I don’t know Ernest W. Adams but I’ve read many of his answers and visited his Quora profile.Here’s what I can see: He’s lived in at least six different countries on three different continents. He’s worked in both the public and private sectors and across multiple industries in various professions. He’s worked on African archeological digs, for government agencies, in scientific laboratories, in artificial intelligence and agricultural engineering departments. He’s lectured at prestigious universities, authored books, designed games, founded international organizations. He’s well-traveled, well-read, and well-educated. He’s lived in both reliably blue states like California and deep red states like Kentucky (which is currently represented in the U.S. Senate by the Republican majority leader and a Republican presidential candidate with libertarian philosophy).Imagine the diversity of people and ideas he’s encountered in his life, working in all those fields, living in those two states, six countries, three continents, writing those six books and many articles, studying and lecturing at universities around the world, etc. He’s got a richer life experience than anyone most of us will meet in the average year. He may not have been to war or driven an eighteen wheel truck cross country, but he sounds pretty well-rounded to me.If someone with this breadth of experience strikes you as living in a bubble, you might need to re-examine your definition of a bubble. Does the bubble encompass the whole world minus your town?

These are examples that I have personally experienced. They do not reflect all white people.Disbelief that I was raised by a male and female otherwise known as my father and mother. Some white people find it strange that I wasn't raised by only my mother. They will ask if my parents are still married. Yes! I understand where the reasoning comes from. Almost 65% of Black American children are raised by a single parent.They can't believe that my father is a medical doctor. And he is the chief medical doctor for his department at the hospital. And he has always managed/owned his own practice. It's as if all Black men are supposed to be an employee. Or that they are all uneducated and in prison. I rarely mention my father's profession due to the awkward way many whites respond.That Black people don't wash our hair everyday. We actually like to keep oil in our hair for moisture and health.That I've actually lived and worked abroad. *enough said*Many of us can code switch. I can teach at a university with a certain vocabulary. Then, I can go to the barbershop and connect with the brothers using a different form of communication.That I can meet a Black person anywhere in the USA for the first time and connect on a friendly level. Many of my white friends say they can't do the same thing in the white community. They find it odd but cool that I can do it. For me, I've done it my whole life. It's normal.That I'm well educated but prefer to be around people based on human connection and not education or economic/social status.

Consider a homeless person. Does he need a fire department? He’s living in a box. Does he need police protection? He has nothing to steal, and any fights he gets into are over before the police show up, if they even bother. Does he need an interstate highway system? Can’t walk on it. Does he care if his country is overrun by godless communists? Might actually improve his situation if the communists are any more sincere than free-market conservatives.And yonder rich guy? He’s got a car to steal and a house that might burn. He has something to lose in war. His business needs roads and rails and airports to deliver goods. But it’s bigger than that. He needs workers who are well educated. He may have reason to fear foreign competition with his business, or businesses in which he invests. He may desire legal protection for his ideas or legal intervention against competitors.Rich people use more services, both in an absolute and a relative sense. They need government more. They should pay more for it, both absolutely and relatively.Why is this difficult to comprehend?
