Dunlearning
Has anyone ever heard the word 'Dunlearning'? I can't find it in any dictionary or any source in the internet.
It appears in a motivational book written in an ironic style.
"Don't ask: 'What will I need to know to succeed in five years' time?' and then start learning about it now. Just live in a house with a sign outside saying 'Dunlearning'."
