Sometimes I wonder if it is worth learning some things.

I just spent $80 on 2 books that is the complete history of the internal combustion engine, and the development of the diesel engine.

There is literally no reason for me to learn the history of engines. Even if it has been a curiosity for years, I gain no value in learning it.

To work on an engine I don’t need to know the history, society is moving to electric engines so the future value is

negligible.

I have read about 8 history books in the last 3 months on agriculture, tractors, and farm tech. Most of it does not gain me anything.

So is it really worth it?

Anything's worth learning. You’ll make connections you wouldn't otherwise have made, maybe years later.

True, and I think that is the thing that keeps me going back and reading is I keep waiting for that day. 😆 Granted most of my life has been centered on technology, software, cloud infrastructure. Only in the last few years have I worked on learning things in the real world. So I have a lot to catch up on, and have a bit further before I have enough of a base of knowledge to start putting those things together.
