I thank God for giving intellect, that we may understand the things that you have placed in this world but more importantly to also understand your salvation plan through the Bible.
And so for the other extreme. I also like to indulge in most and all things intellectually stimulating. Anything and almost everything under the sun. Topics ranging from the hardcore theoretical physics and maths and to history and to apologetics. Artistic interpretations, psychological impacts on various areas are among some of my weaker subjects but still something I like talking or at the very least, listening.
It's quite funny that sometimes with certain people, they don't take me seriously when I'm in the intellectual mode. Also sometimes I feel unsatisfied that I'm not challenged intellectually. I guess that was one of the primary reasons that I stopped my PhD topic. It has stagnated to the point where I don't learn anything anymore. Having to come back to study something else, it a breath of fresh intellectual air. With a twist of mindless coding.
With a liking towards intellectual talk, there is a price for me to pay. There are things where I feel intellectual, having contributed to the conversation, and yet I feel like I don't know what I'm talking about. Like I don't know the deeper truths of the topic. Those times its when I feel, ironically, stupid. It's a slow learning process for me, trying to pick myself up every time I think I have made a fool of myself. But I guess with things like these, I don't have the necessary experience to talk about such things. Perhaps I should learn to shut up more and listen while mentally taking notes.
On a different note, the drums on the Wicked soundtrack is epic.
