DONE 11:04 Day at Night: Noam Chomsky   @watch

CLOCK: [2023-08-07 Mon 11:04]–[2023-08-07 Mon 11:36] => 0:32

Listening to Chomsky talking about linguistics urges me to study cognitive science again. I've been reading The Polymath: Unlocking The Power of Human Versatility lately, a fantastic book which advocates for having multi disciplines. I already hold some knowledge in various topics (can be checked from my Books list); though I think this only qualifies me as a "dabbling dilettante" as how the book describes, I want to pickup a discipline in which I will be good at just as I am in computer science. But not sure what that can be. I thought of statistic and I started a new statistics book, though I still believe that this still a computing science area. It's hard for me to get into chemistry (a disciple that I'm really interested in) because it feels vague; sometimes I wish if I were a chemist who are looking for a cs class; surprisingly computer science is one of the most open-access disciple to exist. I will start to consider linguistics.
