This may look like unity but political leaders only arrange themselves in a sine wave when they are in heavy distress.

About a hundred reasons not to use Excel.

Yes, these are politely described as 'spreadsheet' horror stories, but we all know which bit of software we're really talking about.

3. When citizens are asked to recall a situation of politics, what do they think of, how did that situation feel, and how did it change their engagement in politcs?

My central question is how this relates to Vance/Thiel axis. I dont see a scenario how this actually splits a voter base, but it takes away one megaphone. My main concern however is that is symptomatic of an Christian-authoritarian shift, away from Musk chaos libertarian bend.

Gestern Interview mit Rheinischer Post zur Frage, inwiefern Zusammenarbeit BSW/AfD wem nützt oder schadet.
Jetzt laufen - wie erwartbar - die Mail- und Postfächer voll.

Wissenschaftsfreiheit stirbt auch damit, wenn so aktiv versucht wird, Meinungsäußerung einzuschüchtern.

Maybe @dingdingpeng.the100.ci @p-hunermund.com or @conjugateprior.org want correct me as they are more knowledgeable about this, but i would be doubtful at this point.

I am also not knowledable about development aid, but based on my knowledge of econometrics (which often tries to gauge causal effects from aid interventions) the reason noone has ever done this is that it would be pretty much impossible to do causally. Skimming the study doesnt change my impression.
