00:00After two years of being regularly confronted with detailed updates on how precisely an ever-changing virus is turning our lives upside down,
00:11isn't it time to step back and try to get a deeper and more lasting sense of what we've learned?
00:17Well, that's the whole idea behind Pandemic Perspectives,
00:21where we present 32 uniquely fresh and penetrating reflections from leading thinkers
00:26on a range of key subjects that the COVID-19 crisis has brought into a particularly sharp focus.
00:32The need to generally reassess current educational practices.
00:36The future of scientific research.
00:38The challenges of making evidence-based public policy in an age of rapid information and misinformation.
00:44The widespread public confusion about how science actually works.
00:48The importance of balancing basic and applied research.
00:51The implications for coherently addressing climate change.
00:55The tension between individual liberties and communitarian ideals.
00:59The need to critically assess the level of care throughout our society.
01:03The importance of looking to history at a time of crisis.
01:06The perils of nationalism and the necessity of thinking globally.
01:10And to what extent the pandemic has revealed our true moral nature.
01:15You won't agree with everything that's said, and you might even disagree strongly with some of it.
01:20But that's all part of the experience.
01:22The point, of course, isn't to convince you of anything other than the overwhelming importance of taking a moment to listen and reflect on a wide range of uniquely thoughtful insights that you wouldn't have encountered otherwise.
01:34And after everything we've all been through, we certainly owe it to ourselves to get some truly meaningful perspective on all of this.
01:44We have a far and more.
01:47We have a fascinating perspective of what we can do with that.
01:48We'll see you soon as soon as we go on.
01:50So, once we come to the next step.
01:52We'll see you soon as we раскry invoke this.
01:53We'll see you soon as we leave.
01:54And we'll see you soon as soon as we go on.
01:56We'll see you soon as soon as we get back when we're looking at the final light.
01:58We'll see you soon as you can take our time to become more tipsy.
