To rephrase the title, “people who don’t do things themselves don’t learn to do things.”
Growing up in the Chicago suburbs I never knew where I was going until about age 15 my Dad got me a giant laminated map of the city and surrounding areas about 4’ x 5’. I hung it on my wall and it was my job to give directions. Until being forced to learn I never cared. The article is unsurprising. It’s like learning a new programming language, you don’t learn it by watching YouTube videos, you learn by writing code.
