Lesswrong is not for entertainment, it's not even that entertaining. [...] If all you're here for entertainment, you suck at entertaining yourself.

Just before writing this comment I was reading a calculus book just for fun. I am currently working part-time as gardener and don't need calculus and don't expect that I will need it any time soon for anything other than understanding ideas that are even more fun. I get an incredible kick from understanding new concepts.

People are psychologically very different. I had some of the greatest fun in my life reading lesswrong.

ETA I also like to take photos, read science fiction and play games...and A LOT more :-)
