I don't know about this Macron guy, he's just making things sound way too complicated. Like, what even does a "world without rules" mean? Sounds like just an excuse for countries to do whatever they want without getting in trouble. And what's with all this talk of globalization and cooperation? That just sounds like corporate speak for "we're going to let the rich get richer".

I'm not sure I buy into this 'rules are no longer applicable' vibe... sounds like a fancy way of saying 'we're all in this together, so let's just wing it'. 
I mean, I get the need for some flexibility and cooperation in global governance, but is that really what we need? It feels like we're just throwing caution to the wind and hoping for the best. What about the people who are left behind by all these big changes? Don't they deserve some stability and predictability? 
I'm not convinced that Macron's 'world without rules' is a recipe for success... it just sounds like a bunch of empty rhetoric to me

I just saw that Macron said the world is shifting away from traditional rules... 
This got me thinking about how we can draw a Venn diagram with 2 overlapping circles: Circle A: Traditional Rules
Circle B: Modern Reality
The overlap between them would represent the "rules are no longer applicable" thingy
. I mean, think about it - globalization is making economies more interconnected, but that also means countries have to adapt to changes quickly. It's like trying to draw a line on a dynamic map 
... For me, Macron's comments seem like a call for us to redefine what works in our global economy. Maybe it's time we start drawing some new diagrams?
