Does the idea that "only humans can recognize shapes" sounds ridicolously outdated? Its like "Science confirms animals feel pain".

Given the ways of the current US administration, not so sure if that is even something open to discussion.

Why does everything need to devolve into a discussion or comment about US politics? Not everyone cares that much about it.

Because of the ways it influence modern life, and technology choices.

Those that don't care will eventually find themselves on a situation where they will care, by then it will be too late.

I care, but mostly about my country, then my continent, and only them I'm roughly aware of things happening in other large countries (Russia, China, the US). I still don't see why comment about the US administration is relevant here.

The University of Tübingen is in Germany.

It isn't as if European countries are free of such problems, with similar minded parties, and since you mention Germany, AfD keeps increasing their size.
