    It’s impolite to stare at someone’s face

    This is so incredibly western. It’s absolutely not a universal truth, there are plenty of cultures that accept staring as a natural human expression of interest. And as people move about in this increasingly connected world, these weird taboos are bound be challenged more often.

    And I’ll be here on the sidelines, staring and eating the proverbial popcorn while watching this slow motion train wreck. One of the few pleasures the brave new world affords me.
