Comment
The question for students to debate is why a supposed
communist country allows so many billionaires to rise up from poverty.
That's supposed to happen in the USA where a child growing up in deep
poverty (think Oprah Winfrey or Howard Shultz) became a multi-billionaires.
But is it also supposed to happen under communism? If
so, why?
One reason is that many billionaires can afford to pour lots of money into high risk ventures. When's the last time you heard about a high risk (think Silicon Valley) venture in Europe?

Hermann Weyl born in Hamburg, Germany. He wrote,

men. Mathematics has the inhuman quality of starlight---brilliant, sharp, but

Jensen Comment
To the list of questions I would add "Do your talk about the Tragedy of the
Commons?"
The problem with open borders is somewhat related to the economic problem of
"The Sharing of the Commons" where giving everybody the right to use a free
resource leads to everybody losing that resource. At what point will allowing
billions of people share in the free medical care, free college, and other
scarce resources ruin it for everybody ---

How are K-12 schools doing under President Trump versus

Jensen's Comment
Most K-12 schools were probably doing better when I was a child than they're
doing today. The downhill slide is greatest in the gang-ridden schools,
drug-infested urban schools like Chicago and New Orleans. Throwing money at such
schools is not the answer until life at home recovers.
Finland knows this, which is why Finland's dads spend more time with school
children than the moms or the teachers.

**How to Mislead With Cherry Picking
Cherry Picking Bias (think Snopes, ABC, NBC, CBS,
CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc.) is a Far Worse Problem Than Fake News ---
Evaluating the fake news problem at the scale of the information ecosystem ---
https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/14/eaay3539
Fake news,” broadly defined as false or misleading information masquerading as legitimate news, is frequently asserted to be pervasive online with serious consequences for democracy. Using a unique multimode dataset that comprises a nationally representative sample of mobile, desktop, and television consumption, we refute this conventional wisdom on three levels. First, news consumption of any sort is heavily outweighed by other forms of media consumption, comprising at most 14.2% of Americans’ daily media diets. Second, to the extent that Americans do consume news, it is overwhelmingly from television, which accounts for roughly five times as much as news consumption as online. Third, fake news comprises only 0.15% of Americans’ daily media diet. Our results suggest that the origins of public misinformedness and polarization are more likely to lie in the content of ordinary news or the avoidance of news altogether as they are in overt fakery.

The same thing happens in teaching and research when teachers cherry pick course
content. Sometimes it's caused by a teacher's political bias ---
https://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2020/10/07/the-fight-for-free-speech-n2577499?utm_source=thdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&newsletterad=10/07/2020&bcid=b16c6f948f297f77432f990d4411617f&recip=17935167
More often it's wanting to focus on what teachers spent their lives preparing to teach and overlooking (with content cherry picking) that which is now embarrassing in course content.
And cherry picking is not just a political phenomenon. For example, managerial
and cost accounting teachers still devote significant modules of a course to
ABC costing without mentioning that in the real world ABC costing is seldom
used in the 21st Century due to failing to meet the cost-benefit test in
practice ---
