Eye-opening, nourishing and original. Thanks, again, for making the world of ideas smarter and more vibrant. Guten Rutsch to you and the rest of the family.
One question in my mind is how your Point #5 fits with some recent analyses (see Edsall's op-ed in today's NYTimes) that portray the source of populism as resistance to the "immigrant mentality." If a big chunk of the populace fights to never have to adapt, making the teaching of the immigrant mentality a bit challenging. You're right, Laetitia, but I worry that we can't successfully act on your observation. At a minimum, we need to learn how to convince our fellow citizens that the need is there and that denying such preparation to our children serves them poorly.
Thank you Laetitia for this great piece ! It gives so many subtle insights on what is happening at the moment, but it also shows how you paved the way with consistent writing on these subjects. Looking forward to reading you in 2021 :)
