Honestly, I don't think it matters at this point. I could have a million different hobbies, but does that make me any more interesting of a human being? I think not. Some would say it does, I just think it's shallow. "Yeah, I do this and that... you know, in my spare time." I have all the time in the world. Never felt a need to cultivate anything beyond a "just good enough" understanding of the subject matter. Because really, there is no way we will be able to bring all of this knowledge with us when we die. It's better to remain a novice of the world than an expert of a country.
Who told you that having hobbies has the purpose to make you "any more interesting of a human being"? Shallow? Chances are that it´s you who´s being shallow here.
"...there is no way we will be a ble to bring all of this knowledge with us when we die. It´s better to remain a novice..." Then why are you so unhealthily focused to "touch a horse"? `Cause even that experience can´t be brought with you when you die, according to your weltbild. By the way, could you please elaborate where you gathered that certainty? Have you been dead before? Nobody knows what will happen when we die and it´s no more of a guess to say that "nobody can bring knowledge" than what religious people say...or atheists...or literally anybody who hasn´t died yet. Guesses. Not facts. What if your knowledge and experiences do define your "afterlife"? What if the buddhists are right and karma is real? What if hell and heaven are real, but not in the way christians believe in; heaven and hell being part of our subconsciousness rather than external entities?
If nothing in the world can gain your interest, then you really shouldn´t be surprised when the world returns that favour to you, right? Life is participation.....no participation = no life.
