honestly like. long term the two most useful subjects i studied in high school were probably cookery & ethics

in ethics class we learned about a view call Emotivism which is the stance that ethnical beliefs aren’t based on reason but rather on people’s emotional reactions. & I remember being like, hm, in practice I do think that’s how most ethical judgements get made, but I don’t think it should be how ethical judgements get made.

periodically I’ll ask myself ‘is this action actually causing any material harm or does it just make me feel bad?’ Because sometimes it’s the latter. it’s an important question to ask yourself, i think.

also in cookery i learned how to make a chocolate swiss roll which is great for impressing ppl
