It does sounds rather obvious. But, I can see myself thinking about this more consciously in the coming days because of this post.

That's what originally struck me as well.

It's easy to get carried away with falsely believing we're interested in something from a macro perspective when in reality the only thing(s) we really care about are micro or otherwise specific.

There's also often a difference between what we think we're interested in and what we're actually interested in.

I once read a quote that said something along the lines of "the movies at the bottom of your Netflix queue are who you want to be (Documentaries), but the ones at the top are who you really are (Action Films)".
