Continuing study after school. Whether its science, political theory, or anything, a lot of people stop reading or studying anything after college / school.
Doing something creative as an outlet (music, art, knitting, anything). A lot of people are just consumption machines nowadays, mostly consuming things other people have made, rather than creating something.
Physical exercise.
Having explicit long-term goals and working towards them.

As someone with both ASD and ADHD, I'm practically allergic to not learning. Blows my mind that most people aren't the same in some regard.

Same. I don't own any subscriptions except for YouTube premium. There is an endless amount of educational content on there and it's the only content I really watch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I also have premium. I'm a mathematician and it's always great getting suggested all the new channels posting interesting videos.

As a programmer, same. Endless content on every programming concept, language, or niche that you can think of. Math videos often as well. Numberphile is one of my favorite math channels. They have a computer channel too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I am also a programmer. I'm nearing the end of a double degree in mathematics and computer science. Finding a new video at this point is honestly exciting because I've seen pretty much everything! (or so it feels)

I prefer reading Wikipedia. For learning, I need stuff to be written down in a well-structured, indexed way.
