As the saying goes, you can ignore politics but it doesn't mean that politics will ignore you.
It is instrumentally rational to be aware of political methodologies both in the sense that they will interact with many issues in your daily life and also in the sense on how you may improve the success chances of any goals needing interaction or cooperation with others.
I agree, but would draw a distinction between studying political methodology and political issues. Many mind-killers aren't mind-killing if you study them through an abstraction layer.
