Agreed. We are more than just cogs in a machine, to be pigeonholed and reduced to being one dimensional.

Anything that doesn't bring economic value aka profit is cast aside. It's rather shallow isn't it? Most meaningful activities falls on the other spectrum.

We need to collectively rethink our priorities for the sake of humanity.

That aside, we can do our part by cultivating our curiosity and continue learning. Not for the sake of it, but for the fun of it.

We are a multifaceted being, after all.

Cheers to being a dilettante! :)

Cheers :) I agree that the key is for each of us to check in with our priorities and do our best to act accordingly.
