Anxiety about my upcoming return to the USA basically de–railed this show. I didn’t get to the things I was more interested in talking about, such as a recently–announced “nuclear battery”, because I felt the need to explain why the sudden imposition of large import duties can have a seriously damaging effect on a national economy, and even on the world economy in case of cascading retaliation. But I did manage to carve out some time to criticize the German educational system, and offer a critique of schooling generally.
