Specific knowledge can't be taught, but can be learned. Knowledge that gets you paid. Identify your strengths and apply them to what you care about. Iterate at the edge of knowledge. Building it will feel like play to you, but look like work to others.https://startupboy.com/2019/03/25/specific-knowledge/ …

Classical music is another place where the culture of apprenticeship remains strong. No one expects to become a concert violinist by reading textbooks, attending lectures, and turning in homework assignments. And behold the extraordinarily high standards maintained in that world.

The fragility of cultural practices like apprenticeship is never sufficiently appreciated. Their long history in no way assures their continuance. They must be passed down to survive, and so may vanish altogether in a single generation. Once lost, they tend to stay lost.

Great quote. Definitely you learn more than using tools. It's a very slow way of teaching but extremely valuable. The amount of tradesm that go on to start their own business is a sign of the success. I'm myself one who has benefited greatly from this form of teaching.

Yes, this is what people miss. Mass public education has done tremendous things, but not without cost: it tends to reduce human understanding to what can be put into textbooks, and teaching and learning to lectures and homework. That which doesn't fit into the paradigm gets lost.
