Why not just study a bunch of different things to Master's level then? Learning something genuinely new seems like it has a much lower return to effort.

IMO 1) There's a kind of "hard" learning you're learning a fixed, structured way from a textbook. 2) There's a kind of "soft" learning which is transmission of knowledge, which happens a lot more face to face when you're working together. 3) Then there's a kind of research learning, where you're doing something new, usually with collaborators. The second and third are really best done in certain environments like research or good companies
