They want us to leave, and maybe the world would be better off if we did. Our enemies are always finding new ways to harm us, and so are we.

What kind of country kills its own children and elders? What kind of president divides children? All children are the same. They are innocent. To say that some children will study while others hide in basements... This isn't an external enemy, but brother against brother. Families are divided, and war is waged. In times like these, children are dying.

During wartime, everyone faces challenges, even you. You might have a beautiful ocean and not feel the immediate impact, but the effects will be felt later. God bless you. Don't assume you are blessed. You may not experience war. Don't tell us how we're going to feel. We are trying to solve a problem right now.

Many people are being forced to choose between staying silent and risking their lives. There are those who want to take everyone, regardless of their background, not just soldiers but any man who fears avoiding war more than dying in it. The decision-makers in your country are protecting their own children.

But this is a a war. This isn't a battle, and we absolutely will win this war. It is a war. It is indeed a war. And I have to say they have won some battles, Jasmine, but we we have to keep our eye on the war, and and everybody needs to pick up a weapon and and get involved because this is for the the the safety and and lasting of the country. And everybody needs to pick up a weapon.

During war, everyone faces problems, even those with beautiful oceans. While you may not feel it now, you will feel the effects in the future. God bless you, you will not have war. I am not in a position to dictate what you're going to feel, but you will feel influence. We are going to feel very good and very strong. You are not with us, you start having cars. You don't see where you are going. You're gambling with World War Three. Someday, I'm going to find this piece of shit in the trunk.

My family's history, escaping Nazi Germany, should not be used to justify the killing of others.

The situation is terrible, and we understand that both sides are suffering greatly. Regardless of who is weaker, we should strive to minimize or eliminate civilian casualties among women, children, and the elderly. If men have decided to fight amongst themselves, let them do so, but leave the children and women alone. This applies to both sides.

I believe that war is not a good thing, but sometimes you have to fight back when someone is attacking you. I won't go after anyone who isn't attacking me, but it's important to defend yourself and not allow anyone to kill you.

Our differences as humans often overshadow our commonalities. It's possible that we need an external threat to remind us of our shared humanity. Imagine if we faced an alien invasion; our global divisions would quickly dissolve. But let's consider, isn't there already an alien force among us? War and the constant threat of war are completely at odds with our universal desire for peace and progress.

Over half a million children have lost their lives, surpassing the number of child casualties in Hiroshima. Despite the difficulty of the decision, we believe the price is justified.

This is not about arguing who is right or wrong, who started it or who didn't. The problem here is not a war. It's genocide, which has already killed nearly two thousand children who have nothing to do with this war. They are victims of this war. And honestly, I don't know how a human being can wage war knowing that the result is the death of innocent children.

Speaker 0: You said no to war, and I heard you. I thought, what a blessing you are. May your heart stay pure and always protected. May your actions and morals stay connected, because our hearts have been tainted like black tea spilled on a Persian rug leaving a stain. We used to think the same. We wanted to play a good hand at this game, but the moment we heard our mothers wailing, we folded. There's no justice in this life. Our faith has eroded. They keep killing our children in the name of God. We watch Seppar's father searching for his son amongst countless body bags filled with women and children and innocent men. We also never considered war an option before then, before we witnessed our mothers burn in grieving flames. It wasn't required to jump over fire when New Year's came. Every stride they took, they were burning like a furnace. Every step turned to ash where their hearts used to beat. Their pain turned soft souls into something concrete. May you never know the pain of a whole entire nation begging to be saved by foreign invasion. They say, I don't understand. Why would you agree to war? What a blessing it is that you don't understand my love. I hope you never know the pain of people begging to be bombed where your death is so close, but it feels like hope. Maybe in another life, every country will rush to save us instead of fighting over whether Trump has the right to invade us. They'll fight over who gets the honor of being our savior. They'll argue over credit for our liberation and for once we'll have a choice and who our leader gets to be, not imposed but chosen will finally be free. It's good you don't believe in more. What beautiful way of thinking. What a blessing it is to not know the feeling of clinging to the first life raft that comes in your direction, not caring for a second about their intention, not pausing for reflection, just to fight against death. My love, I'm glad you still believe there's a wrong and a right, but I've seen a place where that line disappears, where survival speaks louder than morals and fears, what a blessing to breathe and still have a voice, to question the hand and still have a choice. But when your lungs start to fail and you're drowning with no air, you don't care who it is, you just hope that they're there. You clutch at the life raft, no time left away, whose hands pulling you up or what price you will pay, head barely above water, grief flooding your sight. You don't choose your savior. You choose to survive.

