If wealth implies having the luxury of time to engage in your passionate interests, then why don't wealthy intellectuals hire tutors so they can understand complex subjects faster?
The strange thing is consultants are usually hired so that the wealthy do not have to think about some things (for example: financial planning), but it is a rare case where they are hired to do something better.
Yet it is not unusual for the wealthy to hire personal trainers because it's common sense that you can't outsource your physical exercise. So why aren't there personal 'cognitive' trainers?
Why is it fine that we send our children to schools with the finest teachers but it's not okay for us to hire the finest teachers for our own adult education? Is there a cultural taboo that adults do not need good teachers?
Is this similar to the taboo where many people avoid psychiatrists? Is there not a recent phenomenon that people are hiring performance coaches? Perhaps the word coach is better for adults than the word tutor or teacher.
After all, professional athletes still hire all kinds of coaches. Why then aren't their coaches for professional knowledge workers?
