Bagnai,

I am writing to you because what happened on TV shook me and I don't understand why the league hasn't denied this hypocrite by showing the data on all networks. Ceccardi was offended by the Parsi professor, on TV, in front of everyone, since he had pointed out that European GDP is now approximately 50% lower than American GDP compared to 2007, when the condition was almost equal. A fair fact, quoted which, however, was overwhelmed by the insults of the Parsi professor, who attempted to deny a fact (which the sources tell us is true) in front of national TV. I wonder: isn't this very serious? Now quoting a piece of data correctly, which does not yield to propaganda, is it a crime? Given the success of the broadcast (where you also appeared in other episodes), wouldn't it be appropriate to disseminate the data on all the networks in the league's official channels (with the clip circulating online of the statements of Professor Parsi and Ceccardi) to disprove these hypocrites, who act so boastfully on TV? I am very afraid: if now even citing the data, the actual ones, leads to accusations of populism, we are truly in an obscurantist phase! We need to act together by showing that, yes, the EU's GDP in 2023 was 18 trillion, compared to the 27 of the states (18 + 9, i.e. their 50%, is twenty-seven. Ceccardi was telling the truth). The Parsi professor cannot be left unpunished for having humiliated a person with lies! Excuse me if I'm so spiteful, but now we have reached an insurmountable limit! If you can't even cite data, what's the point of going on a talk show?

…and since nature does not facit saltus:

The knowledge of the illustrious colleague, full professor of SPS/04 (Political Sciences, the faculty of those who were unable to study Economics and Commerce, when it existed…) appears perfectly in line with the evaluation of his scientific production given by international databases. An h – index equal to one means that around the world no one considers you: I would suggest that we behave according to the consensus omnium and leave this character actor to the role reserved for him in the vast plan of creation: that of embodying the role of the expert for the benefit of middle-class housewives. The fact that she doesn't get one right is entirely secondary to the fact that she certainly has what can be conceptualized by a provincial bourgeois sciura as physique du rôle ! The mystery remains of how in certain disciplinary sectors one can earn a professorship by having a scientific production of such depth and impact, while in others, with a production of equal international importance, one would not even have a doctoral scholarship. But this is not a blog about the sociology of science: there must certainly be reasons – it goes without saying! – and maybe they will even be good, if not excellent…

(… to give you a term of reference known to you:

that is, this character bibliometrically is a tenth of the writer, who, as is known, has been a full-time crude populist for seven years. Nonetheless, despite being rude, I am courteous to ladies. But we know: the muit is associated with the ending in "in": need we add anything else?… )

(… I don't believe that it is the task of the press office of a party to rectify a colleague who dishonors the profession by saying a solemn nonsense in public. It would possibly be the task of the university to call the colleague to behave in a less degrading way for the image of the academy. The fact is that, to tell you all, I didn't even know where he taught – also because I couldn't believe that he taught! After a brief research, I found that the problem is not ours, but his . Obviously he won't do anything to Let's say that if you are in Milan you know where not to send your child to university: if I'm not mistaken, where Borghi did it …)
