This was exactly what I realized lately. I was like the author (and still am to some extent) that I'd scratch an itch but only in a superficial way and then drop it when my energy could not hold.
These superficial learnings essentially become my escape from real world: family responsibility, work and others. I guess I need to grow up and somehow indulge myself with real life but heck I refuse to do that even at 40+.
- inciampati 3y agoAs someone with what seems like unbounded, overwhelming energy, I use learning as a way to tire myself out. The alternative is overwhelming everyone around me. Or spending many hours a day exercising, which I can't organize due to my life situation. But until reading your comment I had never thought about how most people might just not have the energy to dig endlessly after every new idea. It didn't click.
