How to stop having FOMO as a curious engineer: hold a thread

Great post, and as I was reading it, I couldn’t help but imagine Professor Zei from Avatar: The Last Airbender. The scene where the library containing all knowledge is sinking, and he frantically tries to gather as much as he can. When he realizes he can’t save everything, he decides to go down with the library for eternity. He looked like he found peace with that decision.

I mean, I’m also someone who is fascinated by knowledge, and what keeps me grounded is knowing that there is more to life. There is an infinite amount of knowledge and as such you could also think of that never quenching thirst for knowledge as maybe too much greed.