Speaker 0 suggests that if someone wanted to buy property near one of China’s military installations, they would likely be in Beijing. Speaker 1 responds that President Xi wouldn’t allow it. Speaker 1 argues that selling or removing students from the U.S. would harm both farmers and universities. They claim that China already has a lot of land, and that land acquisition occurred during the Obama administration without action. Speaker 1 says that if people “take [farm land] out of the market,” it would cause property and farm prices to change and lead farmers to lose money. They then focus on students: Speaker 1 says China has “500,000 students” and characterizes them as “good students.” Speaker 1 says that telling another country “I don’t want any students” is “very insulting” and would prompt China to start building universities all over China. Speaker 1 adds that if these students are “good and they wanna stay in America,” they “won’t give them a green card,” and this restriction would affect not only these students but others from other countries as well. Speaker 1 states that removing “a half a million people” from universities would not end the top schools, but would cause “bankruptcies at the lower end” of good colleges and widespread trouble for lower-tier institutions. They also argue that international students coming to learn American culture is beneficial, and that some people disagree. Addressing concerns about intentions, Speaker 1 says both sides worry about “nefarious intentions” and portrays the situation as a “very fine line,” stating that “they do things to us, we do things to them.” Speaker 1 concludes that school systems would not want such a scenario because it would leave “you won’t have much of a school system.”

Our agenda being unchecked may corrupt your kids. Funny, but you're right.

I want to remind you, especially younger writers, that you don't have to conform or be afraid to criticize your government and society. It's popular to criticize Republicans and Trump, but we should also remember that both Republicans and Democrats have contributed to the 13 wars we've started in the past 30 years, costing trillions of dollars and countless lives. This system, which some call the military-industrial complex, perpetuates war and chaos in the world. We've intervened in over 100 countries, causing regime changes and economic turmoil. This system is leading to the destruction of our planet and our own extinction. Despite the challenges, if you believe in what you're saying and stay true to your values, you can make a difference. Stay true to yourself, listen to your inner voice, and never give up on peace, decency, and the truth.

If Trump wins, there will be anger and fighting. Implementing measures to take away rights will lead to death. You don't understand what that's like. Talking about civil war without experiencing it is ignorant. You're not prepared for it.

The speaker emphasizes that the US will need to send their sons and daughters to war just like they currently do. They stress that this is a natural consequence and that people will die, which they find to be a terrible thing.

Wars in the past 50 years were often caused by media lies spreading government propaganda. Populations must be deceived into supporting wars because they don't willingly choose conflict. A strong media environment can lead to peace.

We strongly oppose an immediate ceasefire as it allows the killing of children. This is a war specifically targeting children.

We are at risk of losing our identity due to a lack of diversity. People like you bring change, and that’s why many come here. As more individuals arrive, they will transform the country my ancestors established. It’s natural for me to express concern about this shift.

Speaker: Jared Cooney Horvath I am a former teacher turned cognitive neuroscientist who focuses on human learning, and I do not receive funding from big tech. A sobering fact our generation faces is that our kids are less cognitively capable than we were at their age. Every generation has outperformed their parents, and that is what we want: sharper kids. The reason for this largely has been school. Each generation spends more time in school, and we use school to develop our cognition until Gen Z. Gen Z is the first generation of modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory to literacy to numeracy to executive functioning to even general IQ, even though they go to more school than we did. So why? What happened around 2010 that decoupled schooling from cognitive development? It can't be school. Schools basically look the same. It can't be biology. This hasn't enough time to change. The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning. Across 80 countries, as Jean was just saying, if you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two thirds of a standard deviation less than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school, and that's across 80 countries. Bring it home to The US. Let's go to The US. We have our NAEP. That's our big data. Take any state. Here's a fun experiment you can try. Take any state NAEP data. Compare that to when that state adopted one to one technology widely, and watch what happens. The NAEP data will plateau and then start to drop. And, of course, this is all correlative. What we really want is causation. To get causation, what you need is academic research, and you need mechanisms, explanations for why we're seeing what we're seeing. Luckily, we have academic research stretching back to 1962 that shows the exact same story for sixty years. When tech enters education, learning goes down. In fact, because what do kids do on computers? They skim. So rather than determining what do we want our children to do and gearing education towards that, we are redefining education to better suit the tool. That's not progress. As we go through our discussion today, there will be a lot of talk about smartphones and social media, rightly so. But I’m the voice here to remind you that even in schools, it doesn't matter what the size of the screen is. If it's a phone, if it's a laptop, if it's desktop, and it doesn't matter who bought it. Is it school sanctioned? Does it have the word education stamped on it? It doesn't matter. All of these things are also gonna hurt learning, which in turn are gonna hurt our kids' cognitive development right at the time when we need our kids to be sharper than we are.

This is a conflict between powerful nations, not to be taken sides with. It's like modern slavery, where we should aim to overthrow the system, not support any master. We must see these fights as opportunities to eventually make a revolution and end their control.

In societies that idolize firefighters, children aspire to be firefighters. Similarly, in Palestinian society, the heroes are those who murder Jews. This must end. Peace is unattainable when terrorists are glorified as martyrs. This culture of glorifying terrorists is a significant obstacle to peace and must be dismantled immediately. For years, a culture of hatred has been cultivated in Palestinian textbooks and mosques. To achieve peace, we must address this issue head-on. They need to initiate an educational process focused on tolerance and understanding. The education of hatred must be stopped, and it must be stopped now.
