Social philosophy

A large part of Greek society (combining various indicators and statistics, one can estimate it's approximately a third of it) is having difficulty making ends meet. If in previous years poverty was linked to unemployment, today the "strong" Greek economy is massively producing the newly poor - people who are poor or penniless even though they have a job.

Contrary to the constitutional principles of equality and meritocracy is a provision of law that does not count teachers’ prior experience in private education in the process of grading them for employment in public schools.

Silicon Valley's favorite philosophy, long termism, has helped to frame the debate on artificial intelligence around the idea of human extinction.

But increasingly vocal critics are warning that the philosophy is dangerous, and the obsession with extinction distracts from real problems associated with AI like data theft and biased algorithms.

I don't know if you've noticed, but lobster pasta seems to be back on the menu in many places, back in vogue. The question is whether this means that we're also back to the good old days of abundance. Growth is good for the country and its citizens. Growth generates wealth and this should be the goal.
