Please check out Morning Brew - a business, finance, & tech newsletter I actually read. (Plus, it's free): https://morningbrewdaily.com/hoog This is a video on the urban planning behind Paris that was led by Haussmann. It describes him, Louis Napoleon, and his team's strategy regarding roads, creating focal points like the Arc de Trimoph, overall architecture, green spaces, limestone, wrought iron, and water management. There are so many details I had to gloss over because of the length of the video, like the larger architectural feats like Les Halles, Louis Napoleon's role in the overall process and his obsession with urban planning, the extent of the destruction and the entire network they constructed, and the more specific requirements they had for overall buildings and street furniture and boulevards.

This is a video on attention grabbing (particularly on YouTube) and how it harms what would we consider "high quality content." I have no dogs, so I'm not saying that I'm right on this topic by any means, but I have seen a lot more discussion surrounding social media platforms manipulating our attention more than I've seen discussions on the content that is on those social media platforms. From TikTok to Mr. Beast, to the channels that try to emulate him, what we see time and time again is that the content we consume is incredibly attention grabbing, and there are some tricks that are constantly being used, like rapid cutting or rapidly revealing text.

I can be wrong, and I will be wrong. Please check out IntoEurope. It's a great channel that is extremely bingeable and produces European content (if the name didn't give it away already): https://www.youtube.com/c/IntoEurope Sources: The source document will always be posted on the website: https://www.romuluseurope.eu/youtube/america-is-not-europe/ About this video: This is the most American-centric video I think I will make a in long time. I am not trying to claim that these differences between the United States and Europe are the most relevant (consumption tax and inequality overall, education financing, coddling of Americans, and the political system generally), or that these are the only differences that exist. I made this video mainly because I've always felt that Americans and Europeans both engage in just looking at each other and thinking there are these simple differences that could be tweaked easily, and I just think that's far from the case. There are a lot of large and relevant differences between the two regions. Also, this video engages in a bunch of generalizations, and there are enough relevant differences between 'East' and 'Western' Europe already not even including the differences with the US. That being said, I wouldn't be making this channel if I didn't think there were more similarities between Europeans that we would care to admit.

The team contact details: twitter: @ArthurVijg123 twitter: @romuluseurope email: [email protected] About the video: I've seen a lot of videos covering Belgium, more specifically the divides between Flanders and Wallonia, but I always feel like they haven't done justice to the relationship between the Walloons and Flemmings. Usually, it doesn't touch upon Catholicism, the more concrete policy decisions, the underlying history, etc., etc. So, hopefully you'll enjoy this video, which also tries its hardest to give this political situation the respect it deserves. About us: We are a team of Europeans trying to create a European media platform. Feedback is extremely useful, and it's incredibly important to understand that we are by no means the arbiters of truth: we can be wrong, and we will be wrong. Also, there is a large difference between fake narratives and fake facts. Although we will try to stay as close to the truth in presenting objective facts (i.e there are 27 EU commissioners not 10), it is much more difficult to stay close to the truth when it comes to important narratives. What the team decides is 'news' can shift the attention to a certain set of facts that may be true but may not be as important for other people, and this is where bias can easily come to fruition. We ask the viewers to be aware of our bias and realize that, just like them, we are an imperfect team pushed by our own moral convictions and beliefs.

Europe is Ageing. Europe’s fertility rate is declining. The share of Europe’s population that is old is increasing, and the share of the population that is young is getting smaller. That trend will impact pensions, health care costs, international relevancy, and the solutions are unclear.

If you live in a pretty large European city, it's very likely that you've seen a fast grocery delivery company like Getir, Gorillas or Flink. What may stand out is their presence everywhere, be it through their riders or their advertising that you may have even seen before watching this video. We try to unpack what these companies are, the value proposition they offer, why you see them everywhere, and why they have grown so fast in Europe.

