Do you like acquiring still new knowledge on your obsession or do you have it like that you like to just already reread old material on this, you already know, many, many, maaaany times? :) What is better for you?

While re-reading old information on an SI is always great and familiar, I'm always thirsty for more knowledge. There's just so much information to learn in the world and so little time to learn it! :study:

I like to move to different subcategories. my thing is religion so I'll spend a year or two on Hinduism then move to Buddhism and keep up a running thing on Patristics.

Does it matter? Data is data.
