I think your social life or lack of has a large influence on the things you become obsessed about. A lot of friends and people in general are not going to be supportive of your eccentric interests, in the worst case they might judge you poorly for it but in the best case they don’t mind but don’t find it interesting either. It might be great for your startup ambitions to have a lot of eccentric obsessions, but it’s also socially isolating. I think there’s a reason why a lot of geniuses were also social outcasts.
