OMG! So much pressure, being someone's favorite. 
If I were a cat, I'd shrug coolly, and say, "Of *course* I am!"

When you finally master a new skill and then realize you'll never use it again ..It's subtle and subconscious. Mastering any skill changes you at a deep level.
In High School biology, 30 years ago, as I was learning the tedious details of the Kreb's Cycle, I was groaning, "When will I ever use this crap? I'm not even going into medicine!" Guess what?
I still haven't used that stuff, and never will, and I'm still mad at having to learn that. In fact, I'm mad that I can even recall it and wish I could forget that useless junk to make room for something interesting.

When you finally master a new skill and then realize you'll never use it again .."Why speak of the use
of poetry? Poetry
is what uses us."— Hayden Carruth.
To paraphrase Steve Jobs: Learning skills develops the self. The dots will connect, looking back one day. Mastering lots of useless skills adds up to doing really well at something you want some day, with the mastery of those skills subtly informing and helping you.
Jobs learned calligraphy, which he thought was useless but fun. Later, that knowledge helped him develop pretty fonts for the Mac.

In Philosophy, we look only at what was said, and discuss the idea on its own merit.
I'm more of a Philosopher.

This post did not contain any content.Personally, I don't quote posts from closed platforms like Threads, or X. However indirectly, it gives the Billionaires air, and I would rather choke them. If there are any freedom-loving people on there, let them find the Fediverse first, before I think of them as free, and quote-worthy.
