Hi all, this has been on my mind for the longest time so I'd appreciate thoughtful feedback.
I feel like I've developed a strong relationship with this community and I spend a great deal of time here so Sherdog is a very important part of my life. However, the other day I thought about how I don't know if I'm learning anything of real value here. I think learning about martial arts is a good idea, but what kind of information am I absorbing here? I know what TRT is and I can easily name 5 UFC fighters that are on TRT. I even have an opinion of TRT myself. I know that Overeem failed his drug test and I know why he's shrunk. I know that Antonio Silva failed his drug test because I check Sherdog as soon as I wake up. I know that Josh Barnett failed his drug tests and I can even name what he used. I can name the past 10 UFC LHW champions without looking. I know about the political battles behind the UFC.
Why am I drawn into knowing all this information that doesnt have any value for my life?
