‘Nederlandse universiteiten zijn te veel met zichzelf bezig’, vindt Marcel Levi de voorzitter van wetenschapsfinancier NWO. Met een budget van ruim anderhalf miljard is NWO de belangrijkste nationale speler. Universiteiten zijn niet alleen veel met zichzelf bezig, vindt Levi, maar brengen ook onvoldoende over het voetlicht „dat wetenschap de samenleving beter maakt”. nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/06/22/neder…

Lucky to have a chance to enjoy the little treasures of being alive in this world. Like the light illuminating a tree branch. Sometimes that's all we need.

I see that the brainwashing of the CIA and its mouthpieces in the media has affected you as well.

@Spartacus I am capable of using translations programs and understanding what is said directly without CIA interpretation. Again, why enrich to 60% if your purposes are peaceful?
