Who gets the credit for defeating the Nazis? In 1945, most in France credited the USSR. Today, most say it was the U.S. This chart shows how decades of Hollywood, diplomacy and soft power can reshape collective memory.

"Peeled Mandarin" by Roth van Egmond

9 mai 1966, l'une des pièces maîtresses de Revolver est enregistrée. Il sera difficile de ne pas placer ce titre dans le top 10 des compos de McCartney, à la condition qu'il soit possible avec lui de n'en choisir que 10. Même Lennon, parfois avare de compliments envers son partenaire après leur séparation, ne pouvait qu'admettre qu'il s'agissait là d'une merveille de composition. Brian Wilson a avoué que c'est un des titres de Revolver qui l'avait obsédé alors qu'il venait pourtant de publier Pet Sounds. La chanson parfaite par excellence, un "nombre d'or" musical dont McCartney a le secret. "For No One", The Beatles, 1966.

Sting said something that really stuck with me on CBS Sunday Morning: “All of us are in danger of losing our work to AI… everyone. Whether you’re an artist, a journalist, a lawyer — this technology could replace any of us.” His takeaway? The only thing that will truly save us is community — supporting the people next to you, looking out for each other. In a world racing toward automation and isolation, real human connection and mutual support might become our most valuable currency. I’ve been feeling this more and more lately — no matter how advanced the tools get, the relationships we build are what actually anchor us. What do you think — is community the real answer to surviving the AI revolution, or is there something else we need?
