<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 7487121, member: 87200"]My twenty something nephew just got a new job at Tesla as a robotics software/AI engineer. He started buying Tesla stock a couple of years ago (not very many shares) and now he talks about crypto and bitcoin. He is indifferent to politics or anything else which does not impact him directly, has no knowledge of civics or history, let alone ancient history. One can say it's a frightening time when people can't assess a situation rationally or with any point of reference. Truly, they don't know what they don't know. But to be perfectly honest, I was a weird kid growing up who read the encyclopedia for fun, was fascinated by Greek and Egyptian mythology in the third grade, and started collecting soon after. Not too many other kids had similar interests. I did collect Topps baseball cards and played baseball up through high school, which was a little more normal. My parents encouraged the latter activity rather than the former for the most part.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
