If only life were that simple.

The reality is that learning is a ridiculously complex vector function in
an incomprehensible number of dimensions. Because of this there is no
meaningful value for X, max knowledge. Doing more learning early on
doesn't guarantee that you'll be better off, and can even make you worse
off, as you get stuck with pre-conceived notions and such.


I think what you mean to say is that if knowlege is K, dK/dt cannot be
maximised (nor ensure that it remains positive) . The dimensions are
irrelevant in so far as K can be projected orthogonal to the time
axis.
