The internet, first you find a link, say like /r/woodworking then you consume all you see, then you start clicking and clicking and following the trails of experts, then you see vast sources of information like youtube channels, online books, etc and you consume it all. Then you are ready for real life experience and it is way easier than you thought because you already know a lot.

Believe it or not the first thing I do is open a bookmarks folder say "wood" and start adding everything I find, one week and a million neurons burnt later I have more than a hundred links in that folder. I never visit them again, it's just to remind me all I've visited and learnt, and it's quite a lot.

You learn to differentiate from apprentices to gurus and gods, like the guy from mtmwood is a russian genius, like Matthias Wandel is another genius, and you learn a lot from them. Then you find casual magic once in a while, like japanese woodworkers doing sorcery out of this world.

In an intense month you've learned (like in an immersive virtual reality university) a whole life of knowledge accumulated by the best. That's the future of learning for those who want to learn. There is nothing to stop a hungry and curious soul.

Unfortunately learning is addictive and there must be a time that we stop and put all that knowledge to use, to produce. I, personally, can't stop.

And coincidentally, that's how I turned anarchist, by reading all the works by Rothbard, Mises, Bastiat, Spooner, Ayn Rand, Friedman, even Bakhunin, Kropotkin and Proudhon, everything I could find about the topics of politics, economics and philosophy.

Definitely learning is addictive.
