konnislava: How does one get people to teach them history, or anything for that matter? I'm jealous.
Methods I have seen or heard of working:
Sit on them.
As an earlier step, date or befriend people who know about interesting things that you don’t know about (or more realistically, see this as a plus in the evaluation)
Find a friend who knows a lot about a topic and likes talking about it, and then ask them if they want to be in charge of getting and keeping you up to date on the topic. This replaces part of whatever usual chatting you would have done, which can be better for both parties. I can imagine varieties on this, but this is the one I have heard of.
Pay them.
Develop a crush on someone who is already trying teach you things, for instance because it is their job. This is good in the case where people aren’t teaching you things because they are not engaging teachers.
Wait until people you don’t know make online tools or books for teaching stuff, and then use those.
Say you have a kink for hearing explanations of math topics.
