No one is, right?

Like, this spoke for us.

I love that.

What I love specifically is the implication of everything is interesting is really, really helpful, right?

Because, you know, like, I don't know, kids have to learn things in school that they just don't find interesting initially.

And it's like,

or some concepts.

It's like, okay, why?

But it turns out the story behind this is always interesting.

I remember I read a book about the history of

I have no idea why I read this book, but it's a history of double-entry accounting and why it got invented, what problem it solved.

And it's a crazy story.

And it's like...

holy shit, that's like double entry accounting.

But it turns out that if you understand the story behind stuff, like why someone did a thing, or what problem it solved, or at least what the characters were like that had to solve the problem,

everything is interesting and it's like just so like finding the interesting bit to connect with the thing that you want to understand is actually also a skill and it's uh like it's something i had to learn right because i had to like man trust me

I love computers.
