Skin in the game. Being "smart" isn't an immutable property of a noun. It's a verb. It's something you do, something you practice, constantly. Even in fields like Math where ostensibly we have universal truths accessible to all, we still must learn how to derive proofs. Without doing math, one cannot understand math. Learning IS experiential. It requires concentration and effort. Those who seek to make learning "easier" by removing effort are embarrassingly misguided about human cognition.
