Turn of the times 2025: AI, Europe and the power of the individual

A standpoint, not an encyclopedia entry. A year-outlook by Tobias and Harald Alke – expressly personal opinion and worldview-based view. Background knowledge: encyclopedia entries Artificial intelligence and Collectivism and Individualism.
The eventful year 2025 goes to its end, 2026 stands in the starting blocks. The past years were marked by great changes – and the coming ones will, so our expectation, form no exception.
Artificial intelligence and the global shift of power
The theme artificial intelligence is on everyone’s lips and eludes, from our view, in its reach still the European zeitgeist. Whoever ignores it will soon stand before considerable challenges.
While Europe – so our reading – holds fast to old structures, the rest of the world strides forward: China has caught up in many critical technologies, up to the process engineering of modern microprocessors; the USA sets strongly on the AI race; other BRICS states extend their position. Europe, by contrast, tries, from our view, to hold its own above all with rules and bureaucracy – and thereby cuts off its own air. That is our subjective assessment, no scientific or political factual assertion.
A turn of the times – from our worldview-based view
For the Kyborg Institute this is part of a greater turn of the times. According to our tradition, the light-being Horus has said since ever that, with the erection of the 9-metre energy pyramid in 1999 in the south of France, an energy field arose that no longer lets rigid old structures “bite fast” – without unrest thereby being excluded. That is a worldview-based conviction, no fact.
We understand such upheavals like a strong fever: once it is over, old ballast is sweated out, and one goes forward with new power. Important in this is to keep a cool head and to meet the future with constructive thoughts.
Why the individual counts
True prosperity is grounded, from our view, not in the free availability of everything for everyone, but in the readiness to work out one’s own share. In this sense we quote Friedrich A. von Hayek:
“Modern civilisation, which enables us to feed four billion people, was made possible by the institution of private property. … If we destroy this moral foundation … we will destroy the sources that nourish today’s humanity.”
The success of the Horus energy pyramids was, from our view, only possible because Harald decided against a commune and for a protected space in which a young thought could grow. A thought that is daily disturbed by foreign influences – the “daily business of politics” – loses its value. More on this in the encyclopedia entry Collectivism and Individualism.
Inner centre instead of group compulsion
Against the hectic and the growing group pressure of the time, we set on the inner centre. Whoever has no energy pyramid we recommend a training of their own choice – especially our Energy Training. Set up for yourself a small, quite personal “temple”, a place that is shaped only in a positive sense; there you will experience strengthening and be harder to reach for the negative thoughts of others.
Heed positive thoughts: whoever wishes others ill or inwardly exerts pressure practises – in our language – “black magic”. An unreflected dealing with social media belongs, for us, to this too; one should consume such contents in measured doses.
From the institute 2025
Tobias was this year about three months at the 9-metre installation in the south of France and saw to maintenance and modernisation – delayed by local bureaucracy, but in the end successful. At the autumn full moon he meditated several hours in the particular vibration of the installation – an impressive experience, since we had never yet been there at this time of year.
In addition, we began in 2025 to distribute contents in the social media, and published around 120 videos – short formats with excerpts from our literature and practical suggestions; longer videos will follow.
We wish everyone a good close and a successful year 2026.
