Hurray! you just invented a new troll! A ‘definition’ troll. awesome.

“if i have grasped it, and I can talk about it, then it can be defined”

no. Depending on the detail you wish for the definition of course. If you’re comfortable with me saying ‘learning is change in a person, good or bad’, then fine. Learning can be defined. But that’s not much of a definition.

But if you’re not happy with that definition… then I encourage you to try and find a standard definition that most people would be happy with AND can actually do work with. Because to me, if your definitions are good, then you should be able to decide how to do things BASED on that definition.

I’ve never seen one for learning. (or love, fun or lots of other things lots of people talk about)

If there absence makes them unscientific… and that to you means that they are a ‘massive fraud’ that is a definition that you are welcome to.

Definitions are contextual, embedded in bias and are often ‘for’ something. So i might define learning to my son as one thing when he’s trying to drive a car or something else when he’s learning how to find a mate. They are both appropriate usages of the word ‘learn’ but not terribly the same.

I see the world as complex, and difficult to explain. You see the world as only relevant where it can be easily explained. We are different. 🙂
