We don't care about in Latin America about first-world instutional ranking metrics that play by the game of publish-or-perish and I don't care about convincing anyone; just ask around in Argentina or ask any academic researcher from the country what the most prestigious institutions are and you'll get a unanimous opinion.

> Did you know that Milei got his second Master at Instituto Di Tella? Guess he is elite now, by your own standards!

He did not _finish_ the master at all. https://www.lanacion.com.ar/cultura/otro-dato-academico-impr...

He is a fraud. His thesis is plagiarized wholesale. He is an absolute moron addled on mood stabilizers as has been said by everyone who knows him.

Just look at him in one of the _very few unscripted interviews he's had_ . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcpAtBNzQEQ

There's a reddit user with your same nick, and 80% of his posts are about criticizing Milei. The passion with which you do that is remarkable.
The day you realize that defunding critical public institutions sets backs countries by decades maybe you’ll get pissed off too.
I'll see the effects in poverty and employment statistics. Then I may understand your perspective.

I consider now that the country was already being set back for decades.

I like seeing statistics, not arguing emotionally.
