There will be wars and rumors of wars...famine...(political) earthquakes.
Mathew had it right, at least the phrasing because now we are entering a period of international clashes. America is desperately and brutally trying to maintain its delusion of a world order under its control.
China and Russia most notably are refusing to give way to US dictat, the wider battlefront is in Gaza, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria. Since the revolution removing the Shah, Iran has been a source of inspiration in the Muslim world, driving the US and Israel into violent frustration. All anti-colonial forces around the globe need to see this picture clearly to save Gaza, defend Syria and completely remove the western "powers" from the region. Again, to borrow from Mathew, this is going to be a time of the "painful birth" of a multi-polar more democratic world.

Whether it be standardized testing, grades, extracurricular activities or personal essays, the question of how to level the playing field in education is quite a challenge. This week on Sea Change Radio, we take a deep dive into higher education admissions and inequities in this country with Jacob Vigdor, a Professor of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Washington. We discuss the flawed measures we use to evaluate teenage pupils and ask what the goals should actually be for college admissions officers? Are we looking for students to get good grades and make a lot of money, or become leaders in their communities and help spark thoughtful debate among their peers? We examine the shortcomings of standardized testing and grades, explore admissions systems at most “elite" schools, and try to come up with some solutions to the problem.
