All the parents talk to each other about, hey, I've got to get the best school for my child, the best.

And that's the way it should be.

But I always forgot the second half of the sentence, which is that everybody else's child deserves the best school too, or my society will be weak.

and at a disadvantage by the time my child becomes an adult.

That's an assumption.

Again, it's not a perfect system, but it results in a very well-educated workforce and I think a happier nation.

Yeah, that's great.

It's kind of like a small town.

It's a nation that's a small town.

It's only not much more than 5 million people.

But of course, that's roughly similar in demographics and size to I think it's two thirds or three quarters of American states.

are 5 to 10 million people, you know, 10% immigrants, and so forth.

But you're putting your finger on something that's very interesting.

Finnish people are not externally hyper-religious and religion-identifying, but they are, the society delivers on compassion.

and community spirit and kindness.

I think that spirituality here is very, very high, but maybe external religion is not.

Church-going is actually kind of low here.

But the values, the religious values play out every day in compassion.

Here's a good example.

This country has won the World Olympics of child poverty.
