15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

A year ago, I launched my book #OnFreedom in a war zone – in Kharkiv, Ukraine, 35 seconds from Russian artillery. Today, I'm launching the paperback in Portland, Oregon. Which is NOT a war zone. There is a difference in the real world between what's a war and what is not, and between truth and lies.

Al Gore at the Norges Bank climate conference just now: ”The fossil fuel industry is significantly more effective at capturing politicians than capturing emissions“

På klimakonferansen, som ofte ellers, fokuserer vi økonomer ofte på BNP/vekst. Dette er først og fremst fordi vi kan måle/verdsette slike effekter, og det underestimerer effektene:

Here is an actual image of the national media cycle quickly moving on from the No Kings protests...

Roper varsko Regjeringen gir friske milliarder til militær støtte til Ukraina. Men at den sivile støtten finansieres ved å kutte i hjelpen til verdens fattigste, truer selve bærebjelken i norsk bistand. Derfor rop...

Norsk bistand må fortsatt bidra til langsiktig utvikling og humanitær innsats utenfor Europa. Det er ikke bare et spørsmål om solidaritet, det er også i vår egeninteresse å utrydde ekstrem fattigdom, stanse miljøkrisene og bidra til en fredelig verden.

Do You Know What I Know? Steven Pinker argues that common knowledge makes the world go round—and off the rails.

Common knowledge, according to the psychologist Steven Pinker, isn’t just what we know; it’s what we know is known. How does it shape our shared reality?

Årets Nobel Fredspris er delt ut i demokratiets navn.

Den demokratiske tilbakegangen er blant vår tids største utfordringer – nivået i dag er som i 1986.

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists.

50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path.

Fredsprisen til María Corina Machado treffer tidsånden Årets fredspris er en påminnelse om at demokratiets fremtid hviler på dem som våger å protestere uten vold.

‘Fredsprisen til María Corina Machado er … mer enn en personlig anerkjennelse. Den er en påminnelse om at demokratiets fremtid hviler på dem som våger å protestere … .’

How over- and underrepresented are different causes of death in the media?

Another way to visualize this data is to measure how over- or underrepresented each cause is.

To do this, we calculate the ratio between a cause’s share of deaths and its share of news articles.

Styrelederen grep inn da Meteorologisk institutt nektet å svare journalist Ledelsen ved Meteorologisk institutt får refs fra sin egen styreleder for svarnekt til journalist som lurte på hvor finværet befant seg. Nå havner saken på Stortinget.

Altså, det er fullstendig skandaløst og horribelt det styreleder Kristin Vinje ved Meteorologisk institutt gjør her, nemlig å overstyre egne forskeres håndtering av media: www.khrono.no/styrelederen...

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Den største trusselen for et svekket Nato er den framvoksende fascismen og isolasjonismen i USA, ikke at Europa tar mer ansvar for egen sikkerhet.

Den gamle franske linja om sikkerhetspolitisk uavhengighet fra USA har i etterpåklokskapens lys vist seg å være ganske fornuftig. Kanskje lytte nå?
