Wchodząc w rolę adwokata diabła w Instytucie Spraw Obywatelskich napisałem felieton o tym, jak łatwo jest społeczeństwem, czyli nami wszystkimi manipulować, odpowiednio przedstawiając dane statystyczne. Dlaczego to takie proste? Ponieważ olbrzymia większość ludzi nie potrafi logicznie myśleć.

Crisis – a Chinese word that contains danger in it. It is also not true, that it is a combination of two words: danger or threat and the beginning of a new road or chance. Sinologist Victor H.
