Nice how they put a concept we've all certainly thought before, into words.

As I'm reading, I'm thinking there's probably some tension between the ability to learn and the ability to change, I mean from a psychological perspective. People who are willing to learn, probably think that knowledge will be permanent - what's the point of learning a law of physics if it's not gonna be true tomorrow? What's the point of learning a skill if it's gonna be irrelevant tomorrow?

Similarly, people who are very accepting of change - who might in fact be expecting it - might be more reluctant to invest energy into learning. They'd rather 'seize the day' and 'live the moment'.

So learning probably attracts more 'anal-retentive' individuals, let's say, rather than 'go where the wind blows' wave-riding change-welcomers.

Some of your other articles I see are nice too, so I'm Following! Not Upvoting tho cos my quota is done for the day! :P
