Shefik couldn't deliver her full opinion due the the inappropriate disruption from the interviewer,, weird this interview done by the economist journal
Feel like you're being had? Don't be sad, don't be mad. The experts are in charge, be glad!
How much contempt do they have for the middle class if they think they need to use children's book inorder to communicate with the middle class
Tijtij As I wrote above, if this is true, same goes for Trump.
A large portion of political discourse from the general populace consists of one-sentence solutions to extremely complicated issues with some additional condescending language that the solution is incredibly obvious and that those that disagree are wrong, stupid, racist, etc. We (collectively) are already communicating at the level of children's books.
Maybe we should all speak in rhyme
Then in time
people won't be so blind
I like good video. Good video is liked by me.
Maybe communicate for non-violence and humanization instead of advocating for terrorism.
experts gave us roads?????????
Engineers and scientists are experts. Soicial science academic professionals are mostly bourgeois ideologists. Guiding and maintaining the interests of the capitalist class.
Hubris veiled in modesty
Hubris is absolutely correct. Look at her go in her congressional hearing from today. Resentful from childhood and blinded in her ideology.
This is horrifying. I do not want simpletons weighing in on economic, scientific or medical policy. They have no business doing so. What we need in the West is for people to either educate themselves to the point where they can constructively engage or defer to experts. The idea that Joe 6-pack should guide trade policy is insane.
I agree, but Joe 6-Pack then feels left out. When you get enough Joes with that feeling, bad things like Trump happen.
Yes but then they protest for an increase in minimum wage, while their purchasing power stays the exact same and think they've achieved what they've set out to achieve. At the end of the day, its a false victory and because they have no idea what their talking about they believe they've genuinely won.
I think we watched different videos.
Dr who? Zeus?
We don’t talk social mobility here in US. Stay in Egypt. Why are you here
When you really want to communicate with others you help them communicate what they want to say, you don’t just communicate at them. And your talking about communicating by using an example of how it’s difficult for people to read your work because they aren’t educated enough? That doesn’t sound like someone who wants to listen to impoverished people. It sounds like someone who is resentful and wants to tell people what is right and wrong. Once you actually get educated and learn how academia works, you realize how few people actually think critically themselves. A lot of very accomplished people simply adopt ways of thinking and spread it. Beware of people who harbor resentment and dedicate themselves to rectifying it. It’s easy to become blinded in your pursuits. Think of Thanos from Marvel.
