      The real purpose of seeking fuck-you money is to stop learning. Interesting and ironic that many self-professed L3s also seek FU$.

      I think I could be happy doing absolutely nothing if I got FU$ 🤔 Most people appear to have Plans for the condition

      This is sort of what I mean by being against lifelong learning. What most people actually end up with is a kind of limited life training. A finite bag of tricks that stabilizes by ~35 and backstops you under the mounting pressure of a median life. https://twitter.com/deltastatesb/status/1227352699248750592?s=21 …https://twitter.com/DeltaStateSB/status/1227352699248750592 …

      Life is growing pressure. At a certain point, it collapses your learning curve, and you are a robot governed by your “training” — conditioned already learned adaptive behaviors. Every OODA eventually turns into an O_ODA. It’s a when, not an if.

      Think of it as adaptation reserves. It’s a race to accumulate as much as you can before the pressures of human condition turn you into a non-orienting robot. If you’re lucky, your learning curve cruising altitude will be comfy one with jet stream tailwind. FU$ is a good altitude.

      If you’re *really* lucky you’ll be able to preserve the illusion that you’re still learning. Nah. If there’s no open-ended adaptation stakes with non-diminishing marginal risk, you’re just chasing pleasant stimulation, not learning.

      wait, why define it that way? learning that *changes* you sucks, but you can consume new info at a steady rate your whole life while it changes your opinion less and less with every new data point.

      because I think that's what best captures the intension of the term as commonly and imo meaningfully used... learning as embodied change and growth. Your definition is very... rationalist. Most learning has almost nothing to do with explicit beliefs/opinions imo.

      I would think common usage basically means "taking in information." Like, reading, having new facts at your disposal, etc. That's not a niche subcultural thing, right? Like, a doctor would say "I'm always learning, there's always new literature to keep up with."

      That's an actual thing doctors have said to me, anyhow. They do read a lot! But they don't totally rearrange their lives or their practices over and over again. Anyhow, c'mon, don't diss me because I'm into *book learning*. That's silly. I'm not going to let that get to me.

          This is a semantic distinction like the one between "research" as in price comparisons for a buying decision and "research" as in science. Two different connotation clusters. I don't consider mere information consumption and formulaic processing of it to be learning.

          I'm not dissing you. I don't there is any point to debating where we draw the boundary around "learning" if we're talking about different things.
