Though lack of research because you can't read is a bit of a speed bump in the whole "doing research" process

Yes, but people 40 years ago managed. Youtube and a friend that can read. Hell asking random strangers their opinions on what the challenges of skateboarding across the country are.

You’re not wrong!

I will say, I learned stuff like that to be a good idea through a productive education system which also helped me learn to read

People 200 years ago managed.
It's extremely dumb to just go out cross country with zero knowledge though.

Maybe this is explained somewhere if I could be bothered to research it, but how can he be actually illiterate?

He has an instagram account. How is he reading anything to do with it if he's illiterate? Sub numbers, password resets, comments? How would he even know people are watching if he can't read numbers?

Illiteracy is not binary. If he reads at a second grade level (sounding out, length of word and difficulty of spelling being barriers to correct reading)
