Absolutely crazy: A meta-analysis reveals that whopping ~90% of "studies" in one field (degrowth economics) are opinion pieces rather than real studies with actual data. Makes one wonder where the real science is, and where the opinions are drawn from in the absence of data!

How bad are Richard Lynn's 2002 national IQ estimates? They correlate at r = 0.93 with our current best estimates. It turns out that they're really not bad, and they don't provide evidence of systematic bias on his part🧵

"Suomalaisista 39 prosenttia pitää lottovoittoa [ja 9% yrittäjyyttä] todennäköisimpänä keinona vaurastua". Kun suhtautuminen vaurastumiseen on tätä tasoa, ei ihme että Suomi kyntää syvässä suossa. On maamme köyhä, siksi jää, jos kultaa kaipaa ken! hs.fi/talous/art-200…
