The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, known for nothing but lies, is falsely claiming Russia will recruit Lebanese Hezbullah to assist in the war in Ukraine.

📊 The “unhappiest” country in the world is Afghanistan, according to the UN.

Lebanon is ranking second, followed by Zimbabwe, Rwanda and Botswana. (In 2020, Lebanon ranked 4th). On the opposite, Finland is the “happiest” country, Israel is 9th and Bahrain 21st.

The World Happiness Report is a composite index, based on data from Gallup World Polls, that weights six factors: levels of GDP, life expectancy, “social support”, “freedom”, “generosity” and “perception of corruption”. “Dystopia” is a Cantril value (1.83) with an average residual for 2017-2019.

Note: This index is greatly arbitrary, notably the weighting of the six factors; the GDP for 2021 is not available yet and is an extrapolation; life expectancy is an interpolation & extrapolation; “generosity” is a regression of answers to “Have you donated money to a charity in the past month?” relatively to GDP/capita; social support is the average of binary answers to “Do you have relatives or friends you can count on to help you (...)?”; “freedom” is the same for “Are you satisfied or dissatisfied with your freedom to choose what you do with your life?”. The value of “Dystopia” (1.83) is “the predicted Cantril ladder [0 to 10 scale] for a hypothetical country with the world's lowest values for each of the six variables”, and it is used “as a benchmark against which to compare contributions from each of the six factors”, according to the report.

The mathematical models of economy (also epidemiology or climatology) are not science, but pseudo-science. They don't fit the criteria of science.
