"Charge money (from those who can afford it), and the desire to learn will be ignited. Unfortunately, we are not wired to appreciate constitutively free stuff."
I think the reason why we learn less online despite the abundance of knowledge and information is that, physical classes offer two things that online education does not: structure and cohort effect.
It takes a remarkably driven person to set up the structure that allows them to continue to learn. For the rest of us, people learn better when they get with this structure and have other people in group aiming for the same group. Classrooms do this for students.
Even people who pay for online education and resources routinely do not finish them. I know courses I paid for that I'm yet to finish 🙂
