“How does a society inculcate an ‘auto-didactic’ sensibility? Is it possible? Or internally contradictory?

If they fail? They destroy themselves. So the question is more… ‘how do they fail’? The simple answer is this: they presume they already know what stuff is, and does, means and is worth. In general.

Instead of active sensing, the have expectation. Instead of relation? Description. Measures -and identities- based on -standards- rather than contextual intelligence and intimacy. Bibles.”
