Analog electronics are really cool, but they're also less forgiving in learning than digital electronics are.

Taking an Arduino and doing some simple projects is simple enough, but it's not always that easy with analog electronics. I don't mean to discourage you, it's perfectly possible, it's just somewhat harder to understand.

Very soon into your journey in analog electronics, you'll run into working with AC signals, and at that point I'm quite sure you're going to need some sort of oscilloscope. There are cheaper desktop oscilloscopes for 300€-ish (for example from the brand Siglent) that perform very well for the price. If you wanna go cheaper than that, I have a DS212 mini handheld oscilloscope from Miniware. It's quite basic and lacks some functionality, but it's a banger for the 90€ it costed when I bought it.

To your list I would add a soldering iron, and if you allow me a recommendation, I'd buy the latest model of the Pinecil available, I think that would be the V2, from the Pine64 website. It's an amazing little soldering iron that, again, is impossible to beat at its price point.

Good luck in your endeavours!!

we know there is a substantial portion of humanity, that just can't be convinced or motivated to engage in collective preventative action

That's one aspect of humans

I can't disagree more. Especially during COVID, you could see that most of the people unwilling to wear a mask belonged to a certain political group, and watched certain media that told them to act in such a way. I could bring you the opposite example with China, where the regulations worked extremely well and people didn't do this bullshit. It's not a human trait, it's just a certain ideology promoting selfishness.
