Just A New Fractal Detail In The Big Picture (2015)
As a curious software engineer, I have a basic familiarity on where heating oil comes from (I remember my first sci-pop book with a section on basics of oil processing), where nuts are grown, basics of food industry supply chains, and every other example covered. My knowledge might be rudimentary and without much detail, but I try to cover all bases, and when I discover some area of human knowledge I genuinely know nothing about, I jump to Wikipedia in excitement. (I read Wikipedia a lot).<p>I thought that being uncomfortable with own ignorance is a fundamental part of human nature. But apparently it isn't.
