Few political declarations in modern Britain have been as definitive — or as divisive — as Margaret Thatcher's insistence that "there is no alternative" to capitalism. To supporters, it was a defence of discipline, enterprise and economic realism. To critics, it signalled a narrowing of the moral code: a system elevated above its social cost.
Decades later, Britain still argues about the moral status of capitalism. Is it the engine of prosperity and innovation, or a system that rewards greed and entrenches inequality? The disagreement is not purely economic. At heart, it is a dispute about human nature — about whether competition reflects strength or moral failure.
FIX THE WORLD, the international non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing a scientific explanation of the human condition, was founded by Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith. The organisation suggests that both sides of this argument are addressing symptoms rather than causes. It advances a comprehensive biological explanation of the human condition — an account that has drawn praise from figures in psychology, anthropology and the biological sciences.
Rather than asking whether capitalism is just or unjust, FIX THE WORLD poses a more fundamental question: why are humans so psychologically driven to compete at all?

Sanctuary AI continues to lead the way in intellectual property for humanoid robotics.
In this new IAM interview, our SVP of Intellectual Property, Thomas Mahon, discusses how Sanctuary AI’s strategy in IP underpins our competitive edge in the emerging field of Physical AI—from dexterous hands and tactile feedback, to the cognitive systems that power our general purpose robots.
“... we’ve spent the last five years building one of the most robust and strategic patent portfolios in the field to ensure we remain highly differentiated and well-protected as we realize Physical AI for general-purpose robots. We anticipated this would become a fiercely competitive space and so made the decision early on to invest in both direct patent filings and strategic patent acquisitions.” — Thomas Mahon, SVP of IP, Sanctuary AI

On October 7, @CGTNOfficial aired its documentary Les Gardiens Du Patrimoine🎬, spotlighting the Digital Heritage Team of Zhejiang University (ZJU)’s Institute of Cultural Heritage 🏛️, which uses cutting-edge technology to protect thousand-year-old grottoes ⛰️. Centered on the Feilaifeng Grottoes and the Site of Liangzhu 🏯, the film showcases how ZJU applies digital modeling and 3D printing 🖥️ to make “immovable” cultural relics accessible through remote display and long-term preservation.
From 3D scanning 🔍 to algorithmic reconstruction, from meticulous lab restoration to cross-cultural communication 🌏, the ZJU team brings ancient civilizations back to life—bridging traditional wisdom with modern innovation.
This is not only a fusion of technology and art, but also a solemn commitment to safeguarding human civilization 💫.

"La physique classique est une branche de la physique quantique", rappelle le prof. Vincenzo Savona. À l'EPFL, le développement de l'informatique quantique est une quête "aussi ambitieuse que la conquête de la Lune", menée notamment par le @QSECenter_EPFL. actu.epfl.ch/news/la-quanti…

Robots need compliance! Today's commercial robotic arms are like sledgehammers: strong and immovable. They were optimized for factories, but as physical AI advances and we deploy robots for non-industrial tasks, like dishwashing or food prep, we need arms that are both strong AND gentle. That's what we make at Animo Robotics, a pre-seed stage company with an MIT founding team, backed by Amplify Partners.

LUO Wenshen, one of only three FIVB International Grade A Referees in China 🏐, brings profound expertise and extensive judging experience to the court, standing out as a distinguished Chinese presence in international volleyball.
At the first #ChinaASEANWomensWushuChampionship2025, XU Man served as Assistant Head Judge. From explaining rules before matches to overseeing competitions, she advanced the exchange and development of martial arts in the ASEAN region through professionalism and fairness.
As faculty members of Zhejiang University 🎓, both have left a remarkable “ZJU imprint” on the world stage—with their professional judging standards and rigorous dedication.
