The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.
People are curious. A few people are. They will be driven to find things out, even trivial things. They will put things together, knowing all along that they may be mistaken.
There is no such thing as great wisdom in the world, just as there is no such thing as talent. What exists is triviality. If you keep doing repetitive things, you become an expert; if you do repetitive things with special focus, you become a master.
