First time in my life seeing a female taxi driver in Uzbekistan and at Yandex Go.

Though I paid for a Standard taxi, the service was at the Comfort level – the woman simply CARES about her car and service.

The car is clean, tidy. Nice music is playing. AC is working perfectly. The car even has some pleasant calming scent.

The taxi lady herself also seemed aimable. She even texted (!) me in the app once she arrived.

I hope to have more taxi rides with female drivers in the future.

Shout out to Nargiza from Yandex Go!

Lol I just realized how sad my gap-year-post-IB-brain might seem to you after reading all these posts.

But I promise to not torture you for long with such content, and avoid my intrusive thoughts on survey’s numerous areas of improvement.

Next year college is gonna start, so I’ll probably spend my evenings desperately decaffeinating my blood system, or pursuing some other ~~less~~ noble endeavors.

✨It’s just a phase✨

So what? Pt. 1: Presumptions and hypotheses

To be completely honest, I was just bored, it was late evening the other day, and I couldn’t fall asleep. So I decided to scroll my Pinterest, and the illustrations above are some of the ones I found interesting.

But let’s ~~pretend we’re fancy and cool~~ philosophize?☝️

Feel free to consider it as a thought experiment, but beware that further analysis merely represents my personal interpretation, so it might be limited and developed further.

Presumption 1.

First of all, I omitted the illustrations’ names on purpose. If you already voted, Pic 1 is titled “Philanthropy”, Pic 2 is “Ladder Maker”, the third is unknown. I did so to let the observer find their own interpretation, ~~but eventually make youconform with one of the two limited options I provided~~.

Specifically, I was concerned about the first question being addressed to “Philanthropy” by the observer. Instead, my goal was to present Pic 1 and Pic 2 as illustrations with potentially contrasting interpretations.

Presumption 2.

Considering that the audience of this blog
(1) possesses sufficient English proficiency and level of curiosity to tolerate my longreads,
(2) vastly constitutes young adults,
(3) vastly originates from developing societies,

I assume that the first picture will be mostly considered “triggering, intimidating”, while the second one can be perceived as “encouraging, inspiring”.

Feel free to share your feedback and/or preliminary reflections in the comments below to later compare with the results!

Stay tuned for pt. 2 covering my reflection on the ~~failed hypothesis~~ results, and my mischievous plans on the third picture which you probably didn’t even notice me ignoring in this post :))

Always yours,
The one who loves surveys and provokes trust issues?
