How much of that is junk knowledge, though? I mean, sure, I love looking up obscure information, particularly about cosmology and astronomy, but in reality, it's not making me better or smarter, it's just kind of "science junk food." It feels good, though. I feel smarter. I don't think I am, though, because the things I really need to work on about myself are getting pushed aside.

For me it's pretty much all knowledge that I'm immediately operationalizing. I occasionally use it to look up actors and stuff too, but most of the time it's information that provides direct value to me
