That explains a lot actually. Powerful and simple explanation for the world we live in. However, pretty much the opposite of the so-called "trickle-down" mechanism... more like "trickle-up".
Well said. This matches my experience living for a long time in Germany (south and north), and interactions with French. I remember (from friends) the problems at DLR in Munich (German Aerospace Center) with senior French engineers trying to pull rank, which doesn't work in team-based German work culture.
Also, spot on with Anglo news coverage not really speaking for/ capturing the essence in continental Europe. E.g. current Anglo news criticizing northern European countries for 'austerity' measures (well, it's their money, so obviously they will not hand it out gladly).
It's an elusive topic with hardly any good information. Quite unusual to see such a balanced reply here.
Pierre Fournier does a super smooth rendering of all the suites... he's like a French machine, technically perfect & soulful interpretation. especially the 6th preludium is a joy to hear as he climbs up the stairway.
yeah, Casals is the man. don't like rostropovich rendition IMHO.
currently playing those Suites on a Carbon Fiber Luis & Clark instrument - luisandclark.com
Yeah, stuff with a scientific bend doesn't get shared, although it has impact. It creates its own niche, with considerably less noise.
Sorry to broaden the scope, but this made me think...
In stock markets, you have the concept of "noise traders", less well-informed traders. They sort of create their own dynamics, sometimes even generating good return on investments, where better informed traders stay out of the market.
Social dynamics... not sure if it's possible to derive some new fundamental laws, because human behavior is too fluid. Maybe in the end (after years of "big data" number crunching) all we get is some empirical observations and weak correlations.
I'd say not just scientists at CERN. This applies to most (nah... ALL) scientists: researchers, PhDs, Professors, etc.
They use very hideous design, or more accurately, nothing at all, on their research webpages.
And I am talking about a geocities-esque type of "design" here.
Sometimes I even wonder if there is an implicit rule around that goes on the lines of "real researchers must PRETEND they just learned html".
agreed. been looking at this for a while. If you're Canada based you gotta reach out internationally (Europe, U.S., Asia) to acquire funds, projects, ideas. Thinking domestic is not optimal.
