Republish: How Much Can You Learn?

It’s Labor Day in the US and I’m likely tackling some chores around the ranch during a stretch at home.

I grabbed this editorial as many of us are labor. We work most of the week for a paycheck, trying to help our organizations and support our families. I re-read this editorial and thought about how I feel about How Much Can You Learn? I wrote this in 2016, nearly a decade ago.

Andy and I still talk about this at times, not so much for us, but for people we work with. A surprisingly large number of people struggle to improve themselves. For a variety of reasons:

  • laziness
  • lack of motivation
  • lack of direction
  • busy with life
  • unconcerned about future employment
  • ??

I don’t know why people wouldn’t be working to improve their skills. I need to rewrite this editorial for the modern, AI age.
