    If you had Ames, Iowa on your bingo card for hotbeds of innovation research β€” Bingo. Indeed the technology adoption curve (aka the most important curve in history) was invented by rural sociologists at Iowa State College some 70 years ago.* A little history.

    The technology adoption curve is probably best known in the form of Geoffrey Moore's "crossing the chasm" version. But where was it originally conceived?

    πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ If you're curious why the German pandemic response, which started out OK-ish, has descended into lunacy, let's have a look at one of its architects: health minister Prof. Dr. Dr. @Karl_Lauterbach, an MD who also holds a Dr.sci. from @HarvardChanSPC in "health economics". /1

    Das sage ich jetzt als Geimpfter: Die Versuche im letzten Winter, die Ungeimpften als Treiber der Pandemie anzuprangern und auszugrenzen, was so ziemlich das Ekelhafteste, was ich in den letzten Jahren in der Bundesrepublik miterlebt habe, und Sie waren da tief drin verstrickt.

    When everyone on the train takes their masks off and suddenly the internet works properly, you might think that's causal. But it's really just because we crossed the border into Denmark. πŸ‡©πŸ‡°

    πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Wer sich wundert warum die deutsche Covid-Strategie gerade in Richtung KlappsmΓΌhle abdriftet, sollte sich mal die Vita underes Gesundheitsministers Prof. @Karl_Lauterbach genau ansehen, ein Dr-med mit Zweitdoktor in "GesundheitsΓΆkonomie" von @HarvardChanSPH. /1

    Aus 13 Studien wurde rausgelesen, dass bei 243 Probanden ein relatives Risiko fΓΌr MaskentrΓ€ger von 0.13 existierte. Leider ist so ein relatives Risiko unmΓΆglich, ohne dass es zu einer massiven DiskontinuitΓ€t in allen Diff-in-Diff Studien kΓ€me. Deshalb: Tonne. 5 Minuten.

    Let's take a closer look at this Harvard doctorate, which he rarely ever fails to mention. It's, well, roughly forty pages of vaguely philosophical musings puffed up to 100 pages using the old "typewriter font" trick. /2

    So that's how we ended up in this asylum, elevating grifters to high academic and political sinecures. Selling any crap as a "science" as long as it's alarmist enough. 🚨🚨 And it's not only health policy. In Germany, this form of incompetence has become entrenched. /11&FIN

    In Germany he didn't do a post-doc, he didn't become a junior professor, but in 1998 the @UniCologne straight up handed him the keys to a newly created institute and a full professorship. Apparently no one had bothered to read his dissertation. /8

    So sind wir also in dieser KlappsmΓΌhle gelandet, in dem Hochstapler zu hohen akademischen Weihen emporgehoben werden. Sie verkaufen jeden alarmistischen Mist als "Wissenschaft". Und nicht nur in der Gesundheitspolitik. In Deutschland hat sich diese Inkompetenz eingenistet. /11πŸ”š

    The best thing about crypto/blockchain mania is that folks from all walks of life suddenly get all excited about accounting, databases, and elliptical curve cryptography..

    Die Idee, Sie hÀtten hier noch irgendeine moralische AutoritÀt, andere dafür zu kritisieren, was Sie selbst mitgemacht haben, zeugt schon von einer bemerkenswerten Überheblichkeit, die sich leider nicht aus Ihrem schwÀchlichen Lebenslauf ableiten lÀsst. Sie sind einfach nur...
