Being a master of detail is one of the most challenging skills. Especially in social life.

Dr. Jozef Bátora: How Powerful is the EU? The Reality of European Diplomacy
A new video on the Diplomatic Nexus YouTube channel: my conversation with Dr. Jozef Bátora about the European Union’s diplomacy, the organization and the functioning of the EU diplomatic service. Dr. Bátora is a Professor of International Relations at Webster Vienna Private University in Vienna and at the Department of Political Science, Comenius University in Bratislava. He was also a senior researcher at ARENA Centre for European Studies, University of Oslo, researcher at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna, and visiting scholar and visiting professor at Stanford University.
I recommend it to anyone interested in the EU and European diplomacy.
The Dance of Rebellion and Humility
Some people combine intellectual humility with emotional rebellion, while others pair emotional humility with intellectual rebellion. These states seem to balance each other out. When emotional and intellectual humility coincide, an internal, “underground” revolution of consciousness occurs. And when emotional and intellectual rebellion resonate together, an evident, “above-ground” transformation of the individual and society emerges, changing the world.
A little note about me
The Daily Art of Diplomatic Practice
A new video on the Diplomatic Nexus channel: my conversation with Dr. Jeremie Cornut on diplomatic practices.
Education and Character
Education is important but character is no less important.
Tennis as Battle of Characters
Why is tennis so popular among a wide range of TV viewers? I think one of the reasons is the opportunity to watch not just a tennis match, but a battle of characters. Famous tennis players are famous personalities and characters. Even pauses during a tennis match serve to demonstrate the character of the players. Other netball sports can be no less interesting than tennis, but we know little about the athletes in these sports as personalities and characters. Therefore, all of them are inferior to tennis in terms of watching a battle of characters.
IT technologies and Everyday Life in America
Here’s the English translation:
I notice that everyday life in America is becoming increasingly technological, or more precisely, increasingly connected with various IT technologies. Perhaps this doesn’t apply to everyone, but in the last couple of weeks, I’ve had to download about 10 mobile applications – ranging from door locks to university system registration. Just wait and see what’s next!
Conversation with Dr. I. William Zartman
Just published yesterday’s conversation with the brilliant Professor Dr. William Zartman on the Diplomatic Nexus channel. At 90 years old, he continues to inspire us with his attitude toward scholarship, diligence, productivity, and his endless curiosity for discovering the new around us. Let’s wish him good health, a long and fulfilling life, creative breakthroughs, successes in his work, more books and articles, and engaging questions and answers!
