As an European, I am looking forward to a criss cross Europe road trip this dummer, visiting Tuscany, Monaco, Genua, Torino, Heidelberg and more…
Alessandro Palombo: “Everyone thinks Europe is finished. In 20 years, they'll wish they had bought in early.
AGI takes over. Productivity is infinite. Everything is automated.
So, tell me: what actually becomes scarce?
NOT another piece of software — but authentic human experience.
When machines handle everything, what do people crave? Beauty. Meaning. Significance.
And Europe has been accumulating that for centuries.
It's sitting on the most undervalued asset of the AI age:
- 500+ UNESCO World Heritage sites (the US? 25)
- The world's greatest museums
- 50M+ cultural tourists in France alone
- Centuries-old universities, libraries, cafés
- The birthplace of opera, ballet, fine wine
The real arbitrage? Owning land in places machines can't replicate.
In the AI age, people will split into two groups:
- New "landlords" stacking assets
- New "renters" living off AI welfare (UBI, digital credits, whatever comes next)
So where will the new “landlords” want to live?
Not in a sterile AI-optimized city. Not in a hyper-efficient pod.
They'll want Paris, Rome, Vienna. Cities that weren't built for algorithms, but for the soul.
Europe today is like Bitcoin at $10—misunderstood, underpriced, and wildly asymmetric.
I talk to global investors every day. The smartest ones see it:
In an AI-dominated world, the ultimate luxury won't be another software tool. It'll be the ability to feel human.
Europe has that.
What's your take on this?”
