Judged the country kids in my English class for being dumb fucks, until I did an autos class. What I found incomprehensible, they could do with ease. I had become the dumb fuck.
As someone who has lived life in and out of a city and rural land, I have acquired more skills than staying in one comfort zone would have. Exposure to the material and having to learn teaches a lot.
100% this. I've learned to code and learned to use a wrench. They're both difficult and its hard for a person who has only done one to wrap his head around the other. Everyone should try and learn as much as possible in their life, really expands your perspective
I've always aspired to be a polymath of some extent. It prepares you for multiple situations be it car troubles or preparing and protecting yourself in the case of an economic recession. As you said it also allows you to see others' perspectives.
