Social Studies - David Byrne[00:00:00]
I thought that if I ate the food[00:00:36]
Of the area I was visiting[00:00:38]
That I might assimilate the point[00:00:41]
Of view of the people there[00:00:43]
As if the point of view was somehow in the food[00:00:45]
So I would make no choices myself[00:00:54]
Regarding what food I ate[00:00:57]
I would simply follow the examples[00:01:02]
Of those around me[00:01:06]
I would study menus very carefully[00:01:11]
Making note of important differences and similarities[00:01:16]
When shopping at the supermarket[00:01:29]
I felt a great desire to walk off[00:01:33]
With someone else's groceries[00:01:35]
So I could study them at length[00:01:38]
And study their effects on me[00:01:42]
As though if I ate their groceries[00:01:46]
I would become that person until[00:01:51]
I finished their groceries[00:01:55]
And we might find ourselves going to the same places[00:02:04]
Running into one another at the[00:02:09]
Movies or in a shopping mall[00:02:10]
Reading the same books watching[00:02:14]
The same TV programs[00:02:18]
Wearing the same clothes traveling[00:02:22]
To the same places[00:02:26]
And taking the same pictures getting[00:02:28]
Sick at the same time[00:02:32]
And getting well again simultaneously[00:02:35]
Finding ourselves attracted to the same people[00:02:39]
Working at the same job and[00:02:44]
Making the same amount of money[00:02:47]
Living identical lives as long as the groceries lasted[00:02:50]
