His argument is learning is never a waste of time, even if you don't ever use and forget everything you studied. The simple act of learning is beneficial, it helps build connections in your brain. You develop skills that can be applied to other problems.
- cgag 10y agoIt's always beneficial but is it always more beneficial than going to the gym, being with your kids/SO, sleeping more, etc? Everything has a cost. I'm very heavy on learning for learnings sake but I don't like the way it's framed as the correct thing to do.
- ktRolster 10y agoLearn with your kinds/SO. Let's be honest, a lot of your time with them is spent watching TV or something like that anyway. Turn it off and read together.
