Should I learn traditional or simplified?

[blah]

But otherwise, traditional is much better in almost every sense. I come from a Chinese society (very possibly the only one in the world) that can read and write both traditional and simplified Chinese fluently, even up to this generation. Traditional Chinese enables the learner to understand and appreciate (体会) the depth and origins of the Chinese culture and language. Simplified Chinese was simply introduced to increase literacy rates in China a couple of decades ago. Besides, traditional is much more aesthetically pleasing

And I don't think you're the only one in the world who can write/read both simplified and traditional fluently.

That wasn't what I said. Please don't put words into my mouth.

I said the society I come from is the only one in the world whose members can read and write both traditional and simplified Chinese fluently. We use both interchangeably in everyday life.
