History subject is actually making proper sense now. At school it was kinda tedious in some parts. (never had anything against biology, it's all technical stuff that we here like)

Yea, "looking into how guns work" isn't weird. It's just addictive: relative to other problems they're simple and physically intuitive, so for every new mechanism you get a kick from learning another easy thing you didn't need to know.

History started making sense a decade into adulthood, I hated it in school. I picked up a book on Cato and I was surprised some things existed in ancient Rome and modern India: bribing the electorate with money and gifts, people with diverse causes forming alliances and breaking up and again burying the hatchet, arranged marriages to cement bonds between men etc.
