Not OP, but Nietzsche wrote thus in Beyond Good and Evil: “Ultimately one loves one’s desires and not that which is desired.” I, personally, find this to be very much the case; and I suspect that it is a feeling common, albeit not universal, among the intellectually inclined towards their problems.

This is a view I strongly agree with. While the “worked example effect,” which is apparently a key part of the platform, does seem to accelerate learning compared with discovery based learning [0], I do not think the learning achieved by the regurgitation of another person’s ratiocination is nearly as useful or rich as learning acquired by discovery. In my view, the best way to fully and completely understand something is to come to it in your own mind.
