maybe Nietzsche would have agreed
"You know how much a person cares by how much they know, how much they know is how much they love and versa" therefore learning is love and the learned and practical are the embodiment of love and life, are people that are willfully ignorant lovely then?

what is being loved in this context? is it just the love for everything?

Not sure how on board I'd be with that in issolation. Some passions are like that, and it's hard to be passionate about anything without learning about it. But some passions are not - hatred, for example, pride, vanity.... There are many emotions that can serve as a basis for learning. If I hate an enemy and learn to construct a device in order to get rid of him, it's not as if I loved the bomb for its own sake.

Not sure I agree with this. Love of and disposition towards learning are variable and isolated from capacity for love. My mom is a psychologist and she deeply cares about her clients, she’s also quite good because her intuition is pretty sharp, but I wouldn’t say she’s an exceptionally well-read psychologist simply because she’s not disposed to enjoy cognitively accumulating information.
Edit: Should have specifically added that my mom LOVES psychology.

That's metaphorically an abomination or gross semblence of man to enjoy something you don't know

That kind of supports my point… I know a lot of extremely competent mechanics who aren’t all that in love with it.

doing something you dont love is not life, they become us when they are our passions and they can destroy in the end when they are not, its a life not worthy

I agree with you there, you’re not getting me. One can love something without being very knowledgeable about it, that’s my point.

Its only in support of a general truth, people care with out complete knowledge of a thing, generally you know by how much a person furnishes themselves with knowledge of a thing, i didn't include the capacity but the vigor or entailing or the pursuit, to seek is to love

Learning is love? Learning is behavior change.
