The first university professor I knew

A friend of a friend, son of a Portuguese immigrant.
We met in our early 20s, By my mid 30s he had become a professor teaching economics in Pernambuco

I was visiting our common friend, back from Nigeria on a holiday, and the professor also came back from Pernambuco on a holiday. I was shocked hearing what he telling how the university system worked.
I was disgusted.

Because news reporters are what they are, nowadays, one had better do his own research because there is way too little credibility on the news we read.

While before electronic media (mid-to late 80s) -and without any source of news in Nigeria- I needed only BusinessWeek and The Economist to keep myself informed, today one need to read a dozen news sources because the credibility is lacking.

Climate Science is a cesspool. It has so little credibility that we need to wait 30 years to see if what the scientists say would happen will really do.
