Obliviousness to the world at age 30 is inevitable? Hardly.
At age 31 the author just wrote a whole book based on her naivete, apparently without a mea culpa or inquiry into how that did or could happen, even after an Ivy League education.
I persist; inexcusable.
- skybrian 9y agoI do think she learned about world affairs rather late for someone who went to college, but it's inevitable that there are some people like that, just like it's inevitable that there are people who are below average in any skill you can think of. Good for her that she chose to write about this. There are, after all, millions of Americans who never get a good understanding of what it's like in other countries. Changing this is a huge challenge. Going around saying things are "inexcusable" doesn't actually help fix them.
