&#233;sticas afetarem opera&#231;&#245;es globais [25][26]. Essa medida n&#227;o s&#243; impulsionaria o setor digital, mas tamb&#233;m alinharia o pa&#237;s a tend&#234;ncias globais de resid&#234;ncia de dados, fortalecendo sua competitividade.</p><h2><strong>Conclus&#227;o</strong></h2><p>O Brasil combina sustentabilidade energ&#233;tica, conectividade global, estabilidade geopol&#237;tica e oportunidades legislativas inovadoras para se posicionar como destino ideal para data centers internacionais. Com investimentos crescentes e pol&#237;ticas favor&#225;veis, o pa&#237;s n&#227;o s&#243; atrai gigantes da tecnologia, mas tamb&#233;m impulsiona sua economia digital. Para empresas globais, escolher o Brasil significa apostar em um futuro resiliente e eficiente, longe das turbul&#234;ncias que afetam concorrentes regionais.</p><h1><strong>Refer&#234;ncias</strong></h1><ol><li><p>[Fonte de energia renov&#225;vel no Brasil, 86% da matriz el&#233;trica].
