(this is asked on behalf on a friend)

How do I learn to learn, but not go too far... I want to stay around
and learn about twelfth century danish politics, as a sea anemone,
named of ganspaheangea.

You say you'd like to learn how to learn. Fair enough. Of politics,
sea anemones and ganspaheangea, are these only rhetoric examples, or
do you wish to literally learn about them as well?

[Again, this is asked on behalf of a friend who didn't have a credit card handy]

These were rhetorical, rather than specific examples, as the
individual in question is quite capable of visiting the library and /
or browsing the web for starting points.  In the brief discussion I
had with him, he was far more interested in what was the best *method*
of learning, such that he is able to optimize his grey matter utility.
 To "fill his mind with buckytubes," in his words.

The examples were to give a feel for typical examples of what he
perceives as worthy pursuits.

Okay, and by "learning" do you mean learning per se, or specifically
research-internet or otherwise? Also, learning outside of formal
education, or including formal education?

He's not available for clarification, but I would lean toward the
general, rather than the specific.
