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.
Life is growing pressure. At a certain point, it collapses your learning curve, and you are a robot governed by your âtrainingâ â conditioned already learned adaptive behaviors. Every OODA eventually turns into an O_ODA. Itâs a when, not an if.
Think of it as adaptation reserves. Itâs a race to accumulate as much as you can before the pressures of human condition turn you into a non-orienting robot. If youâre lucky, your learning curve cruising altitude will be comfy one with jet stream tailwind. FU$ is a good altitude.
If youâre *really* lucky youâll be able to preserve the illusion that youâre still learning.
Nah. If thereâs no open-ended adaptation stakes with non-diminishing marginal risk, youâre just chasing pleasant stimulation, not learning.
