This may sound like an overstatement, yet I believe it is not. If you are an academic and you do not fear the possibility of imprisonment, or worse, within the next decade—unless you significantly restrict your intellectual freedom—then you are not sufficiently concerned.

At least someone in liberal circles is starting to understand that we have to overcome Kindlerberger. In some conferences that I saw or attended recently people were still crying because there is no more stabilizer🙄🙄🙄

The USA voted against because of the preambular reference to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. For the US delegate the Agenda “impinges upon State sovereignty as a soft form of global governance".

I wish...

Instead is just skizoposturing

Now is the time to reopen the Eurozone bond debate The EU now has a unique chance to capitalise on investor doubts about the US and promote the euro as a reserve currency

Are you ready to get the debate on this reopened?

Young people have broadly liberal policy preferences—
Yet they are much more likely to vote for the populist right.

Olè

this is a very good question.

The vote at the European Parliament on ReArm Europe is the final proof of the Italian partitic parochialism and that the public debate in Italy is totally out of touch.

Il voto dei partiti italiani al PE su #ReArm Europe è la prova finale del provincialismo partitico italiano e che il dibattito pubblico in Italia è totalmente fuori dal mondo.

I mean, on the positive side, Trump is giving so many possible ideas and data for papers to scholars interested in trade.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

So suspension isn't necessarily evidence of bias www.nature.com/articles/s41...
