You Know, Like, None Of Us Would

I Think Of Choosing As A... Both A Fun And An Effortful Activity And I Think Of Choice As Something That In Order For You To Really Get What You Want Out Of It You Have To Put A Lot Into It And So I'm Only Willing To Do That For A Few Different Things And For The Rest I Really Just Try To Either Satisfy, Come Up With A Simple Rule Or Let Somebody Else Make The Choice.

You Know, Or Three Kinds Of Ice Cream Bars And You'd See This And Like This... Okay They Could Clearly Benefit From Some More Choices And I Remember Having These Discussions With The Japanese Because They You Know They Often Like To Go To Hawaii For Vacation Because It Was Definitely Much Cheaper For Them And I Would Ask Them, "so When You Go To Hawaii, You Know Do Eat All These Other Things?"

I Mean We Might Even Go To War As To Whether We Love Coke Or Pepsi And Our Whole Identity Is Wrapped Up In That Choice. You Know, For The Russians They Felt That These Minor Differences Between These Various Sodas Was Just Hyped Up And Irrelevant.

Being A Sikh Meant Having To Do What Mom And Dad Said, And Going To Temple, And Mom And Dad Choosing Who I Would Marry. But Going To An American School Taught Me That I Was The One Who's Supposed To Make Those Choices.

I Mean It Wasn't That They Sat Around Thinking Oh Gosh I Needed More Choices In My Grocery Stores The Way I Had Come To Think About It As An American Growing Up.
