I agree. I believe that the breakthrough towards AGI will be neurosymbolic. The 
current deep learning models will be the tissue / cartilage and formal logic 
will be the skeleton. I suspect that evolutionary computation will play a role 
too, probably for hyperparameter optimization and tasks of that nature.

It is possible to be highly interested in both. Why not?

In a sense, I agree. But remember that, even with code, we are sitting on the 
shoulders of giants. A few lines of code in contemporary Python mobilize 
decades upon decades of the blood sweat and tears of the programmers that came 
before, who built all of this amazing infrastructure. How many lines in the 
Linux kernel?
