What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I meant no insult to the people of Papua New Guinea, who I'm sure lead lives of blameless bourgeois domesticity like the rest of us... I am happy to add Papua New Guinea to my global itinerary of apology." in the context of "9 September 2006" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
