When the pendulum swings widely, it seems that people from one end of the spectrum sort of try to leap to the other end. When somebody who only knows from guided learning jumps into “discovery” it often turns into “figure this stuff out for yourself,” forgetting that a lot of these things were only figured out the first time by somebody who then amazed the masses by teaching them what they’d learned… but, on the other hand, “guided learning” can turn into “here’s the recipe for today’s ritual” with no connections made.
