I read books about Stalin, and books about how the Uzbek people came to identify as Muslims, and I read books about how to make atomic bombs, but it just felt like I was creating my own hurdles, and then jumping over them myself, instead of feeling the excitement of being part of a community of learners, a community of people who are engaged together in the cartographic enterprise of trying to better understand and map the world around us.
Pročitao sam knjige o Staljinu, knjige o kako su se Uzbeci  identificirali kao Muslimani, i o tome kako napraviti  atomsku bombu, ali sam se osjećao kao da sam sebi stvaram prepreke, i onda ih preskačem  umjesto da osjećam ushićenje što sam dio zajednice za učenje, zajednice ljudi koji su zajedno uključeni u kartografski poduhvat boljeg razumijevanja  i mapiranja svijeta oko nas.
