          Well, to me it sounds more like a skill rather than a hobby.

            Getting better at a hobby makes it a skill. Get better at pottery and its a skill, doesnt mean its not a hobby.

              Yeah, fair. What I thought was that critical thinking is a skill that everyone should have, which makes it a life skill rather than a hobby where everyone has a different one and its fine not to have.

              Though something like learning multiple languages or even just a second language is another example where it could be classified as both hobby and crucial life skill in my books.

        It shouldn’t be just a hobby. I think it should be taught in schools. It is the source of most of the world’s problems.

      I got recommended to read Thinking Fast and Slow on lemmy and I’ve been really enjoying it, much of it is about hidden assumptions and critical thinking

      Check out David McRaney if you haven’t already. I have the same interests. Most people don’t explore what actually motivates their beliefs. It’s a fascinating subject.
