It is to me. I'm centuries behind some of the people here. I figure I oughta read up on some science and history, but I don't wanna be studying the wrong thing, you know?
[ like how the museum has filled her head with so many false facts about space and deep sea fish. ]
Depends. Science would probably be more immediately useful in daily applications, but of course there's just as much to be learned from history as well. [ the bigger picture... ]
Where would you start? Or would you rather pick something else entirely?
[it takes a moment for rang to answer, and maybe his silence is answer enough. that he's never thought to learn anything on his own before, content to watch and observe from far away instead. that industry and ingenuity have always belonged to humans, and he's only ever benefited from all they've come up with,]
Instead of reading books, I'd make someone teach me. They've got both the knowledge and the history to draw it from.
[he thinks the same amount of trust would be involved with humans vs these homo books from the afterlife,]
For example, Monika seems smart. You could ask her about science.

Well, learning aside, it might be fun to just read for leisure.
