Agreed, and there are so many great resources to help learn skills now with the Internet. I think a lot of people want to take the easy path though. They don’t want to put in the time and practice needed to learn a new skill, or are afraid of the failures that are always part of the learning process.

💯 don’t be afraid to make mistakes! Gotta keep reminding my self of that!
One of the symptoms of technology and an oil based western lifestyle, is that people have become detached from physical reality. This is fine as long as the music keeps playing. But it looks more and more likely it’s gonna stop.
At that point, being able to build things and fix stuff will be very valuable.
