I still need to understand everything. My thirst has only grown over the years. I cultivate my curiosity by reading things that I’m not directly interested in, sometimes grinding through articles that I find boring.
Ars Technica does a great job of covering a multitude of topics while making them interesting even if I know nothing about them. Check them out: https://arstechnica.com/
Instead of scrolling on social media, try going directly to a website’s homepage and reading all the articles. You’ll learn a lot and maybe find something you didn’t know you were interested in!
Me too…I’ve been stuck on quantum physics for the past 15 years. Soon, I’ll be able to start wrapping my head around chemistry and maybe some biology before I die.
I hadn’t heard of that and at just a glance their stuff looks spectacular! I do watch a mixture of channels on YouTube. I’ll list some of my favorites.
Kurzgesagt - various topics (GOAT for sure)
NileRed - chemistry
Stuff Made Here - engineering
Corridor Crew - movie/TV stuff like VFX, CGI, stunts, etc.
Yeah my friends and I have been reading a book of humanities theory lately. I’m an engineer. I’ve also been fucking around with a home server and starting an organization.
Yeah I like memes and such, but I try to learn a bit every day
i mostly try to keep busy with things, rather than stuff. Reading is a great way to learn, but you have to be very directed for it to be productive. Which to be fair, isn’t incredibly hard.
Find things to do that keep your brain stimulated, and exploit the ever living shit out of them, that’s why smart people exist. That’s what they do really well. Knowledge is 50% of intelligence.

Ohhh thanks for sharing that site, it’s lovely!
Yep, Ars is great. The hate Elon gets in the comments is always a pleasure.
Have you seen the Asianometry YouTube channel? It’s technical topic video essays that are informative and really well made.
