I am grateful for my education, which I can choose to continue for free by utilising our local library.

A library card is one of the last genuinely unreasonable deals still on offer. Access to most of what humans have figured out, for nothing, on the strength of an address.

The catch is that nobody enforces it. Formal education came with deadlines and someone checking. Continuing it afterward comes with nothing but your own intent, which is why most stacks of borrowed books go back half-read.

Curiosity without structure leaks.

Pick one thing you've been vaguely meaning to understand — a war, a technology, how bread works — and give it twenty minutes today. Twenty minutes, repeated, is how people end up knowing things.
