- Jay Leno,
- Ronald Reagan,
- Alyssa Ahlgren,
- hipster coffee shops,
- Robert Malthus and
- Alanis Morrissette all tied up in one man's lament about a lack of a common body of knowledge.
“I just mentioned to someone that a friend of mine was in the Galapagos, and their response was “what’s that?”
There seems to be no such thing as a common body of knowledge in our culture anymore—things you can expect everyone with walking around sense to know.
Sometimes I feel like my whole life is an episode of Jaywalking with Leno, which I always assumed was staged.
Apparently not.”...
