maybe the great symmetry of today's date was just hyping me up, but i actually got things done. watched and took notes on another episode of Justice by Michael Sandel + started another course on Political philosophy from Yale open Courses. will proceed to study a bit of Norwegian and then practice on my drawing and call it a day.

"This [free] course explores languages that have been deliberately constructed, including Esperanto, Klingon, and Tolkien's Elvish. Students construct their own languages while considering the basic linguistic characteristics of various languages of the world. Through regular assignments, students describe the phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and writing system of their constructed language. The final assignment is a grammatical description of the new language."

How the public sector is managed is an intensely practical concern for developing countries. Nigeria spends about four times as much for health per capita as Ethiopia, but more under-5’s die every year in Nigeria than in Ethiopia. Ghana and Benin have similar per-capita income levels, but in Ghana, the literacy rate for young people is about 50 percent higher than in neighbouring Benin. Total health spending in the US is nearly twice as high as in Sweden, yet infant mortality in Sweden is less than half as high as in the US. In India, a malfunctioning bureaucracy has been seen as one of the biggest obstacles to sustainable growth by former Prime Minister Singh himself. Whether post-conflict Afghanistan can build a public sector which can deliver services, as the international presence is about to be reduced significantly, has been identified as a key challenge with international ramifications.
