The Spreadsheet Prosperity: Why America’s Economic Vibe-Cession is Not an Illusion
To read the economic dispatches from Washington this July 2026 is to be told that we are living through a golden era of American prosperity.

Une décision qui pose une question existentielle : en renonçant à nos engagements écologiques au nom de la sécurité immédiate, ne risquons-nous pas de détruire précisément le monde que nous prétendons défendre ?

The Attention Economy Has Won. Now What Do We Do About It?
A decade after researchers began documenting the neurological effects of algorithmically optimised content feeds, we have amassed extraordinary evidence that sustained attention is declining across age groups — and almost no policy consensus on what democratic societies are entitled to do about it.
Canada Wants to Ban Kids From Social Media. The Real Question Is Whether It Would Work — or Just Make Everyone Show Their ID.
Bill C-34 would bar anyone under 16 from holding a social media account in Canada. Seventy-five percent of Canadians support the idea. Legal experts, researchers, and the teens it targets are considerably less sure it solves anything.
