Just mentioning it because its an example of the religious “fertility” of the US, even in San Francisco. There is no consensus anywhere in the US, even in the absolute deepest blue city.
Travel broadens experience, especially so if one does it close and personal. Talk to people, learn languages and dialects and jargon, chat, tell jokes, laugh at theirs. I guess its a matter of personality, but even so, its a good thing to do for the sake of establishing perspective. Leave your bubble and enter other peoples bubbles.
Already did that in my life, especially the many years I was doing research on the Civil War for my masters. Did a lot of traveling, and met a lot of great researchers along the way, many who were authors that I shared my research with. Got several acknowledgments in their books, and a free autographed copy as well. Spent 25 years working in uniform in NY State's prisons. Probably broke a few bubbles along the way, and not just among the inmates. Was fortunate enough to live to retire 21 years ago. Traveled overseas twice after I retired, and could still get around fairly well. Been on FR for almost 26 years. Tried Parler, Gab, Gettr and then Truth Social. Didn't enjoy any of them and dumped them all. To me they are just time wasters, and at 77, time is very precious to me. I'd rather be spending my time reading books, which I try to do every day.
