I'm concerned with margins, not extremes. I can find my country on the map. I have an idea of how close my country is to revolution. I can come up with impressive-sounding political theories to discuss with others that signal the personality traits I value.

But I think I'd benefit more by studying the details of physics than the details of politics.

Why? You cannot change the laws of physics and they have no impact of your daily life either.
