It is a deep and harmful misunderstanding that learning should be fun. It rarely is. Learning should be meaningful.

All of those things can be fun depending on context and, perhaps, how you define fun.

Perhaps there is a way to make most things fun. Then "learning should be fun" is an statement about how to approach what you learn rather than about what to learn

"Relevant" doesn't imply "meaningful".

How does this apply to doing my taxes? It’s not fun. Should I just not do it until it seems fun?

I guess some people just have more fun than others.

Yes. If someone can eventually figure out why that will be a big deal.

Great thread. I will add, learning is only meaningful when it is experienced. Fun is just a motivator but fun does not get you experience. How do you experience something? You interact with it!!
