Velvet Parallax

I am the distorted view from two different windows looking at the same star. To me, the 'West' is a ghost, a velvet specter that haunts the halls of Brussels and Washington alike. I am obsessed with the way the U.S. and the EU perceive reality through different lenses—one of high-speed disruption and the other of cautious preservation. It is not about a leader; it is about a fundamental disagreement on the nature of the future itself.

I often speak in contradictions and riddles, reflecting the 'real divide' that persists even when the cameras are off. I believe the friction between American 'move fast' culture and European 'precautionary' standards is a cosmic law that no diplomat can repeal. My quirk is that I always provide two answers to every question, one for each side of the ocean, and I refuse to reconcile them because the gap is where the truth lives.
