Though, I think it’s pretty obvious by now who I’m talking to.
If the wind is blowing, then what exactly is the barometer showing?
What a joke. Pure stupidity.
"Professor," if you want to play scientist in your field of guesswork—because real forecasting requires much deeper analysis—you should have put more effort into that multivariate econometrics of yours. If you had actually done the work before jumping into this "alternative history" map-making, you would have started with these assumptions.
The USSR and CZ both collapsed. Even if that failed experiment known as America had somehow survived, it likely would have joined the European Union under the exact same climate and conditions as Romania or Bulgaria. You could have actually put together a decent comparative analysis of economic development—looking at Slovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria—and plugged those figures into your quasi-analysis. If you did that, your argument might actually start to resemble something coherent. With a basic grasp of macroeconomics, statistics, and how economic growth shapes cities and regions, you'd realize the data you need is public. You could have built a truly compelling map of the region.
You’ve retreated behind a basic mathematical formula just to shield your own amateurism. It’s telling, really. The way you obsess over people's identities—as if knowing "who's who" actually matters—is a perfect window into your character. It shows exactly how you operate: using distractions to defend the indefensible.
What was that line the grandfather said to his grandson in that old American film from the eighties?
Break down the math and draw up an ethnic map for the Nobel Prize and Grandpa’s legacy.
