Cultural Consumption
In an imagined place, free from any program and whatever else might hold me back, I would be an Anthony Bourdain. I would travel around the world from country to country, culture to culture - eat their food, drink their booze, then write about how dank it is.
Eating is a sacred activity no matter where you go (on Earth or in history). By sharing this with them not only would I gain a certain amount of cultural knowledge and understanding, if I could write (this is imaginary) I would describe to others a wide variety of incredible food, incredible cultures, and incredible ideas. Hopefully I could influence people not to see differences in others that seem strange, but to see differences that seem delicious.
A fascination with other cultures and a desire to learn from them would be a healthy shift for America. How do they keep their house cool . . . How do they transport themselves . . . How do they educate their children . . . How do they have fun . . . there’s a lot there to appreciate.
