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?
