I think the problem in the west is just demographics. More older people leads to high demand on the healthcare system and fewer working age people leads to less supply.
Funnily enough I wonder if a burst of adrenaline after learning is effective. Kind of tricking your brain into thinking it just survived a dangerous situation and must retain whatever lead up to it.
Using our evolutionary predispositions for good rather than evil??
I always wondered in a half serious way if sex (just innuendo or tittilating images or something) could have positive effects on learning if done right for the same reasons: evolutionarily wanting to retain information if it has a better chance of leading to mating. Of course you'd only test this with adult students.
I was watching one of those performance science podcasts (Hubermann, I think) and I do believe he said that if you take a cold shower immediately after learning, it increases the likelihood that you'll remember it. So I wonder if the optimal learning pattern would be learn > cold shower > sleep.
They generally don't give ouy things that can kill you...though might be useless. Doctors on the other hand ... let's just say cemeteries are filled with people that listened to their doctor
I would say at least for mental health reasons. From personal experience and accounts of others, if you have nothing to work towards and you are not forced to go out and socialise, you will just get depressed after a while.
Now if you are a NEET with a healthy social life and fulfilling hobbies, that may work but I would hazard a guess that this is the exception, not the norm.
