I'm not arguing that it's not helpful, but I don't think it's a "should" or even a reasonable expectation. Nobody has the time to learn how to do everything that's going to be potentially helpful at some point in their lives. We all set different priorities, and that's fine.

Your original comment was about people attitudes towards stuff like sports, implying a hypocrisy. I was just pointing out how it's a different category in my opinion. Whether it's a reasonable expectation or not is a different discussion (though I would still argue that, yes, it is reasonable. Knowing how things in the world works is immensely helpful and helps build stronger societies. For example in appreciating other's work more and being a more rounded out person, among other things)
