Which of all your skills is your favorite? Is it vim, cooking, poker, s*x, day trading, soldering, credit cards & money, spiritual understanding, c#, an instrument, or some really cool meta learning skill I don't know about yet. I'm quite interested in Feynman and studying the way my own mind learns and constructs concepts.

Using obsidian to create a personalized framework for gathering, processing and storing information. It lets you incrementally build your knowledge in the form of notes, create relations between concepts from different fields, store references to original sources, etc. If you plan on being a life-long learner, memory can only take you so far. There's a lot of normies thinking it is the holy grail of learning, so there's a lot of bad information out there. However, it's definitely worth looking into it.

method of loci, and mnemonic techniques in general. best thing i have ever learnt hands down. also some interesting parallels to cs, "Advanced Memory Palaces" by Joe Reddington is a really interesting read if you want to go down the rabbit hole. providing actual structure to memory is an amazing skill, taking these techniques past the surface level and basic memory feats is immensely useful, the ability to binary search over your own memories is crazy useful

I am quite a proficient writer. It is a blessing to be able to convey your own thoughts to other people or you in the future! The ability to express oneself is truly our connection with the divine.

Math, specifically measure theory. That way I can rigorously prove that I'm probably better than someone who is in an applied field.

I'm having a lot of fun with dialectics. Forms include "what are the north/south pole of this spectrum?" to explore a space, synthesizing a dialectic into personal, practical ethics (ie, knowing that the extremes are A and B, with drawbacks and rewards X and Y, what should I do?), and connecting any particular in/out binary to the universal dao. I'm not 100% confident that this is all good nor useful, but like I said, fun!
