Prerequisite

I had an intern that had just finished their masters in America, but otherwise spent their entire life in Shanghai. When Xi consolidated power I asked her what she thought.

She says she doesn't think about it, and her family and all of their friends don't think like that. Almost everyone she knows went from poverty to middle-class under Xi. "he can do anything he wants, we owe him"

Do you honestly see the middle-eastern conflict resolving itself internally?

Do you have an educated guess as to when stability will return to the area? 10, 50, 100 years?

Is separation of church and state on the minds of many everyday afghans?

You're probably right. She wasn't amazing at english and what you said "they really don't care enough to do anything" was the point she meant to say for sure.

Derek, loved DH since the shorts a while ago - awesome concept. Will you ever team up with /u/neiltyson for an episode of drunk science?
