I’ve noticed that less educated, lower intellect individuals with a minimum of worldly experience tend to be resentful of the notion that they can learn from other places and people who are different from them and do certain things better.

The world is full of such small-minded places, commonly referred to as “underdeveloped.”

I’d like to avoid seeing my state and country continue to backslide towards underdeveloped status when we have potential to be much greater.

Therefore, if another country has a better way to build a car, or a smarter health delivery system, or a better design for transit systems, or a system that has largely eliminated gun violence, I choose to learn from them rather than stew in parochial ignorance.

You should try it!
