#### How do you Unlearn Unlearning?

I've been told there is a badge for it. I only have Unlearning I. I cannot Unlearn it so I am learning Unlearning II. However, If you can't unlearn an earlier skill before you unlearn a later skill in the tree doesn't it then become impossible to Unlearn Unlearning I or II? If I need UII to unlearn UI, wouldn't I need to unlearn UII first? When I finish learning UII, how can I unlearn UI since I would be required to unlearn UII first? If I were able to unlearn UII, how would I then unlearn UI? I'm am sooo confused and I have a headache :-/

- You need to unlearn Unlearning I before you learn Unlearning II or else you would have to unlearn both I & II. So stop learning II and unlearn I. Then you learn I again.
  Rereading that, it is very confusing, so here it is in steps.
  1. Stop learning Unlearning II
  2. Unlearn Unlearning I
  3. Earn badge
  4. Learn Unlearning I
  5. Learn Unlearning II

- So, once I've learned unlearning one I have to unlearn it and then learn it again? So it's going to take me two extra days to learn everything. not happy

- I tried to unlearn I before learning II but it wouldn't let me. I couldn't make UII stop so I am unlearning it. I guess maybe I won't get the badge?
  ETA: I failed to notice the Slider. The Skills I could unlearn did not include UI, I thought. I was wrong. I still couldn't find a way to stop UII though I have stopped skills in the past. Now I must wait about 20 min. to unlearn UII which is silly because I have not really learned it yet. It is now taking me nearly a month to learn anything, very tiresome and disappointing.

- Same here Brib, so I just continued. Had to unlearn UL 1, 2 and 3 and then finish UL 1 again to get the badge.

- So sorry Tricky! it seems the more I try to speed up learning anything the longer it takes. BL skills barely helped. They may be next to go.

- Better learning really does have a pretty big benefit as I recall, though if you are as far over the "full brain" limit as I am, you probably don't see the benefit. Honestly, I would unlearn pretty much everything else before I would unlearn better learning.

- I'm a bit late to comment, but unless the game has changed, the only way to stop learning a new skill is to start learning a new one.
  Even then it's not so much a stop as it is a pause.

- Why would you unlearn the better learning skills? They dont affect your time or anything just like the unlearning skills... Unlearning better learning would be an even bigger waste of time since it doesn't increase your skill time in the first place it decreases it...

- I won't unlearn the BL skills but I am disappointed that they seem to make little difference. I want to Learn everything! This, of course, makes learning nearly endless. I lack only about 4 or 5 skills now not counting the Unlearning ones which I successfully unlearned at last. Now I am learning the last Tinkering skill. At 13+ days, it is much shorter than the last Tele skill was. Sigh. In the meantime I am doing Achievements.

- Where is this badge listed and what is it called? When I look on the achievements page, with my obtained badges hidden, I still cannot find it. And I have not unlearned anything. I have all of the skills. I'm more than a little confused here.

- It's called "Confounder of Logic" and you can see it on my achievements page. It's one of the hidden achievements that is not listed in the Encyclopedia.

- It's a hidden achievement, so not listed on the any of the main pages.

- And now there are hidden achievements? Why? (Rhetorical question. I'm not actually looking for any answers from other players.) Thanks for the info. and the links!
  Edited to add: Is there a list anywhere of all the "hidden achievements?"

- I can confirm there is NO achievement for unlearning Unlearning II or Unlearning III, of which I've done both.

- Definitely don't do what I did, which was learn Unlearning I, II, and III, then unlearn III to discover you didn't get the achievement, so say screw it, re-learn III, then find out you have to unlearn the first one, so unlearn III, then II, then I, get the badge, then relearn I, then II, then III.
  That's a whole lot of needless learning and unlearning.
