This is definitely not what I had in mind. I'm in no way suggesting
learning from a book or entirely self-motivated learning. If that were so I
would do away with schools entirely and have computerised assessments for
self-study. Based on personal experience motivation comes from the group
not the individual.

If something has no structure what would motivate you to blow it up?
