I believe in organizations, the fact that people who have knowledge are more often than not, pretty bad teachers, is much more impeding efficiency and progress than people not being interested to learn.

Maybe teaching should be something thought at school, even if the goal is not working for academia?

I’m obsessed with The Curse of Knowledge. I see it everywhere, especially in tech. It’s the reason why so much code is impossible to understand, why documentation is terrible, why users don’t understand how to use your app. Person A assumes that Person B understands the same things that Person A does, but they don’t, and confusion ensues, and even worse, people are usually blind to the misunderstanding.

Users don’t understand your app as it’s not been built using workflows an end user follows.

As for code not being understandable, that’s just poor coding in a team.

This is why teaching should be left to AI to do, as it can adapt to the learner. That's not to say that a human cannot adapt, but the average human cannot, whereas the average AI can.
