Philosophy
Philosophy is one of those topics that chose me more than I chose it. I got sucked into a few philosophies, but eventually, I started to distance myself from a search for “truth” or “meaning” that initially drew me to the topic. The more I read about different philosophies, the more I realized I needed to expose myself to more of them and eventually all that I could find. After a long time of this, I started to understand that I wasn’t as interested in philosophy anymore as I was in the lives of philosophers and the discoveries they made related to what we call science and mathematics these days, and eventually to more recent philosophers when scientists and mathematicians became their own disciplines. The overall story of philosophy over time is probably the most interesting thing I’ve ever learned.
