It would be very helpful if all kinds of stories from all over the place could gain traction everywhere, especially in Western “civilization” where it would do the very most good the fastest, but it would be even better if we could learn to train the infant ego away from its bad habits before it hardens into something that uses these shortcuts to make its way in the world. We seem to have a dearth of Chimamanda Adichies, people who are disposed to notice their default assumptions need revising, and actually revise them, actually go about the hard work of ripping them from everywhere they have reached in one’s own mind and injecting something more open and nuanced in each of those places… as she very brilliantly describes here in so short a time.
