I'm going to tweet this:

In general, you've gained more valuable skills from:

(Nonvoluntary as:

1 Any learning u did under threat of punishment (where u didnt agree to the punishment), OR

2 learning you did in order to achieve an entirely unrelated goal (e.g. English class to get a STEM degree))

By poll close, what percentage of voters will have chosen "Nonvoluntary Learning"?

I’ve been thinking about this, and I think most people don’t choose to learn e.g reading and math. They’re force to at a young age. If I were to try to narrow this down, I’d probably split it up as “before a certain age, which is used as a proxy for when people acquire basic skills and after said age, which is used as a proxy for once those skills are acquired”.
