Sure, it's hard to judge when you know you have your own flaws, but imagine going your whole life seeing this lack of reflection and historical perspective staring you in your face day after day. I used to think there was something wrong with me, but then I realized I was surrounded by people that didn't actually absorb, process and apply the information they were being fed.
Now, don't get me wrong, there are many intelligent Americans with worldly perspective, but sometimes it feels like I'm drowning in this overwhelming wave of ignorance and simplicity. If you were to create a human based on averaging out all of the American population's attributes, it would be a fucking moron.
