Translation by yours truly. Original source [A]
This entire day, something has been bugging me.
I could recall that I heard something in the radio this morning that made me think, how can anyone be so stupid, I need to write about this, but I forgot it by the time I got out of the bath. I knew I wanted to write about a topic today, but I didn't recall what it was.
That is terrible. I don't know if it is a sign of age, or if you just get used to these nonsense floods. There is this effect that the brain memorizes new things very good and in detail, but the more something becomes routine, the less it remains in memory. Maybe I have built up too much of a routine in dealing with nonsense and, by noon, I no longer know what nonsense I heard on the radio that morning.
But a reader reminded me again.
A Berlin-based research scientist - ... you know, when the story already starts with "Berlin scientist" ... - advocates for only giving driver's licenses to men after they are 26 years old.
I had three, four questions running through my head this morning while I was half asleep:
For instance, whether the professors in Berlin are so run-down right now that they just blather the most arbitrary crazy shit to still get talked about in the media.
Or why this dude is being passed for as a traffic scientist even though he is a political scientist and sociologist, thus on the far-left fringe in Berlin, and doesn't just pass his ideological shit as science, as the vast majority of professors do nowadays, but apparently even genuinely thinks it is science:
And that is the crucial point: They are trying to sell us a political agenda as science. We already know that from climate.
Or, in other words: The German "science", at least at the universities, isn't worth a damn. Especially not in Berlin.
People, what do you think, how much carbon emissions can be saved if you closed down the Berlin universities?
Driver's license for men only from 26 years up
On contemporary lunacy.This entire day, something has been bugging me.

I had three, four questions running through my head this morning while I was half asleep:
- Doesn't the constitution say that nobody may be disadvantaged because of their sex? How can you even become a professor if you don't even know that much?
- How do they want to know who is a "man" when everybody can declare themselves to be a woman or a cylinder head gasket?
- How do they want to know who is "26" years old when every immigrant can throw away their documents and declare an arbitrary date of birth or take on multiple identities? Then you are simultaneously 13 years old for child benefits and immunity from criminal liability and 26 years old for your driver's license.
- What do you even need a driver's license for? Didn't they recently say after a general police inspection that, in Berlin, roughly 10% of drivers do not possess a driver's license that passes an inspection?
