A privilege to live in a country ranking 5th among 193, regarding the Human Development Index 2023. This index includes developments in life expectancy, education and income. Yet, the slowing of the global trend reminds us to work more on improvement, and on equity! www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Wichtig in Zeiten, in denen unpassende Evidenz gerne durch Unbelegtes ersetzt wird! Schade, dass sektorale Aspekte etwas kurz kommen: So ist die Steuerung neuer medizinischer Technologien primär evidenzbasiert, und in der EU werden dazu Standards gerade ausgebaut. www.leopoldina.org/uploads/tx_l...

Jill Lepore hat Elon Musk erforscht. Er präsentiert sich als Futurist, identifiziert sich aber mit Comichelden des vorigen Jahrhunderts. Seine Ideenwelt ist noch älter und gefährlicher: Sie stammt von seinem Opa.

Indeed the State of Liberty has been looking around Europe for places to stay. At the south tip of wonderful Lake Neusiedl in Austria, she yet turned around shocked when hearing the winds blowing over from Hungary.

A potential weakness in the simultaneous US #tariff attack, have impacts responses co-ordinated not within, but between non-US economic blocs - such as EU and others - been discussed? If such responses have potential to lessen losses, they could even be combined with mutually assured other benefits.

The severe diplomatic & political abuse of #Selenskyj by #POTUS & #VP has come as a major surprise to many. Hal #Brands‘ striking analysis, published one day earlier, indicates that a risk for it could yet have been on our radar. Could this even have been the case, for Kamala #Harris‘ campaign?

Just listened to below 2-weeks old, fine sketch of the benefits of a co-operative #US strategy in #globalisation. Yet today, this sounds like a decade ago, with second-term #POTUS just having charged again former ally #EU to be a foe, at least in economic terms. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/w...

VP #Vance's definition of #freedom-of-speech disregards detrimental impact on others. Upon democratic societies having agreed to regard such impact, he wants to impose his definition. He thus ignores their democratic values, in order to pursue political, and business aims. orf.at/stories/3385...

Trump on Ukraine: "I think I have the power to end this war. And I think it's going very well. But today I heard, 'Oh well we weren't invited.' Well you've been there for three years. You should have ended it three years. You should've never started it. You could've made a deal"

Congratulations to #MSC for providing a unique global forum, a regular base for critical discussions for those prepared to accept the rules. #MSC has included remarkable historical events. Let us hope key players will stay, or become, prepared enough to include them in your invaluable work.

#US where are you going, your values, your power, your politics? To reject European allies at the #MSC, #VP presented his idea of 'free speech'. It did not include woke science or administration, by the way. #POTUS seems to have opened negotiations with a foe, with presents, and is applauding VP.

#Trumps choice for back to plastic fits well with promoting oil and ignoring the external effects. #Microplastic issues and measures had been compiled by the #Biden administration. Voters now have the advantage of either plastic risks having been just exaggerated, or not remembering any more anyhow.
