You've moved beyond me. Ever since I came to college, my interests have been drastically getting narrower, to the point that I'm uncertain that I want to pursue something in math, despite this being my fourth year as a math major (and I'll even have a fifth due to slow progress earlier). But I'll tell ya what, I've been interested in various philosophical topics for quite a while now, at least partially due to the intellectual circumstances surrounding my deconversion from Christianity. My interests in science and sci-fi are also partial causes of my affection for philosophy.

It's good to hear you're going to read Nietzche--myself, I haven't read much from famous philosophers. I've got a book by David Hume sitting around, but have barely even cracked it. Ethics and morality is the area of philosophy that interests me most, but I also harbor a love for language--the philosophy thereof, as well as its usage and how it interacts with our minds.

I'm also one of those crazy pedant bastards, but there are times when precision of language is important.

The philosophical black mark in my life is that I was with the Objectivists for 1-2 years. If you don't know anything about them and wish to know about Objectivism, let me give you some warning: the philosophy of Objectivism is more assertion and fallacious word games than it is correct or anything profound. Its adherents that I've run into online are either assholes who will defend Ayn Rand to the death or those who simply can't see the fallacious word games. Should the philosophy interest you, tell me so I can inoculate you with some counter websites. And to tell you the truth, the counter websites would be more convincing if they didn't have to clean up the mess that Rand created, often-times involving her equivocations and circular reasoning, ontop of her evidentially unsupported assertions. Meh, enough about this.

Are you into science at all? Even just seeing what's up and not necessarily studying much? I recommend Science Daily, something a friend brought to my attention. It's full of cool stuff! My favorite science is physics, and I've read stuff by Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene... awesome, the things that could come out of theory, and the things that have yet to be explained by theory! Biology is also interesting, but I'm not too interested in the science in general beyond knowing about the concept and processes of evolution. Psychology greatly interests me because of its connection to reasoning and why we believe and think the way we do, especially as it relates to theism and other, similar, beliefs.

I like J-pop, anime, and manga, but I still need to watch and read more anime and manga so I can actually, "legitimately" claim to be a fan.

I mentioned languages, but didn't go into detail about the foreign ones I've studied. I took four years of German in high school and one semester-long course at my university. And I just completed my third Japanese course (which I won't go beyond due to the instructor and interest). My dad says all I need now is Italian and I'll be versed in all the WWII-era Axis powers languages! XD

Phew, did I write all that? Anyway, I hope I gave you some ideas. "Laugh, and grow fat!" ( <-- MGS2 quote FTW)

i think along with the solitary pursuits for excellence, a lot of growth comes from trying to be useful and in trying to help others (cliche though it sounds).  support just causes.  drink fare-trade coffee.  shop locally and buy home produce.

another area which you make no mention of therefore i don't know whether you're striving to improve in, is being healthy and fit.  you must train.  any hint of gluttony or sloth is a major weakness as far as i'm concerned (even ... a few extra pounds).  also if you can ... be a vegan.

also (knowing some of your politics i know you are in no immediate danger of this) but don't allow the pursuit of excellence turn you into a puritan nazi

i'll probably add more later but let's see how this discussion goes

If anything the plan should be to eat more meat.

Be me. I am the epitome of perfection. I am a giant testicle, floating amidst the empty cosmic voids. I am...The Egg.
