Philosophy seems too difficult. I do plan to study history of philosophy. And history more generally. I plan to do this in parallel with physics. I don’t expect to personally discover anything new.
I think it has been long enough that I have enough new ideas that I need to revise what I have written. Also I hope I can express some better. Also I may round my ideas out even when they are not as original.
