America: I feel I'm boldly going where no country has gone before

RIght now, the "5000 words every European should know" include Thermodynamics, #Bulgaria, Sagrada Familia, Hitler and Algorithms.

What's missing? Please tell me. See how and why here: https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/5000-words-for-europe-again

Still too few entries about #ukraine #russia #Latvia #Estonia #Lithuania and all of Eastern #Europe in general in this list of "5000 concepts every European should know".

I cannot know which ones they should be. Please YOU submit them, & pls RT:

Do you agree?

Pls read the proposal, let me know, and share it as much as you can. It would be wonderful to reach 5K entries before #EU2024 day!

Something like that may be the only shock big enough to reset the madness, and start using #AI sensibly. See these posts of mine at https://mfioretti.substack.com/archive
