I kinda see your point, but at the same time im also a little envious of people like this. It has to feel good to like something so much that they behave how they do. I can't think of anything that I enjoy as much as some of these fans. It seems weird to me, but good for them.

I have my great grandmother's tea kettle. One of my earliest memories was at her house using it to fill the bird bath in her garden. I used it regularly until it developed a leak. Now it just sits on a shelf in my office.

Most of my life is pretty busy. When I have a moment where I have nothing to do, I try to enjoy it instead of wishing it away.

Having the time to do nothing is underappreciated.

I'd never heard of the monkey banana ladder experiment before. At the end of the article it said that that experiment has never actually been done. When searching further, it seems like this is an often cited hypothetical experiment. I found mention of a similar study that actually happened that allegedly had different results but the details seem to be behind a paywall.

I realized the dangers involved. That is why I never became a police officer myself.

... actually the reason is because I was too old by the time I had the idea to try, but realistically I had talked myself out of it before I knew that.

I have had the thought before that the police problem could be improved if decent human beings joined the force and tried to change it from the inside out. I think it could make a difference but I don't think many people consider it because it feels like joining the wrong team.
