@quantam_kitten @Puyangan5 they can do all kinds of mental gymnastics, shamika maybe a clown but i have thoroughly read how much Bengalis consume and what assets they own. it's just really sad decline i guess the only positive about that state is its relatively high life expectancy x.com/i/status/19858…

@Charvaksmriti 5% bengali households have a washing machine, less than 1/3 have a fridge, less than half use clean cooking fuel. this doesn't sound like wealth to me. i cannot imagine a comfortable life without these basics.

@Puyangan5 The bengali professor here has written a long ass 🧵 instead of actually carrying out some of the analysis that he is pointing out 🤡 x.com/i/status/20382…

@devsdey @ShamikaRavi @MamataOfficial @AITCofficial @abhishekaitc @MahuaMoitra @FinMinIndia 1. Growth rates can be charted in log-scale, unless any data point is negative-which isn't in the original chart. 2. Even if you remove the log-scale the overall narrative remains the same for WB - last ranked state among urban exp and among the slowest in rural! (1/2)

Old enough to remember how all these "experts" were going orgasmic about that fraud paper by Ashoka's Sabhyasachi Das conveniently ignoring all the statistical crimes committed in the paper. Same people are now upset over a tweet. Shameless scoundrels.
Dr. Subhasish Dey@devsdey

See the tweet @ShamikaRavi, a member of the Economic Advisory Council to the PM. Full of statistical fallacies and deliberate rhetorical inflation. Please see my points in the tweet chain. #EconTwitter @MamataOfficial @AITCofficial @abhishekaitc @MahuaMoitra @FinMinIndia

Eventually you realize status has a strong inverse correlation to expertise because the thing that appeals to the broadest range of people is appealing to the mean If you're so smart and compassionate, why aren't you poor when we live in a world where the last will be the first and the first will be the last?

a long time ago i had the experience of chatting irl with someone well known on twitter, well connected, well platformed, influential, etc. He was smart, seemed to have domain expertise in his technical field. But gradually over the course of the conversation I realized he didn't actually know what he was talking about. He used complicated words, but in subtly off ways, and would reply to questions with things that sounded like answers but actually weren't.He'd confidently reference concepts that I think he assumed I didn't know, but I did know, and I knew that the term he used didn't actually have anything to do with his claim, etc. But his confidence was intense and radiating, and the speed at which he talked and the complex vocabulary he used really disguised what I perceived to be both a lack of deep understanding of the material and also a lack of self-awareness that he didn't have deep understanding! I've def met people who disagree with me online who I think *do* engage deeply with the concepts, but this specific one didn't, and it was a little blackpilling for me to realize that he had such a following from a bunch of people who couldn't tell the difference.

@n00rdung @NathanpmYoung having an early demographic transition itself is an achievement tho and requires huge sustained effort and mobilization of resources.

@NathanpmYoung Burma, Laos, Cambodia, are not really doing much better than Africa. The biggest part of recent divergence is Asia having had demographic transition earlier, meaning there's fewer non-working infants which would lower the per capita scores.

I don't think colonialism explains why Africa has such low growth. Asia had colonialism too.

Recurring pattern. Something shockingly grotesque will happen. For a few days the only people talking about it would be those dismissed as internet cranks and bigots. Then a few days later, with some weasel words, it will be slipped through a 'respectable' mainstream outlet.

Bengal should grow. A cosmopolitan and tolerant city like Kolkata staying prosperous and culturally relevant is necessary for the overall social health of India.

exactly the kind ass backwards reasoning you do when your entire life & social circle lives in a heavily segregated bubble. ask yourself what is so special about india that prevents the proliferation of Wallmarts where shoplifting can happen in the first place
@drishtadyumna@drishtadyumn

I think we don't talk enough about how shoplifting is almost non-existent in Indian cities while it's so common in America, you can find endless videos online of Americans carelessly stealing shit just a weird phenomenon. "Low trust society" theorists must be in shambles.

India's low shoplifting isnt necessarily stronger norms. retail structure matters. Small, fragmented stores mean constant oversight and fewer opportunities. Large-scale retail prioritizes efficiency. low staff, high volume, thin margins. just rational to accept some theft as cost
