[FRIAM] on the obustness of globalism

[Marcus Daniels]

Find a conflict-of-interest or a way to profit from government regulation, and you’ll find a way to predict the Trump administration.   Remember this?

Looking at PISA results, you can see that most of today's talented boys were born and are growing outside USA. Your current government is closing doors to everybody, included talented ones, while your teenager's results in Maths and Science and Comprehensive Reading in PISA tests are pitiful considering who you are. For sure, your local talent will not be enough to maintain leadership in new knowledge and innovation.  I guess, that 's the risk for your future.

Open thread for mathematicians on the immigration executive order

> Even if the order was withdrawn immediately, there is no longer an assurance, even for nationals not initially impacted by that order, that some similar abrupt and major change in the rules for entry to the United States could not occur, for instance for a visitor who has already gone through the lengthy visa application process and background checks, secured the appropriate visa, and is already in flight to the country.  This is already affecting upcoming or ongoing mathematical conferences or programs in the US, with many international speakers (including those from countries not directly affected by the order) now cancelling their visit, either in protest or in concern about their ability to freely enter and leave the country.
