Civilization
in the Age
of Agents
A manifesto for building European civilization in the age of agents—grounded in truth, dignity, and democratic maturity.
Read the ManifestoThe New Power: Agents and the Completion of Thought
A new layer has entered human life: systems that can hold context, extend our working memory, search the world's knowledge, and carry ideas into action. This is not merely automation. It is the arrival of cognitive partners—agents that help transform intention into reality.
The fundamental shift is simple to describe and difficult to fully grasp: The loop from impulse → clarity → execution has collapsed in cost and time.
“When execution becomes cheap, the world can produce more than it can judge. The critical question is no longer 'Who can speak?' but 'What deserves to be believed, built, and defended?'”— From the Manifesto
The Anchors: Culture, Values, Truth
Agents multiply capability. They do not automatically multiply wisdom. They accelerate whatever is already in motion—curiosity and care, but also fear and domination.
The anchors are not decoration. They are survival infrastructure. Without cultural grounding, democratic maturity, and epistemic discipline, agentic power becomes chaos.
The New Power
How agents empower us to complete thoughts, externalize cognition, and collapse the cost of execution—from impulse to reality.
The Anchors
Culture, values, truth, and democratic maturity—the grounding that prevents power from becoming chaos or manipulation.
The Builders
Education for real problems—transforming learners into civilization builders who can steer capability with wisdom.
Why Europe Must Lead
Europe's enduring advantage is not brute speed—it is depth: philosophical traditions, human-centric values, institutional sophistication, and cultural diversity. While others race to optimize for speed and scale, Europe can build an agentic future that is truth-oriented, dignity-preserving, and institutionally mature.
