WASP's, Meritocrats and questions about progress- a reminder on leadership for America
04/05/2009
Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Reagan, Bush, Clinton,and Obama. Epstein looks at the WSP's and the Meritocrats and how there is little progress, somewhat the reverse with meritocrats. He says college reputations don't count for much in capacity for genuine service to the country- citing Truman and Reagan as examples of leaders without prestigious university backgrounds or WASP background who served America well and are respected decades later.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
