It may be assumed safely, therefore, that nature has designed humans to learn.However, modern systems that have evolved in the last few centuries have done a lot of injustice to learning ability of humans – in regimenting them to a sequential program and treating humans as sort of a pseudo-machine to deliver industrial rather than “industrious” work.
Is not a workplace about task completion in the most effective manner – and in that sense the focus being on productivity and availability of right resources at the right time.
Then on a second look, we find that industry had the biggest influence on education system in the first place – wanting silos, specialization, and limited abilities to carry out the rhythmic industrial tasks.
That is another story, that on the other side of the value chain, we also want the same people to be equally robotic in consuming.
While this had benefits in standards of living, it certainly is also devastating at the same time for human agency.
Now, there apparently are three issues involved in upgrading skills in a workplace – one, unlearning the previous way of working, sometimes something that is deeply institutionalized – in the name of process, efficiency, and productivity.
