In my other free time, I study almost every subject I can get my hands on. Lately I've read a lot about theory of mind, history of Christianity, stellar nucleosynthesis, astronomy, evolution, abiogenesis, skepticism, rationalism... and many other things as my meanderings lead me.

Is it time to move on somewhat from those pursuits? The intellectual ones, not the physical ones.
