You amazingly outlined the indirect utility of learning. Super critical in an AI world
However i am missing a point
Nature build any creature in a way that everything that is not used , everything that is not learning (even your muscles are learning when used) will decay.
Nature build in a genuine motivator: learning produces dopamine and is fun itself. Play is fun because of microlearning momemts. Surprises are fun because of a microlearning moment.
Lets go back and understand learning as a form of play and embrace it fully.
Thanks. This gives added perspective and really resonates. Especially the idea that learning itself is the reward. Also that framing of play as microlearning is powerful.
Looking at it this way, there is plenty to redesign in adult learning environments (or even workplaces) to activate more of that intrinsic joy, rather than rely on external motivators.

So true. One problem is our one-eyed mindset that everything must be useful.
