quasi-facts --> low quality analysis
i've been mulling over the desire to post insights into indonesian culture for a while. on one hand, i've got a bunch. on the other hand, a lot of them are probably incorrect. as an example, the epiphany i reached today:
quasi-fact #1 -- all indonesians are amazingly skinny
quasi-fact #2 -- all indonesians eat a whole lot of food
quasi-fact #3 -- most food i see eaten by indonesian comes from street vendors
...
quasi-grounded assumption #1 -- these street vendors definitely do not strive to achieve high standards of cleanliness (or really any 'standards' of cleanliness)
...
low quality analysis/epiphany -- indonesians stay so skinny because an unbelievably high number of them must have tapeworms!
this is the sort of stuff that comes to mind... but it's the sort of stuff i can't really post except in jest. it's just mean. right?
