What aspects of a thing make you care about it besides a personal connection? For me it seems to be:
- A time-context aspect
- An aliveness aspect (life-signs, literal or figurative, where I didn’t expect any)
- A humor/absurdity aspect
- Extremes of scale

This is probably covered by "time-context", but is maybe a little more specific. I get interested in things that are "in a conversation with history". E.g., the evolution of musical styles... when someone comes up with a musical idea that influences everything downstream of it.
