I think it doesn't hurt to learn whatever you can, even if it's not in your direct interests. Never know when it might come in handy.
But I'm studying social justice & ethics and medical science.

[katzepaw]

I agree very much.

I can imagine medical science a little bit, but what does social justice & ethics entail?

[dormheads]

The study of human behavior and values in the context of society. It deals with examining ethical issues in areas such as politics, law, business, public affairs, etc.

[katzepaw]

So you and Viola have a little bit in common. Is it a problem if I ask you why you're interested in these topics?

[dormheads]

Does there always need to be a specific reason?

[katzepaw]

I suppose there doesn't have to be, no.

[dormheads]

Then there you have it.

[katzepaw]

You know, if you prefer not to talk about yourself, that doesn't bother me. We can talk about other things.

[dormheads]

There are better things you could be doing than talking with me.

[katzepaw]

Probably. Just curious.

[dormheads]

I'm not that interesting.

[katzepaw]

[If anything, this conversation has convinced him Chad is interesting, but also shy.]

Maybe you aren't. You are a little interesting to me by virtue of your position, but beyond that I couldn't say since I hardly know you. But I always feel being recommended a book is a good way to get to know a little bit about someone. Maybe we trade recommendations directly sometime? I'd be interested in some of your recommendations about ethics in politics and law. This is another area of some passion for me, so perhaps we have a few academic interests in common.

I struggle with being picked apart and interrogated by strangers. Not my favorite activity. Better not to try to rush in there prying when there are other things to talk about, ja?

[dormheads]

[there is a delay]

Fine. Do as you please. We should be less busy next week, at least.
