I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

Cosmology has the Hubble, Physics has the LHC, I guess sociology has Exiobase and WID. Not too bad, if you think about it.

Politik, so könnte man es soziologisch erklären, ist prinzipiell nie an wissenschaftl., sondern an politischen Kriterien interessiert. Es wäre dann interessant, herauszufinden, unter welchen Bedingungen eine Vergesellschaftungsweise entsteht, die den begründeten Anschein erweckt, es wäre nicht so.
Die FDP liefert also den Beleg dafür, dass es hier nicht um wissenschaftliche Kriterien ging.
Diese Aussage illustriert leider exakt das Problem, das @ndeitelhoff.bsky.social adressiert: Sie markiert einen parteipolitischen Besitzanspruch auf ein Förderverfahren, das eigentlich wissenschaftsgeleitet und wettbewerblich sein sollte. Ausgerechnet seitens der FDP.

Honest question: Where does M. Weber think do Protestantism and Calvinism come from? What are the structural features of a society that lead to Lutheranism? What could it be, that makes people really, really care about developing their ascetic professional lives with an almost religious fervor?
