Wait, have you literally never learned anything 'just for fun'? Like read about an ancient civilization or learned to ski or ride a bike or something?
Riding a bike and skiing definitely hasn't ever helped my employability or level of income... pretty fun though so I'd recommend it.
And yes, people can learn these things inside a school. Although many people also learn them outside of school. But learning is learning.
They're American, they don't have personal time or resources for fun because they prefer the yoke of corporate slavery.
Sure, but I don't dedicate 12 hours/day for 9 years learning to become a doctor "for fun".
Learning to ride a bike does not contribute anything to anyone but yourself so you're not making a great argument here...
