When Efficiency Becomes a Past Value The +AI Age We are already in the +AI age. AI represents today’s modernization, and in this new era, pursuing ever higher efficiency is becoming a past value . Some white-collar workers believe they must survive by becoming more efficient through AI. But this assumption is flawed. AI does not need white-collar workers to achieve efficiency. Efficiency is what AI does best—by itself. The Importance of Task Scope What truly matters is not efficiency, but task scope . A very small number of humans must decide: • which tasks AI should handle • and which tasks AI should not handle Defining this boundary is a human responsibility. AI cannot decide its own scope in a meaningful or ethical way. What Comes Next Former white-collar workers need to abandon their old core value: “higher efficiency.” Instead, they must learn to see AI as a co-worker , not a tool— one that helps humans create unknown and previously impossib...

🌍 The “Triangle Model” in a Tripolar World: Every Nation Will Be Positioned Somewhere Along a Side As the world shifts into a tripolar structure —with the United States, China, and the EU/Third Bloc forming the three major poles—each country’s strategic position becomes stable not inside the triangle , but somewhere along one of its sides . This phenomenon can be described as the Triangle Model . 1. In a tripolar world, global power can be represented as an “equilateral triangle” The three poles are: • USA (blue): security, transparency, AI, democracy • China (red): resources, manufacturing, state-led stability, concentrated power • 3rd/EU (green): norms, moderation, international order, balance These three poles function as the primary gravity centers of the international system, creating a visible triangle-shaped tension field in global politics. 2. No nation can remain at a “vertex” → Each country naturally moves toward a side between two poles Sitting at a vertex ...

🌍 Why the EU Should Be the Model for the “Third Bloc”: The EU’s Role in the Emerging Tri-Polar Structure As the world shifts from a U.S.–China bilateral rivalry toward an emerging tri-polar structure , it becomes increasingly rational for countries outside the U.S. and China—the Third Bloc —to look to the European Union as their primary reference point for stable decision-making. Below is a summary of the key reasons. 1. The EU has deep historical ties with the Third Bloc Many of today’s Third Bloc regions—Africa, the Middle East, South America, Southeast Asia, and others—were once under the influence or administration of European powers. As a result, several foundational layers of their states are EU-derived: • legal systems • bureaucratic and administrative structures • parliamentary and electoral institutions • diplomatic vocabulary and international political concepts • educational frameworks (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.) In other words, much o...
