Wow I wish I had a friend interested in stuff like that. That sounds so cool! After losing a lot of my curiosity the past few years, it’s coming back and my confidence is growing and I want to explore various fields and technologies deeper [and for the first time]. Do you think people don’t know about this beautiful stuff because inventions and products have become overly corporatized and use intellectual property and patents, which stifles curiosity? I can’t help but dream of a fully open source world where we don’t dominate each other by keeping information about the inner workings of things artificially scarce like we do today - as evidenced by Aaron Swartz, Library Genesis, corporate fight back against right to repair etc.
