so, i mean, i think it should be clear sorting through this that i spend essentially all my time learning, nowadays. and, if you think i should be reading philosophy books instead of peer reviewed science, we can have a heated debate and discussion over what is worth reading up on and what isn't.

if anything, my education is unusually broad and my scope has unusual breadth. but, no single human can read everything. in the end, we make our choices as to what we wish to learn.

and, while it may be somewhat obscure and less amenable to debates at dinner tables in respectable circles, i actually think that what i'm reading is far more valuable than what you're reading - and may even suggest that most of what you read is, in truth, of almost no value at all.

sorry.
