Why can't people have interests? We all like certain activities, programming languages, etc. -- can't we think certain cultures are interesting too? My (WASP) uncle learned Japanese and moved to Tokyo because of a personal intere

Serious question: what sorts of things would a person do with this? Not throwing rocks, this is a question based in my own ignorance. I know what Node is, but I don't use it and I'm not an Android dev. Thanks!
