On the way to my high tea with Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, we were discussing our favorite art media with the private driver of the limousine chauffeuring us to our afternoon repast. The leader of the largest democracy in the southern hemisphere insisted that the medium that rose above all other media was hentai, and that's when it struck me: my god, he's telling me the planet is obtuse!

Bolsonaro's Italy must be corrupt. He might give away pornos for free in high-end restaurants, but, wait a minute, what about the art of creation? Art must be 'owned' – l'art a fait ce que l'art est avantage? – and art must be owned by all.

Ask me about believing in magical rainbow gold

Barcelona
I had just stepped into my Uber departing El Prat, laptop balanced on my knees as I worked upon one of my posts. The driver, who the app told me was named Bernat, proved to be particularly excited to have me, an American, as his passenger.

"Is this your first time in Barcelona? Do you travel a lot?" he asked me in near perfect English.

After I responded in the affirmative to both, he began a lively conversation about travel and our increasingly flat earth.

I quickly learned that Bernat had always dreamed of traveling to Japan, as he loved the culture, particularly the cartoons directed more at adults, rather than the traditional market of children, which Bernat referred to as Hentai. He was however, quite worried about the cost of travel. Not just in terms of the euros and yen, but the carbon cost.

We both agreed that Greta Thunburg was doing something great. I suggested that, while a bit pedestrian for my tastes, Bernat could try the the burgeoning slow travel movement, and berth as a passenger on a container ship. An Uber of the high seas has a certain romantic appeal.

In that moment, another romantic notion struck me. Maybe our flat earth, beset by fake news and climate change, was trying to unflatten itself. Maybe the ease of communication and travel we've enjoyed through the great leveling effect of human technology and progress is now starting to produce peaks and silicon valleys amongst the great plains. Only time will tell if we are now living in Round Earth 2.0.

[Physical Instrument]: There's no question that a great teacher can make a huge difference in a student's achievement, and we need to recruit, train and reward more such teachers. But here's what some new studies are also showing: We need better parents. Parents more focused on their children's education can also make a huge difference in a student's achievement.

[Encyclopedia]: Natural gas emits only half the carbon dioxide of coal when burned, but if methane leaks when oil companies extract it from the ground in a sloppy manner - methane is far more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide - it can wipe out all the advantages of natural gas over coal.

[Authority]: Being one of my sources is exhausting. It's not one interview and you're done. I keep going back until I feel like I understand everything.

While attempting to understand both sides of the Dockworkers Strike I happened to make the acquaintance of a very interesting individual with some in-depth views on cranial diameters and the decline of the occident. We got to talking and I found myself wondering if outside perspectives like his might not help bridge the divide.

I would often go there. To the flat earth there. The flattest earth in Six-Mönths -- though it once was taller.
How capital may rest there. Bound to exist there. Toward the open sources -- toward old Bangalore there
I would often stay there. In the taxi yard there. I have been so glad here -- looking forward to the past here
But now you are all alone. None of this matters, now, none of this matters, at all.
