At the human level, it is not unlearning that is wanted. We do not need to forget nor invalidate anything in our learning. The challenge is to reduce the automaticity, the entrainment, the deep pathways. That is, to be able to think, rethink, transform, use newly, rechunk, recombine, etc. As long as we remember what we are after and don't damage ourselves with a distorted pursuit, it may be that more progress will be made with such terms.
Intelligence is the underlying organisational principle of the universe.
