Reading and understanding philosophy, watching movies, and an overall interest in the world
I enjoy reading philosophy to get a new insight on life while also trying to understand the logical setup of the authors argument. I also enjoy watching a variety of genres of movies for entertainment and to use as a conversation starter. I also enjoy everything the world has to offer from cultures, languages, food, and more. The absurd things that make us human sparks my curiosity!
