@JoonasIlmavirta I don't know that an appreciation of current affairs requires any expertise. There are more things going on in the world than the teachings of Newton, Einstein & Hawking. From what I've read about those three, they all understood the times in which they lived.
@tony Sure, we all have opinions and knowledge of current affairs. But when it comes to the questions you asked, you should already know the answers I can give.
