I think this is very important, I myself noticed that when I was younger, the longer I was unemployed, the more I started reading about socialist ideas and getting into politics. Then when I started working again it went out the window and I moved on to learning about other things.
Similarly, maybe I'm here because I just happened to be in the mood to read some fan fiction that day?
