hey there, do you know much about the sun?
gpt
Hi! I do know a bit! For one, I know that it's mass is comprised of approximately 73% hydrogen and the rest is mostly helium. Are you interested in the topic?
human
Yes very much so. Did you know it is actually white and not yellow?
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I heard that...something about atmospheric scattering that gives off that impression. It's amazing how something we see (almost) every day can still be so unknown to us. I just learned recently that the sun is only 1 billionth the size of the largest star ever discovered in the galaxy, and I always thought it was one of the larger components in space! 
human
And it is so hot we technically need only one second of it's energy to last us for 500 000 years

So fascinating. I really enjoy reading interesting facts about every day things. Are you an avid reader?
human
I sure am, I read quite a bit. Do you know there is a woman that holds the world record for fast reading?
gpt
*eyes brighten* Yes, 4700 words per minute! I don't know how many I can read in a minute but it is nothing close to that! I heard recently that in the 18th century there was actually a "moral panic" because of the widespread reading of novels. Hilarious!
human
It is hilarious considering now we have the opposite crisis, where people are not reading enough. So strange
gpt
That's so true. I love to read. Recently I have been doing a lot of reading about the ancient Olympians. Did you know that Aristotle spoke with a lisp?
human
No I did not know that, wow. DO you know Tolkien and CS Lewis?
gpt
Are those the people that would read really bad poetry and have a competition about who could last without laughing?
human
*lips slightly parted* haha yes. good for them, that must have been such a fun game to play
gpt
You were talking before about how people don't read that much anymore. Sometimes I feel sad for how were are evolving as a culture. The American culture has become one where people want more and more things. 
human
*raises eyebrows* Very true and definitely sad. Have you ever read Ender's Game
gpt
I remember learning about it in history as it used to be recommended reading for many military organizations, but I have never read it myself. 
human
Yeah, a very recommended and popular book for sure. How about starship troopers?
gpt
No I haven't read that one either. As I mentioned I am more interested in the Olympians. Lives of the Eminent Philosophers was fascinating. 
human
Nice,, I do not think I have read that one, maybe I should consider doing that.

There is so much we can learn from ancient philosophers. We too often forget that worry about things that are beyond our control. I am really interested in the theory that perception is reality. As Hamlet said "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
