> Boosting learning velocity/capacity/efficieny should help. Why must we replay histroy when teaching? But maybe we are not doing such a good job at consolidating/compressing knowledge as we used to since there is so much.

I think we are boosting our learning capacity and efficiency by better understanding how our minds work, and how this giant web of knowledge that we have created can be simplified. I'm absolutely dumbstruck that we still teach the majority of children using the same methods used for at least a hundred years, despite the (information) world being a completely different place than it was even a decade ago.
