I’ve been thinking about gaps in my education lately. These are some things I should know more about:
- The war in Afghanistan.
- Science.
- Financial markets and the principles of basic investing.
- Japanese grammar.
- The human body.
- China.
- Church history.
- Divisions and functions of the branches of the U.S. military.
- How to make things grow.
- Russian history.
- Fertility.
- Cholesterol.
- The Federal Reserve.
- How to fix a spare tire.
- Insurance policies.
- How to read music.
- Global warming.
- Michele Bachmann.
- Interest rates.
- Calculus (and by “know more about” I mean “learn anything about”).
- Currency exchange rates.
- How to drive a manual transmission.
- The Supreme Court.
- Canadian provinces.
- Latin and Greek roots.
- The difference between Central and Latin America.
The reason why I don’t know more about these things is because, I suppose, I don’t find them fundamentally interesting. Even though I feel like I should. Do you know about these things? If so, enlighten me. I want to know.
