It's even worse than that. I don't think anyone knows how to teach people to learn. Obviously, individuals have done it, but human knowledge does not appear to contain a process that basically any ordinary teacher can follow to cause any ordinary student to learn how to learn.

That's one of the top ten things I think we'd have after a good Singularity that we don't have now. Maybe even top five.
