What fascinates you?

'Bout Ye?
Are you fascinated by anything?

For me it's cities. Just so many people going about their daily business, so much life about them. I especially like cities at night time when they're lit up. I also like the urban parts of them too and the buildings.

What about you?
 
lots of things, e.g.

electric circuit boards: Really awesome, they look a bit like gigantic future cities or something. I used to spend hours on tracing little cables around...

I`m fascinated by philosophy and thinking generally. It`s fun and interesting to think about the big questions like "what`s the meaning of life", "Does God exist" and "What is love" and so on.I have started to read great philosophers writings and thoughts. Especially Ancient Greece philosophers , mainly Socrates and Epicurus, interests me.
 
^^ That's actually pretty awesome, well right now I don't have anything fascinating, I have too much on my mind and my fascinations just keeps changing that I just totally lose track.
 
Meta-ethics, social hierarchies and variables and the variables which effects ones ability to control said variables(it doesn't make such sense considering no one's been in my head for the last 5 years), and platyhelminthes.

Great apes and evolution, I read about the humanlike things they've done like the chimpanzees mourning their dead and think how amazing it is and completely goes against the arrogance about ourselves that people have had, humans are not the superior animals of the planet and we are pretty much like the rest of the animal kingdom and vice versa.

Dreams, they are the best entertainment out there.
 
I think humans have far more potential than animals, but the way we utilise and concentrate our abilities just makes us the scum of the earth. We just abuse the evolutionary advancements we don't deserve and humour our primitive deficits(i.e neurotheology).
For those who read my YT description, yeah, I know that's a paragraph of it paraphrased. Meh. I liked that paragraph.
EMZ=]
 
@Felix Yeah, I can see how circuit boards look like cities, especially the purple one. 

I used to be really fascinated with America. I have family that moved over there and when I went to visit them it was just out-of-this-world to me. 
 
I'm fascinated with people, both real and fictional, who are considered "eccentric". That's a big reason why I'm very drawn to Johnny Depp's films - he's pretty much guaranteed to portray an eccentric character in each of his films, especially when he collaborates with Tim Burton. Another good example is outsider artist Henry Darger, who wrote a 15,145 page story about his imaginary world, and drew literally thousands of illustrations for it.
