In terms of public policy, in terms of all kinds of ethical issues, they
need to understand what’s really going on. Many of the issues that

You will know much more than they will, and hopefully some time
down the road, when you become more and more influential voices in
society, you’ll be able to contribute what you understood here, what
you learned here to that discussion.