What: The AUKUS deal between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia has destroyed the French Australian submarine deal, and it indicates a changing foreign policy future where the three Anglo-Saxon countries are becoming increasingly involved in the Indo Pacific while a country like France, and the European Union seem to be being left behind.

What: Erasmus is one of the most popular programs that the EU offers. However, the exchange, which is a smaller part of the general Erasmus+ program, has been criticized for being elitist and creating a bottleneck for making people feel more European. We discuss the 'Erasmus effect' and relate it to future policies that are being considered. Sources: Sources can be found on our website at www.romuluseurope.eu On that website you can find opinion pieces, interviews, analysis articles, and source documents that all work towards a common goal: make Europeans more informed, confident, and excited about the future of Europe. If you are a European with a passionate view on something related to Europe and or want to get in touch with us, please send us an article or just an email: [email protected] About Us: A team of Europeans that are tired of the lack of supply of European content and, quite honestly, the quality of what already existed.

What: The European Media Company Axel Springer just bought Politico for one billion dollars, which is just one more addition to its massive portfolio that includes other brands like Business Insider and Morning Brew. Why: Any European media company that is making one of the largest media deals in recent history should be better understood. And the content out there detailing its rise is lacking. Sources: The sources for the video can be found here: https://www.romuluseurope.eu/ About us: We are a team of Europeans trying to create a European media platform. Our motivation is relatively simple: there is a demand for European content that is presented in an attractive format without convoluted academic jargon, but the supply does not exist. We think many Europeans are interested in learning about European geopolitical and business developments that maintain and strengthen Europe's position internationally. Feedback is extremely useful, and it's incredibly important to understand that we are by no means the arbiters of truth: we can be wrong, and we will be wrong. It's important for any platform that produces content to make the distinction between fake narratives and fake facts. We will always try to stay as close to the truth when presenting objective facts (e.g there are 27 EU commissioners not 10), but it is much more difficult to stay close to the truth when it comes to deciding important narratives. Our team may decide that content on European business is particularly relevant, but for many others it isn't relevant at all. What we decide to publish can shift the attention to a certain set of facts that may be true but may misdirect people's attention to content that isn't particularly important for them. We ask the viewers to be aware of this and realize that, just like them, we are imperfect and pushed by our own moral convictions and beliefs.

Europe is pouring billions in investment for semiconductors over the next decade. This video touches on why Europe is putting so much money into microchips, both from a geopolitical and technological standpoint, and it explains how that money may be used.

What: We made a video about Peter de Vries's death and organized crime in Europe. Honestly, this was a sensitive video, and we weren't entirely sure how to do it correctly. We hope that the video does something in regards to educating people about the threat of organized crime in Europe. Why: Peter de Vries's death shocked us, and we think it's fundamentally important for people to grasp the bigger picture of what makes such a heinous crime like shooting someone in broad daylight possible.

What: A video about how Europe experiences brain drain through lost companies and people. Why: There can be large tangents about the value of the company climate generally, but it's important to understand what things are taken away by the country across the ocean. How: We use primary and secondary sources to insulate an argument about stolen human capital, and this video is by no means unbiased.

What: A video about how to become an EU official and how it may feed into the conception of Europe as a technocracy. Although technocracies are often related to meritocracy, which is treated as a universal good, the EU's selection process can cause some problems in regards to national representation, ease of getting recruits, and feeding into the 'eurobubble.' Why: We thought it was important to describe a bit more of how someone can get into the EU, what this process means, and why some people are quick to talk about 'unelected bureaucrats.' How: We took a bunch of primary and secondary sources on the EPSO EU selection process and also more opinionated articles on what the potential ramifications could be.

Europe may potentially have a space problem. Not so much in terms of having an independent agency that can invest in space, but in terms of keeping up with an age of space that will be centered around commercial space ventures. We will be uploading videos for Europeans covering European topics. The breadth of media for Europeans covering Europe is limited, and we hope to challenge this. Everyone in the team is European.
