I used to study them all quite frequently but have stopped in the last few years without knowing why. Now I realize it's because I'm trying to justify knowledge vs. usefulness. Trying to get back to some of them now, though.
It's interesting that I have yet to find others who also like to learn about varied topics, outside of those who enjoy learning about technical topics. I guess that's why I'm a generalist (and why generalists are usually INTPs).
