    The Most Ignorant Man in America: Love this story about one of my best friends from home who has blockaded all political news since the election. He won’t even read the piece since it lists all the stuff he doesn’t know. (He got a redacted version.)https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/03/10/style/the-man-who-knew-too-little.html …

        White, male and rich means you can stick your head in the sand. What else is new?

        I read the whole article to see if he was aware that only his status as a wealthy white male made this news blockade safe. Others see it, not sure if he really does.

        Power to Mr. Hagerman and his Lake Project. But most of us do not have the "privilege" of living with our heads in the sand, about which he also refers as a concern. I hope he will answer this concern in a followup NYT article--esp after our 2018 and 2020 elections.

        This selfish jerk is your friend? I genuinely truly passionately hope that he chokes on his rich white male privilege.

        Our collective willful ignorance is exactly what brought tRUmp to the White House. Shame on us.

        Isn't it wonderful when privilege allows you to live like that? Unfortunately some of us get revealing insults screamed at us while we walk on the street going to work, for example. God bless being a foreign woman of colour in a xenophobic country.

        This is not a "nice" story. He is either mentally ill or an ass or both. Glorifying him + his behavior by the press, his family/friends, + anyone is irresponsible. It's gross. He's a privileged white man with position + connections allowing him to pull this stunt. He subtracts.

        I'm also disgusted with these criminals and their antics, but making yourself aware of what's being done in our name and communicating with your neighbors is critical.

        you can tell a lot about a person from who his friends are. Lovely piece. As a former Ohio boy, this gives me hope. Thanks

        I kinda get what he's going for but does he know our military has come out and said there's UFO activity we cant figure out & stuff like that? There's ways to check out moderately without white noise and whatnot. Not sure an obsessive "blockade" is a healthy strategy long term
