On "developing skills" as an ineffective way to cope with modern culture - yet again, the suggestion that it would actually change more than it suggests - programming, photography, etc. might not change in other fields.

Ability skill building - devaluing those who "don't learn a real skill" during rest - it's like another form of devaluation - like resumifying hobbies - on "becoming" programmer/artist/developer/writer ... it's a bit toxic.

The classic devaluation of rest and sleep.

When people think of speeding up the unwanted.

Others act like you have a greater want, but sometimes you really don't! The usual drive might be to go to social media for new information - they see it as an opportunity cost. But perhaps that's just what the person wants :) Rest is devalued.

It's like "not taking advantage of free time," but if you are forced to do stuff, it's no longer that free anymore, and humans used to live in freedom with free time.

Or they're asking, "Why optimize studying while also spending the rest of the day sleeping?" Maybe it's just that after being freed from restriction, the brain has determined rest to be the least trade-off of energy for benefit (most of the time). In fact, it's extremely mean to suggest an alternative, like programming or socialization (when it feels forced) - like the whole reason they did stuff like hw fast was to get out of this in the first place.

It's EXTREMELY mean - having someone exhausted from school just to tell them it is time to "Build a new skill that school didn't teach you" - secondary work, when already fed up with Primary Work from School + Homework! (Fear of falling behind - soon, or maybe even now- even exam grades aren't good enough. - FOMO dumpstack to more god-damn work) This is a TOTAL non-sequitur.

Tertiary factor: Sleeping and wanting to do nothing paradoxically is seen as burnout] - when it would likely be better than exerting EVEN MORE ENERGY to do things the brain does not like

Just like hustle culture - which makes you do the company's/school's work more in your free time
Resumification of rest - which makes you do what they claim to be "skills" while implying it has to be displayable - and worst of all, we still have not come to accept rest as a good thing. When it becomes "forced" - additionally, the vagueness of "skills" (sounds fancy but technically most things are called that) - if you make it sound like, e. g., "skills-based requirements," it's basically like making it a prerequisite- just another fancy name for a qualification (e.g., online courses!)

I think this hasn't quite caught on with general society yet (I hear skills-building everywhere)
"Learn a real skill that school has not taught you!~" like an antidote to the demands of school, when it in reality is more work

And then the classic "balance it out," but what's the balance - making people even more lost - mad at self when they hear advice; they assume things would get better - but so, so, so vague and not inherent to the problem itself.

Skill-building is still not a solution to those fellow sufferers - at school in a classroom devoid of purpose - they obviously want school to be less boring; sadly, there's no risk-free solution I am aware of.

This is because even if u have a skill u are great at, u can't do it in a lesson. Rather, the dichotomy might cause more problems - you are using 2 standards. Unless u accept school or what it is - a horrible place!
Clearly, not at school; people are looking for a solution to their problem of boredom within school itself has homework also; people stop suggesting unviable solutions!

logic;
a; boredom in school
b; do skills when free! (a is unchanged!).

Lack of displayability to lower-knowings might demotivate extroverts further; some skills are meaningless to the incompetents - like a need for affiliation might not be there!

• People are literally, by nature, biased toward what is socially said b.c. otherwise unknown. Afterwards, people who were already unsatisfied by their unknowingness are more dissatisfied when project no increase popularity

Also, the fact that skills building shows that the education system has not done so- rather, in this era I observe it's all about signalling... *Just another word for meritocracy, but more vagueness and rejectability!

Saying to volunteer, do work, help family - portfolio project ... ALL OF THIS IS NON-USEFUL TO PEOPLE FEELING BAD WHEN FORCED!

---
In conclusion:
The traits to become popular lead to survivorship bias, the exact trait that makes u think other people can always be successful if they exert the same effort as you!!

Silly that the excuse that you need to do that is that school missed them - as if you impose a secondary burden.

If a person feels exhausted by how useless school is, skill-building, if forced, is not going to help - a more gigantic burden on humanity.
