(2/4) ... (der #Neoliberalismus bildet hierbei das Vorstadium): das geht sowohl über Rot-Grün - wie über AfD oder CDU/CSU. #Inkompetenz gepaart mit moralistischer Selbstüberhöhung, bzw. skrupellosem #Lobbyismus und #Klientelismus - ...
(3/4) ...- bei fortschreitendem wirtschaftlichem Verfall und #NATO-überwachter transatlantischer #Loyalität, schreckt man vor keiner #Hexenjagd auf anders Denkende, besonders #kompetent und #rational nachvollziehbar Urteilende, zurück, im Gegenteil. ...

@docstobar examines Iranian experiments with metaphysics that question the way in which institutions engage with #occult #scientific #rational #empiricist an embrace of #new_age spirituality and a rise in #irfan and its #empiricismoftheheart - a thread on #irfan in #Iran 1/
It shows that our assumption of disenchantment in which the separation from the #scientific from the #occult does not preclude the possibility of the #modern scientist-rammal nor the embrace by the modern empiricist of the illiterate-savant-gnostic-sage 2/
It also suggests that the official seminary’s promotion of a modern viable #Shii_reason clashes with its own #mystical commitments and their popularity 3/

Information.
Do journalists have more information than is found in XBRL Earnings Reports?
If they do, they have either:
- Estimates of demand
- Insider information which is not yet public
- Intent to sell news articles and move the price up or down
The CEO and CMO must play this game daily.
