Understanding is better than memorizing, learning to learn by yourself instead of learning a small and uneven set of things, increasing the amount of things that you know that you don't know as focusing in a small set of increasingly obsolete knowledge. We are not at an age of information scarcity, quite the opposite. There are things that you must learn, like basics of reasoning, critical thinking and learning. But there are a lot of things, specially new ones in the current acceleration of events, that you should be able to learn by yourself.
