I have an obsession with clarity, or at least with a kind of clarity. I think about how much of my world is constructed in shorthand and stereotypes, and I want to fill in those gaps. I want to try, at least, even though it’s probably like patching a leaky roof with sponges.

In 2016, before I did most of my international travel, I tried to document my limited outlook, before all the research and exploration "ruined" it. I felt like I was a little more informed than my peers; but doesn't everyone? How would I know otherwise?

Perhaps these descriptions will sound eerily familiar if you’re a person with demographics similar to mine. Or even better: You can probably make a good guess at my time, location, appearance, age, gender, and so on just by pondering what things I’m ignorant of.

Here's the long and mortifying list... )

Wow. That was all I had in my head, seven years ago. A lot has changed since then but it's mostly in the direction of "I know there's a lot I don't know."
