look at the authors: mark twain, thomas edison, oscar wilde. a miracle, the book is called the big book of wit, it is beautifully published and of course. the stories here are funny, listen to a short one of them: in 1926 , a destrophic person came to a famous psychiatrist with a complaint about causeless melancholy and apathy, because of which he can neither eat nor sleep. after examining him, the doctor advised him to read humorous stories: best of all, take tomik zoshchenko, maybe it will seem simple to you, it’s proletarian, but funny, this zoshchenko is a big funny guy. doctor - the patient sighed sadly. i am zoshchenko. the big book of wit. fine. everyone knows that moscow dates its age from 1147. this is the first mention of moscow in chronicles. what kind of mention? come to me in ograd moskov. one might think that in this year moscow became a city at once. of course, moscow is much older. in one of my favorite series, history, geography, ethnography, mikhail tikhomirov, an academician , wrote the following book: “ancient moscow.” he wr

mark twain says nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits. we are always happy to tell other people what they are doing wrong. all the work of life, in our communities, of course in the government, comes from our own self-discipline. our own willingness to choose virtue over vulgarity. that is what we have got to be talking people about and asking them, making those clear distinctions, as you said . also telling the more complicated stories about how democracy works. dictators always say, look, i have the easy solution. here is how we do it. we take 15 million people and get them out of here. or we stop the press, which is noisy over here, or we do that, all of a sudden people become susceptible . thomas jefferson said it, all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable. he is saying, the history of human beings we have been subjects. we have been superstitious peasants under some authoritarian rule. you are going to have to be a citizen and he will be individual responsibilities, the first of whic

history, as mark twain mentioned, doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes. i think what president biden today will be doing is highlighting the rhymes. once again, a world challenged by aggression. once again, questions whether the united states will rise to the occasion. the obvious place to think about is ukraine, where, for several months, the united states failed to rise to the occasion. isolationism is a virus that never disappears from the body politic. i expect the president will make a powerful argument that the united states still needs to rise to occasions. we can't pursue the folly of isolationism. we've got to work with othes. that's the great comparative advantage of american foreign policy. we have this pool of partners, these allies to work with. i think he's going to be speaking in many ways to the american people. you know, several people here around the table, we talked about the lack of history, the lack of historical awareness. we don't teach this in our schools. you can graduate from most american high schools and many american colleges
