If one is aware of changes in education at the global and local levels there is a sense that we are in a transition which is different from how we have perceived changes over time previous.

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
