If I spend 40 hours a week thinking about selling carpets, I can then buy books & films & games & travel. Poor big-brained apes, we are.

I feel most sorry for children. They're legally obliged to spend several hours a day thinking abt things that don't interest them at all.

And it's years before they're allowed to pick the things that do interest them. I see why it's necessary but it's still a huge imposition.

At parent's night, science teacher was hounding a boy abt why he wasn't motivated to revise. He cldn't say 'My interests lie elsewhere.'

My French teacher told me I must boring because I found every one of the school clubs boring & just wanted to talk to my friends or read.

There's an expectation to have a wide range of interests & I never ever have. Always a very few intense interests. University was great.

I don't think I learnt a single thing in chemistry & physics. My brain simply won't hold on to information like that. It rejects it. Angrily

Which is why it's good we all have different brains. I can empathise with fellow obsessive nerds of all stripes w/out getting it.
