We do not spontaneously learn that we don’t learn that we don’t learn. The problem lies in the structure of our minds: we don’t learn rules, just facts, and only facts. Metarules (such as the rule that we have a tendency to not to learn rules) we don’t seem to be good at getting. We scorn the abstract; we scorn it with passion. | |
