When I taught at OU a student told me that even though I explained that the universe was 14 billion years old, he believed it was 6000 years old. I told him that is fine but that's not the answer on the test. This was decades ago

We're still, I believe, in that space in which we choose whether this country falls to a sort of MAGA despotism or we take a u-turn and head towards democracy.
