Others' words
I found an excellent comment over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
pharyngula on the benefits of exploring new fields, keeping your eyes open, and reading widely -
"My bias, admittedly, is that one learns more about oneself by looking at the rest of the world than by looking at one's navel. Perhaps I'm reinforced in this bias by how much more difficult the latter has become as I age."

Also re Pharyngula, he seems to have stopped adding the horoscopes on the bottom. Perhaps it didn't pan out as a money-maker like it was supposed to. Pity, I was enjoying those. Example:
"Taurus: Great news! Soft drink executives are planning to market a new energy drink made from your urine, on the basis of vague, unfounded rumors of your vitality. This is not such happy news for the rest of us, however."
