One of the reasons I think it's so important to foster intellectual curiosity and, ultimately, learning and a love for learning is how it subtly changes the very way you interact with and understand the world around you.

It's funny, because I spent time just to hunt and find a skull in Skyrim just so I could rotate it in my inventory and admire how detailed it was for five minutes, pleased about how I could point out and name individual bones (they even included the individual cranial sutures! Including my favourite suture (lambdoid suture)). I'm now trying to hunt for a skeleton so I can spend even more time admiring it. There's something funny and empowering about how the way I interact with things has changed with my learning.

If there is nothing else you do, learn. It doesn't matter what you learn, just seek out information. I know for some, a love of learning was almost punished in environments like school, so start out with things you are inspired by, things that deeply pique your interest. Learning isn't a punishment, it doesn't have to be scary. Whatever you want to learn about is worth the time and effort it takes to understand it.

#positivity #learning #they absolutely could have gotten away with not including many of the bones or sutures and it wouldn't impact gameplay but they DID #does it count as stufying if i name the bones as i see them while playing? i think it should #the lambdoid suture is the connective tissue which connects the posterior-most skull bone (occipital) to the parietal bones btw #so in essence it is that jagged portion of the skull that you see in the very back. that is what connects that back bone (occipital)...#...to the parietal bones which are anterior (or in front) of it #the skull bones are not a solid thing in that your skull is made of MANY different bones that are almost... welded together #each bone of the skull and each suture has their own name #but my favourite facial bone is the zygomatic bone (like what a sick-ass name)#iirc they even put in the mastoid process of the temporal bone #i talk about this a lot because: 1. it's important to me and 2. i learn again and again how much i love it and how important learning is
