that's why economists make us sink into the wall by honking: they have bad means of measurement, which mix what is useful and harmful

It is not that their means of measurement is bad, nor that they mix what is useful and useless: the economy has meaning (if one can say!) Only in the useless: it therein lies its usefulness. When it consents to produce a utility for men, it is only for it an inessential and parasitic detour which acts as a decoy, to better deceive them.

Producing value *, a perfect quantitative abstraction, has only one self-reflexive and tautological finality which ignores any qualitative consideration, the only one that matters to us as human beings.

* "Producing value" or "maximizing thermodynamic dissipation" are two perfectly identical expressions.

I see that the "Roddier effect" is doing its job!

A new pollution peak is expected from tomorrow in IDF:

Don't worry, no anti-pollution measures will be taken!

A very simple solution would be to fully cover the Paris ring road to protect it from the pollution of German coal-fired power plants ... : Cheesy: : Lol:

By way of comparison, the PM 2.5 rate in Tokyo prefecture this morning:

The city of Tokyo is on the right of the map.

The population density in Tokyo is much lower than in Paris (6000 inhabitants / km2 in Tokyo compared to 21000 inhabitants / km2 in Paris) and that must certainly play a role.

Sen-no-sen, you write:

There is a possible multiplicity of points of view, since any part refers to the whole, therefore, several explanatory grids can coexist without contradicting each other; simply, depending on the positioning, the depth of field will vary.
The explanatory system of F. Roddier is more inclusive than most: what it gains in scope, it loses in precision on restricted fields of application.
I think that the use of different grids is justified according to the object of his research.
