#304> What does one do with an intellectual life other than swimming through intellectual content? Psychology: I've used it. HEXACO/Big 5, I've used it to find my girlfriend and test on compatibility. How do you do that? Well, I score high on "openness to experience", I can spot other open people from a mile away.

#310This is a good problem to have. Having a curious mind and taking pleasure in learning and growing, for me at least, is the highest pleasure. I'm into computer science, piano, European history, politics, Buddhism and a few other things. I get frustrated that there aren't enough hours in the day and it can feel a bit overwhelming.
