    There are two things that I've always been fascinated with.

    The first is artificial intelligence, or more-so, deconstructing intelligence/behavior down to actual programmable contents. The brain is just a very powerful supercomputer, and a lot of what humans/animals do is simple if/then scenarios. If anything, I'm fascinated by human nature and I want to understand it in a way that makes sense to me.

    The second is "theoretical" science. I really love "what if" situations or "this event happens, how does the planet as it is respond to it?" I also really like geological theory especially (such as making a world scientifically accurate where it's moons properly affect the planet, and the land masses are scientifically accurate although fictional), as it takes a key part in worldbuilding.

      AIs are frightening and fascinating at the same time indeed.

      If you don't know them yet, the YouTube channels Computerphile and Numberphile might interest you.
