QuoteI think that's why so many 40/50 somethings suddenly develop an overwhelming interest in abstract concepts like climate change, local politics, or an obsessive desire to obtain elaborate methods of transport. If that kind of mental energy can be harnessed correctly then it's immensely powerful, but it also has a dark side because it can be self destructive "burn all the bridges" / some dude almost living in his garden shed compulsively creating squirrel manikins out of spit and horsehair or something equally insane that winds up in the Guinness book of records or obtains an Ig prize.Just had the unsettling thought that I could eventually wind up in the land of Topix doing missionary work to convert the natives to public key cryptography.Probably would get eaten by the cannibals or something.
