It is the true teacher who leaves the class knowing they have learned the most.

"Ain't that America!!!"
This is how we grow wider and deeper, not devolve. Diversity is our power. Let's do this!

That is truly comforting to hear. My Navy Corpsman POW MIA husband died two weeks after his stealing the white house. He was horrified then. I'm glad he didn't have to watch these terrible days. Thank you!
Great q. I'd be confused as hell! What I would want to encourage to folks in their early 20s is to value education, history and talk to people from all walks of life and age groups to gain critical thinking and find your own ideas in chaos. Help others. Find activities you love.

Thanks for the clarification. On the other hand, he did influence global factions. Snowden was a very specific situation. It's not a great analogy but the argument has been raging and it's brutal. Wanted to hear more from friends. Thanks again!
That's an interesting point I did not consider. I think Snowden did the Star Trek thing: Many. Not the few or the one. That's more an ethic than a US bias says my gut. But worthy of consideration.

Most do seem to be. I'm driven by emotion about many things, one of them being the importance of empiricism! It does not make speaking my mind an easy task, but I'd explode if I kept it all in, and that would be messy!
I agree. The irony is politicians have done far more harm to citizens than we may ever know, and most won't be living in exile. :/

That's measurably true, and different for every individual. We do create mental models but based on a lot of "overheard" rather than study, discourse, research and a little thing called science. :)

What bothers me aside from the prejudice and assumptions of any human group is that history and the study of it is supposed to help us "never forget." But we do, or worse - we never learn in the first place. Humans seem more comfortable with mythology than fact. That troubles me.

Crypto is not even remotely a new term, much less limited to Jews historically. I almost responded "JewCoin!" but I delete and block comments like that now.
I used the term crypto-Jew in a post and a person uknown to me commented: "As if Jews needed more money."
People with access to learning no longer wear ignorance like a badge of honor. They are choosing ignorance on purpose. Why do folks suppose that is?

If I'd been in Snowden's position to choose the people over the government, I'd have done it every time. My brain can't parse Assange's actions or motives however. And although related, a pardon is not equivalent of prosecution. And, a jury of peers could prove nearly impossible.

That's a well-considered opinion. Sadly, the concept of lasting is applicable to all people always, especially in a pandemic :(
