In order to mine experience one must map experience, that is, one must describe or define a topology so that the experience in its entirety is meaningful. We cannot learn from the chaotic. Making meaning out of chaos is in itself an act of learning, but it is necessarily a prerequisite to further, deeper learning.
Learning itself is instrumental: we learn to effect; we learn to solve problems or to extend solutions. Learning without application is indeed wasted labour.
