    How do I learn to learn, but not go too far... I want to stay around
    and learn about twelfth century danish politics, as a sea anemone,
    named of ganspaheangea.


  • He's not available for clarification, but I would lean toward the general, rather than the specific.

    You say you'd like to learn how to learn. Fair enough. Of politics, sea anemones and ganspaheangea, are these only rhetoric examples, or do you wish to literally learn about them as well?

  • Okay, and by "learning" do you mean learning per se, or specifically research-internet or otherwise? Also, learning outside of formal education, or including formal education?

    These were rhetorical, rather than specific examples, as the individual in question is quite capable of visiting the library and / or browsing the web for starting points. In the brief discussion I had with him, he was far more interested in what was the best *method* of learning, such that he is able to optimize his grey matter utility. To "fill his mind with buckytubes," in his words.
    The examples were to give a feel for typical examples of what he perceives as worthy pursuits.
