A circa-April-2024 French-language YouTube monologue arguing that Europe is losing industrial and technological leadership to China. The speaker laments the disappearance of historic European consumer-electronics and appliance brands (e.g., Grundig, Blaupunkt, Thomson, SEB, RCA), links factory relocations to loss of know‑how, and highlights a reported Chinese diesel engine efficiency milestone (claimed 53.09% thermal efficiency in 2024, up from ~51% in 2022). The video criticizes European climate/industrial policies (described as "neo‑Malthusian") and warns that banning combustion engines (target year cited as 2035) will accelerate deindustrialization and shift future innovations to China and other regions.
Good evening, my friends. I almost went to sleep and then I remembered a newspaper I bought earlier. Look, the United Kingdom. We have the biggest increase in the defense budget in a generation. So, you know, the next, the next. How should I put it? The next Tesla, the next Apple, the next stocks that will exceed €1,000 will probably be our metal. For example, in Germany, look at this tank manufacturer. It is really boosting itself. In fact, the defense sector is now going to see money pouring in by helicopter. Money is going to be thrown at them. And it's been practically since I was a teenager, I've seen promises of more money for schools, more money for hospitals, more money for infrastructure in Europe. But in fact, there are some for the climate, there are some for Covid, there are some for various ideologies, there are some for the military, for war. Not even for the military. Be careful. This is not money that goes to the military. It is money that goes to private companies that are involved in the arms industry. So that's it, my friends. That's how it is. By the way, before recording, I have a friend who wrote to me. He sent a message. I'm going to read it to you. I mean, I feel like I'm living in an absurdist way. Let me tell you a little bit about what my day entails like that. There are intellectual milestones that make up my day. I'll share with you. Transforming into a woman, more than €100,000 covered by Social Security. You. Yeah, well, Africans, since they don't have a way with words, when they practiced excision, what they should have done is they should have given it a slightly progressive packaging. And I'm sure that the security would be reimbursed up to €100,000, to €200,000. Anyway, that's not even why I came to talk, you know. I'll tell you something. When I was a teenager, I remember a certain number of brands that were in the house. I remember household appliances, I remember televisions, I remember radios, alarm clocks. All that. And the brands that I can name from memory, I'm forgetting some. If you have any, feel free to share them in the comments. I remember Grandig. I remember Blaupunkt. I remember Thompson. I remember Seb in the kitchen. We even had an RCA radio. It's American. Do you know what I mean? All these brands, they're gone today. They've disappeared. They're gone. They were French, German, European brands that manufactured excellent quality products. They were destroyed, sold, relocated. And when there's this relocation, I keep saying it. It's not just jobs that go. It's not just income, it's not just taxes, all that goes. No, it's also know how that goes. But be careful. It's not just know how that goes. It's the development path, it's the technological path, it's the march that goes. It's a story that will stop and start again somewhere else. A simple example. If at the time when Airbus was manufacturing the rustic Airbus 300, its first aircraft, it had been relocated to China, today we would be unable to manufacture an aircraft in Europe and we would be buying the Airbus 320neo, the latest ones to come out. We would be buying them from China. I'll give you an example today. This morning, I don't know if I can find it, I saw Nicholas Dupignen talking about the climate and talking about a story that he considered to be a kind of civilizational suicide. He was talking about combustion engines. There you have it. Nicholas Dupendinyan, he was talking about combustion engine stories. And in fact there's something. Look, I. I'd like to show you. I can't find it. Now I'd like to show you a piece of news that's from today. It's a piece of news that's from today. What's it about? So this is China releasing the first diesel engine with a performance or efficiency of 53.09%. Do you see what that means? Even the Germans have never achieved that. In fact, China is currently organizing a trade fair called the World Congress on the Internal Combustion Engine, just to tell you a story. It means that China, which has more than a billion inhabitants and many other countries which have, which are approaching a billion, like India and other Asian countries, Latin American countries are, are not in the process of seizing control, are not in the process of destroying everything to protect the climate or to manufacture. You know, we are in Europe in particular, in the west in general, but in Europe in particular we are under a. I don't like to use too many technical terms, but we are under a neo Maltusian ideology. Right? That's the reality. That's it. If you're looking, that's exactly means that we're really stopping. We're putting the brakes on. We're putting the brakes on civilization. We really want to stop everything and we know that it will cause damage, we know that it will cause deaths, we know that it will cause a lot of trouble and problems. But that's the goal. That's the goal. So let's get back to Our engine stories. The Chinese group that manufactured this diesel engine, well, it just broke a record. Whose record? You're going to tell me? The