technical stuff you're forced to study.
The fact is your brain craves novelty. It's constantly searching,
scanning, waiting for something unusual to happen. After all,
that's the way it was built to help you stay alive. It takes all
the routine, ordinary, dull stuff and filters it to the background
so it won't interfere with your...
