I want a way to piggyback into someone else's mind. To understand the
gay life from inside the brain of someone who has lived that way for
decades.
Other beings I'd like to understand from the inside: women, lesbians, nuns,
seasoned warriors, hit men, the Dalai Lama, my daughter's rabbit, an ET,
Koko the gorilla, fat people, little people, blacks, a dictator, my friends and
family, Stephen Hawking, a humpback whale, the blind, an SI, an AI, ....
As interim substitutes, I read books and strike up conversations with people
(and animals, I suppose) wherever I go.
