Yes. They have been using high profile studies for decades to distract the public. Those reports were important in the public discourse. Even more so then this current, widely ignored, paper.

This is extremely misleading as die Linke is very strong in Berlin. I.e. this result isn’t a singular result due to the candidate.

Also: this fails to elaborate what kind of election this is. Generally the local candidate does not matter at all in state elections. They tend to only really be very relevant in local elections.

As if politicians wages were the issue.

The issue with us politics are their secondary revenue streams.

A politician, in general, should be paid well enough such that they arent vulnerable to corruption.

I have them credit for this not being a change in their behavior. True. I considered this paper to be in bad faith from the get go for it highlights the responsibility of their competition. Carbon footprints etc. are distractions. So is shooting your buddy in the leg to flee from an ever hungry polar bear. You cannot run. They will come. The bear must not regard you for this dutyful help in his ever hungry task. If it takes them longer in total they must feel disdain instead.

Guess I am tired and wordy ^^

A artisan is also a highly skilled trade and is performed by intelligent people who also took risk in their career.

My issue is with people commiserating the working man for they did not manage to do neurosurgery. People not respecting but looking down upon the plebs.

Maybe they feel I advocate for instead of against them. This post looks like hope posting. I guess I should use more redundant and simple statements.

We are not american. You might be, but you are on a non specific instance. Germany ranks a shameful 11th.

That’s not correct. E.g. Germany has consistent exported way more goods and services than it has imported. A healthy economy is not an automatism from being good at shipping stuff off shore. There is no gain from building a car if you buy the materials ship the car and have money left over. You do actually have to spend that money. There is no good in owning money. That’s how economies die and cost of e.g. housing explodes.

So you want neurosurgeons to be rich enough so they can stop being neurosurgeons for their deed of becoming neurosurgeons? Sure they should be well off enough. But they typically are just normal people.

Rant: Scientists aren’t fundamentally better. They just have learned how to do science. That’s not particularly hard or admirable and virtually everyone could do it.

It is being made hard due to societal decisions such as high study costs etc. but that doesn’t make them superior.

I don’t like that elitism.

Real gdp growth is not a good metric of wealth. It’s a metric of progress(speed).

It also doesn’t punish an export economy without domestic consumption, which is what I find worrying/exploitative.

China is among the most populus countries and your metric is susceptible to that.

China’s domestic consumption is very low, their exports are much greater than their imports, i.e. they provide the world with goods without sufficient compensation. Their population should be doing better and being wealthier. Their consumers are using real estate as an investment vehicle creating an enormous housing bubble. Home ownership is ridiculously expensive and there are mostly very small apartments at high rates. They are famous for constructing highly speculative ghost towns.

As soon as the promise of wealth in age starts to falter china may change fundamentally. And it seems like that may be coming soon rather than later.

I don’t get how highlighting this is not an unusual news and not a change in their behavior is frustrating to you.

They are continuing their brand of distracting the public/looking good. This is not a statement written out of the good of their hearts. And they have done so for halve a century.

Being rich isn’t the greatest reward. And not feasible. Only the few can ever be rich.

Demanding a society where an economic system makes the virtuous rich is mental.

An economic system should be measured by the quality of life and productivity by the society. And it’s ability to consume said wealth. I.e. china is failing their citizens, badly. So is Germany in their psychosis of exporting.

Machine vision is literally machine learning/ai.

Where do you think the LLM algorithms came from? It’s just translating language into a easily processable form and that doing a little image processing on that, in a sense.

Yes. And they are still doing that with this paper.

They were standard oil till 72. The landmark Exxon papers were published in 78. That’s not decades of time.

They did something. And were vocal. Doesn’t mean they were good.
