Interesting to note. Does this stem from a belief to be a part of the "smart" community. I very many times have insecurities of being smart or not so I bury myself in topics (like pop psychology) to get the social gratification of being "smart". It's just that I want to be more like the people I consider "smart". I am not saying that the above applies to you, i am just curious whether the thinking is similar as to why we get attracted to "smart" communities and our desires to be in them. (Hey, STEM circle-jerks are fun) What other topics do you consider to be "smart" topics? For me neuroscience and programming comes into mind.drawn to chess partly because smart people are supposed to play chess
