Nothing practical or useful.
e.g. Woodworking would not be an option, too useful.
Studying the history of woodworking manuals would be an option, it is intensely boring and completely useless knowledge that would never benefit my life in any possible way.
What is a really useless thing I should learn?
Learn another language. It actually makes you smarter even if you never use it.
Personality typology (socionics, enneagram, psychosophy)
That sounds useful.
You can study what I did for a bit. History of comparative economic philosophy. Sure the econ itself can be useful but is it really needed to know what fallacies Marx engaged in where and who argued what when, how ideas were received and responded to. Still interesting.
Or there are all kinds of obscure math with nearly zero application. Topology is a thing. Category theory will melt your brain so I'd stay clear of that, but it's mostly not useful. Study the biographical info of mathematicians. That's hella not useful but still interesting.
Study this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Grothendieck
You could also read everything by Timothy Leary.
What I read yesterday was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contagion
You could go deeper into that.
You must be pale as the fuckin moon to have that desire!! LOL
