The point is that learning is (can/will be) a video game.

And everyone prefers video games to real life when "close simulations" are available.

Never is this more true than in learning. (no more erasing. no more mistakes. no more sick days, etc. you know the drill. the whole "you're obsolete compared to robots thing")

You can earn credit points that go "bing" as you learn your way through calculus at age 9. or 8. or 5.

This brings up other infinity type questions.

How long into the future will "knowing calculus" be "valuable" (in a finite world)?

Society needs to harvest the natural human tendency towards free and peaceful association, probably above all else. This will require safe places for all to escape to. There is no getting around this.

At what point does it become "too easy" for people to learn new things?

When might I stop worrying about all the world's problems and maybe worry about myself instead?

When the delusions disappear, I suppose. So probably never I guess? I don't know, but simply asking the question provided a moment of feeling like "right now".

As the Foci becomes Focus.