German record? Not the German record. It just broke its own record. It was at 51% in 2022. In 2022 alone, it broke a record in January. It broke another in November. The article tells us today, 2024, it has just passed the 53% mark. What does that mean? Just to give you an example, in terms of range, it's like when humans succeeded. It's like the first human managed to run the 100 meters, the 100 meters race in less than 10 seconds. That gives you an idea. It's really a big barrier, the C3% that has been broken. If you take a diesel engine, you put diesel in it, put a liter of diesel and, well, you can calculate chemically how much energy there is in one liter of diesel. If there is the combustion of a liter of diesel, how much energy there is, the engine will burn this diesel and will give you on the engine shaft. It will give you torque for a certain time. In reality, it will give you work. If you compare the energy that is in the diesel and the energy that comes out of the engine, you will see that you will never have 100% efficiency. Some of the energy has been dissipated from, for example, the engine will heat up. This heat is not movement, but it is not free. Energy has to be consumed for the engine to heat up. There is friction, all of that, which causes energy to be lost. Well, today, for the first time, we have reached 53%, oh, 9% of the amount of energy in the fuel will arrive in the form of mechanical work. They have pushed machining and manufacturing quality to the extreme so that their engine, even the Germans, the tuv, even the tuv, recognizes that neither BMW, nor Mercedes, nor Porsche, nor anyone in Germany has succeeded in this. By the way, BMW no longer manufactures combustion engines in Germany. And to tell you about the tweets from Nicolas Dupendigen, who said that Europe was not ready and all that for us to stop using combustion engines. 2035, in reality, I worked, you know, with the Germans, German clients who are car manufacturers, and also all the companies that revolve around it. The car is not just manufactured by one manufacturer. There are a lot of companies that revolve around it, that manufacture lots of parts for the car. You know what? These are people who think about 10, 15, 20 years before investing. Because the cycle, the return on investment of their machines, their robots, their factories, is not like in Technology. It's not that we manufacture something today and then in six months or in three years, we'll be profitable. These are calculations that are made over 10, 15, 20 years. What does that mean? That means that today we are in 20, 24. Today, in 10 and a half years, roughly in 10 years. Europe wants to ban the use of internal combustion engines. What does that mean? It means right now, Right now, and in reality, not even right now. In reality, it's been years, it's been months since car manufacturers started to withdraw from this market. They're starting to stop renewing factories, buying new robots, opening new production units, training people and all that. And so inevitably, inevitably, what's happening is that new developments, new developments, well, they'll be in China. A bit like the blowpunk, like the big one and all that. All these things, all this technological progress that took generations, that took generations of know how millions of hours of human work to get there. We stop it dead in its tracks for ideological reasons and transfer it elsewhere. Or they will continue to develop the flying car. By the way, on zero edge. Today they talk about China creating the flying car. Tomorrow the great inventions will not come from Europe. The great inventions will come from elsewhere. Will be elsewhere. Europeans will be watching it on tv, if we let them. Of course, that's something else, because it will end up being banned. I don't know, unless we use it a little to brainwash people. So we say we'll keep it. Anyway, I was saying that Europeans will perhaps be forced to watch extraordinary inventions that come from elsewhere on tv there are already extraordinary inventions that come from elsewhere. I wanted to tell you. So there you have it, my friends in Europe we are under the control, or under the jug of the civilization destroyer. These people are really working with a pickaxe. Here we showed the European a dying bear, a puny bear. We showed him a picture of a glacier that has split. And he is ready to throw generations of civilization in the trash. There you have it. That's how he is. There's nothing we can do about it. By the way, bears are not eternal, you know, they grow old, sick, and die like everyone else. Like humans, I want to say like civilizations too. Civilizations die from the inside. They die sometimes because collective intelligence, you know, collective intelligence has nothing to do with individual intelligence. You know, I've seen teams made up of very brilliant people. But global intelligence is not something that will add up. Sometimes it will even divide, right? It's a bit like loot. If we say Lasker manages to steal a million euros, they won't get 100 million euros. Right. It's going to be divided. Right. The sentences, they're going to add up, though. So I have the impression that intelligence is divided. The more intelligent people are, the more it divides, and then we end up with nothing at all. That's where we are in Europe. That's where we are. Thank you for listening to this video so far. I wanted to give you some good news. Well, the good news is that we're still alive, right? We're breathing. That's it. If you're listening to this video, you're alive. So that's already good news. But I'm having a hard time finding any more right now. While I'm going to press. See you soon and see you when you see me.
