Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

These questions have no correct choices:

  1. Your approach to an interesting topic is best described as:

Read the best books, form a view, move on.

Become extremely knowledgeable about it for a period of weeks or months, then possibly move on.

Thorough and systematic, because understanding something halfway is worse than not understanding it at all.

Develop a sustained interest that remains active for years alongside other sustained interests.

There should be an option for read Wikipedia and watch YouTube for a night then forget about it

Question 15 of 15

The real problem with the world is:

People don't think things through properly before acting.

Imprecision. In language, in thought, in action. Everything else follows from this.

People say one thing and do another.

Rules without reasons, and reasons without the courage to follow them to their conclusions.

Correct answer is human nature is imperfect and leads to things like capitalism and power dynamics.
