this, quite potentially, is the pinnacle, and it takes us straight back to alexander bogdanov.
what bogdanov realised is that it's not about the owners of the means of production - it's about the connectivity tissue between producer and consumer. the administrators.

flow control, quite obviously.

soooβ¦.. if IIASA information travels through the NGFS to become financial information, through the IPCC to become about carbon emissions, and through the IPBES to become about biodiversity... isnt it highly questionable that the scenarios picked by those three are not identical?

also - since they're picked scenarios, the underlying science is supposedly legit - but they cherry pick the specific strands of science which are useful to the narrative and there's no peer review for that - only the science itself.
ergo, the science is supposedly legit, but the scenarios allow cherry picking

oh wowβ¦ NGFS explicitly restricts redistribution of substantial parts of its dataβ¦
the scenarios that calibrate bank capital requirements worldwide (the numbers that determine your borrowing costs, your insurance premiums, your mortgage availability) cannot be fully replicated by an independent researcher because part of the input data is proprietary
