I love the latest article from from Clive Thompson, in which he talks about the benefits of “indulging your weird, offbeat obsessions”:
It’s enormously valuable to simply follow your curiosity—and follow it for a really long time, even if it doesn’t seem to be leading anywhere in particular.
It reminds me of a couple of movie examples I wrote about recently: the guy who watched Predator 146 times and wrote a book about it, and the “365 essays about Road House” project.
