I spent an equal amount of time on women and pot and poker-lol. Pretty much in that order-lol. I sure had a of of fun.

I just finished reading "The quantum zoo" by Chown (best book I ever read on physics) and just stsrted reading Brainchildren by Dennett.

The four most important things people should learn as fundamental knowledge, IMO, are a general understanding of our evolution and history, existentialism, quantum mechanics and how our brain works including our consciousness.

E.g the fact scientists have found we are only aware of what we think and do on the very surface of our minds. Most of our real thinkng is done on an unconscious level.

It is worth it to take some time to learn these things. I am sure you agree.

One can choose to live a life where most of what they believe is wrong, or they can take the time to find out the correct answers.
