"Je souffre d'un affaissement paradigmatique aigu"

[mousme]

... as my father would say.

Or "an acute case of paradigmatical collapse" to translate loosely.

I think I've become complacent in my isolation from worldly events. Too concerned with my own psyche. Too much navel-gazing. I need to get out more, become more involved or at least more informed, and cease indulging in my self-enforced parochialism.

I need to stop worrying only about my car payments and whether I'm going to get to work on time. Stop reading only murder mysteries (but I like them! *wail*) and start edjumucatin' myself about stuff.

Every day I realise that there's a ton of stuff I could be learning about, and I can't help but feel that time's a-wasting. Even things I should know about, like feminism and the judeo-palestinian crisis. I mean, I know enough about them not to sound like a complete idiot in a conversation, but I don't feel that I understand them fully. Not enough to give a considered opinion, anyway.

Bleh. I hate being undereducated.
