I focus on the fact that it is the natural state of human beings to learn at an astoundingly rapid rate. This is evidenced by the stellar learning curve of humans from infancy through most of childhood.

Something happens during the extended termination of childhood that effects a steady process of leveling regarding the rate at which new material is learned. The most evident reason for this appears to be the stupefying level of socialization and acculturation that takes place in human societies.

I suggest the most effective way to reverse the dulling effects of extreme socialization and acculturation and to restore much of our natural ability to learn is to observe, question, and work toward limiting the stultifying influence of external forces upon one’s consciousness. This is best executed by the judicious application of strategy toward the goal of eliminating the high degree of enforced stupidity required by our social and cultural contexts.
