The year I lived in Japan, I ate sushi so much that I lost all appetite for it for a couple of decades. But my acceptance level has returned. It is quite tasty. I especially like raw tuna. I have had Fugu and the tingling sensation on lips and tongue is incomparable to any other dish. On two occasions I ate live fish, once in a tofu soup heated at your table; the fish burrowing into the tofu cubes to avoid the heat, then you toss back the tofu. The other time was catching a small fish with your chopsticks, dipping it in a hot sauce and tossing it back. As it wiggled down your throat the hot sauce felt like burning lava, then the heat exploded and you did not even notice the rest of the fish you ate.

One of the wonders of being an anthropologist is eating exotic foods in order not to insult your hosts.

What is so bad about Sushi? It is a bit fishy and cold, but on hot summer days it can be refreshing. I am not a fan of raw fish but good Sushi is an art.

I think the standard rhetoric is that the Dems limit positive freedoms, where the Reps limit negative freedoms. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/liberty-positive-negative/ Though I have lots of problems with this (always false) dichotomy.

There are exceptions, of course. Anti-abortion Reps want to limit your ability to get an abortion (a positive liberty), whereas Dems tend to want to limit your cloistering away from people different from you (a negative liberty) [⛧]. But it's a good enough dichotomy for most things. I tend to think of the Dems as constraint-based solvers (inverse map) and Reps as positivists (forward map). Personally, I try to be pluralist and agnostic and choose solvers that seem to have a history of working.


[⛧] I'd be happy to live somewhere without any sushi, for example. Those damned Democrats keep trying to force me to eat sushi. 8^D I have the right to live in a sushi-free zone. Don't bring your damned sushi to go plate into the local tap room or I'll be forced to shoot you in the face with my 9mm loaded with 15 hollow points that I trained for a WHOLE HOUR so I can carry it in my pocket.
