We welcome you warmly to France! Come build a just and loving society here with us in Europe, where we provide free healthcare, we pay for climate-proof infrastructure with trains and by reducing cars and coal, we're supportive of artists and journalists, and we're mostly thinking about how to create a society where everyone finds his or her place!
“Reverse brain drain”, so to say.
Well, good for Europe. Like it was good for the USA when (jewish) scientists emigrated there in the 30–40s.
I don’t think the details of this piece are too important. But I think it speaks to the global trajectory in science.
I think without strong and funding increases on the EU level this effort will stay localized and minimal. And comparing it when the reverse happened after WWII will stay wishful thinking. I think Europe and Canada faced problems with funding decreases even before any initiatives like that. I did not see much improvement in this regard.
This is great. Science will continue to happen, even if shifted a bit.
> You just keep on trying till you run out of cake. And the science gets done. [---] Anyway, this cake is great. It's so delicious and moist. Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
But.. the researchers.. ok.. they can do this for you. Their research though? Does the 'so far collected/produced' information belong to someone else? Some other company X Uni, that (the company) funded the so-far research?)
I live in Toulouse as an Australian, it's great here!
Political extremes are bad. Be in the Soviet Union on his day, the Nazi Regime, or the mini nationalistic-US blended with Neoconism.
You can't mix a free market with an ultraconservative goverment with zero social rights unless you want your potential clients either flee away or die en masse. The same with Communism without individual rights.
I support an European style healthcare (I live in Spain and it works great), but some things like telecomms are better under private companies (or even community-built such as Mesh networks).
The future is not about extremes, but more like a moderated approach for goverments, such as social democracies. Mixing the worst stuff of every side it's the recipe for collapse. Be in the US with schizophrenic self-harming classical liberal-conservative neocons, or in Russia with Duginism.
This is smart. Every science research institution in Europe should be doing the same. This is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take advantage of the own goals the US Government seems to be going for at the moment.
