Anyway, my recent academic interests are medival history of Europe, history of philosopy, economy, and some mordern times philosophers. These are very different types to my earlier interets which were focused on the physics and maths. Actually I was mad at the cosmos in the past.
I'm not sure that I can hold these interests untill I get some satisfactional results. Maybe I would go futher to other area which I don't have any interest in the past within my time allowed. Nowadays I' m rushed from that I don't have enough time to read something until my organs are valid.

"Mad at the cosmos" really hooked my interest.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not sure whether you meant that or the slightly less dramatic "Mad about the cosmos." Both work well.
One of the most exciting physics books I've read this year (or maybe it was last year) was Lawrence krauss's A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing, which also led him into some exciting arguments with philosophers and theists: a collection of topics that is almost guaranteed to engage my interest.
Of course, literature is full of people who are "mad at the cosmos," or perhaps more often one god of another.
Katie's wonderful phrase for a response writing certainly prompted me to set off on my own train of thought.
So writing is dangerous. It has uncahgeable traces of my mistakes. But, it could be "about" frist, and then "at" after. Nowadays I have no interest about the cosmos even there are news about a historic comet landing.
