Suomi haluaa itsepintaisesti kansalaistensa pysyvän köyhinä. Perintöveron poisto olisi helppo ja oikeudenmukainen tapa auttaa pääomia kertymään ja yksilöitä ja sukuja vaurastumaan, mutta jostain syystä helpot ja toimivat ratkaisut eivät kelpaa poliitikoille 👇.
Verottavan perinnön alaraja lapselle vuonna 2020 (USD):. 🇺🇸 11 580 000. 🇩🇪 456 879. 🇫🇮 22 844. 🇸🇪 ja 🇪🇪 selviävät kokonaan ilman perintöveroa. Lähde: OECD

Yet another unbearable personality trait to complement psychopathy, machiavellianism, and narcissism 👇.
Psychologists have identified a personality trait they call the Tendency for Interpersonal Victimhood. It reflects a chronic sense of being wronged, and includes four key components: Need for recognition; moral elitism; lack of empathy; and rumination. [Link below.]

This example of total *loosening* rather than tightening the laws on child sexual abuse is so disturbing that you have to check Google / GPT / Grok multiple times to believe it is true. Unfortunately it is.
Before 1979, the legal age for marriage in Iran was strictly 18 years old. After the 1979 revolution, it became 13 for girls and in some cases 9 with "fatherly consent". My anger with this regime goes far deeper than the headscarf.

This is spot on. I need peace and to rejoice in my thoughts and imagination, and sometimes wonder whether the people loving the noisy hellscapes have any kind of inner world to focus on at all.

Who has more diverse views - political left or right? Turns out it's right and by a sizeable margin: Attitude networks reveal narrowly accepted opinion space in democrats, while republicans have much greater viewpoint diversity

Perintötilasto antaa synkän kuvan Suomen taloudesta. Edes *rikkain* prosentti ei jätä perintöä kuin kolmen henkilöauton (Tesla Model S) verran, ja 99% kansasta ei saa kasaan edes kolmasosaa autosta. Mailman 6. korkein kokonaisveroaste ei paljon anna armoa

This is the wonderful feature of the free markets: money and productivity can go wherever they are respected. Too bad many European governments still fail to understand this, and instead try to penalise for success, driving the productive forces out of their countries.
The wealthy don't protest. They exit. 10,800 millionaires left the UK in 2024 - a 157% surge from 2023. But if you’re leaving and want to match London's infrastructure and have a European lifestyle. Where do you go?. Here's my realistic list of alternatives in 2025:

If you want to give TURBO a go, just point your browser to our GIT. Pro tip: Many of the tools are also great for working on conventional PET data!

TURBO was developed by Jouni Tuisku and Santeri Palonen. This is a large-scale collaboration with @JuhaniKnuuti and the Turku Quadra team, and would never have been possible without the support from @ERC_Research and Jane & Aatos Erkko foundation - huge thanks for your support!.

TURBO resolves the problems of interoperator variability, reproducibility and reliance on manual labour in total-body PET analysis. Now let's do some serious science with TURBO tools!.
