Welcome to Hubski! Reads like you've got quite a life going for you that could bring an interesting synthesis of ideas to discussion. Look forward to seeing you around! Looks like Ben got you covered with the religion part as well. Tags/threads with relation to books and games and such aren't far from reach here either. I can relate here on multiple levels. This will sound like an odd plug/spin, but with regard to bouncing around with reading books (WORKING ON IT MYSELF!) I found graphic novels very easy to digest starting out. Oddly enough, it started with anime and ventured into manga. While I'm at it, did you know that the manga/anime series Ghost in the Shell was an influence on the creation of the Matrix? Guess my point being that manga/anime has some phenomenal explorations of 'big ideas' so to speak. May as well throw in a plug for the anime series Psycho-Pass as well. Great Sci-fi content and food for thought. Back on track, though, thank you for taking the time to share and welcome! :)I was actually tested for ADHD earlier this year, but don't meet the diagnostic criteria. I still have a lot of the relevant symptoms, though, particularly needing a lot of stimulation, bored easily, and difficulties with forming a self image (which is distinct from having poor self-esteem). I crave input (hence the name).
