As of mid-2021 the world reached nearly 4 million confirmed deaths from COVID-19. By any standard, the global response to the pandemic has been awful. From the very start, there was a dire shortfall of global cooperation. If there is one lesson from the coronavirus pandemic, it is that our very survival depends on cooperation among the major world powers. When they fight over COVID-19, or climate change, or cybersecurity, or other crucial challenges, the entire world loses.

 

در جستجوی دوران تاریک

حدود سیزده ممیز هشت بلیون سال پیش دنیای ما با یک انفجار پدیدار شد. در زمانی که چند هزارم یک ثانیه میشد، این جهان از یک ذره زیر اتمی به حد یک پرتقال درشت رشد کرد. و در حالیکه جهان در حال رشد بود، به سرد شدن ادامه داد تا جایی که اجرام (مواد زیر اتمی به نامهای کوارک و گلوانس) شکل گرفتند. سرانجام این محلول های کوارکی به اتم تبدیل شدند. اتمها به اشکال مولکولی درآمدند. گازها جهان را اندوختند. و در عین

When the Soviet Union crumbled in the 1990s, Americans did a victory lap that lasted for decades. We saw it as the triumph of capitalism over communism, freedom over authoritarianism, democracy over one-party rule. We assumed that the game was over and that we had won. We had reached “the end of history.” We thought that it was only a matter of time before China, which had already embraced some free-market reforms, transitioned to a system just like ours. Americans normalized trade with China and waited patiently for the “Chinese Gorbachev.” If you’re still out there waiting, don’t hold your breath.
