I've tweeted this before, but I don't relate to this mindset at all. Being an adult is not feeling like you "know" everything it's the realization that even in situations of "unknowing" you have agency. You take responsibility for yourself and others.

On my first date with my husband we were strolling through Manhattan and a woman yelled "take care of her, she's caliente!" at him. That's why smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is important.
