Already do — that's what "brain training" apps; consumer EdTech like Duolingo and Brilliant; and educational YouTube and podcasts like 3blue1brown, Easy German, ElectroBOOM, Overly Sarcastic Productions all are.

AFAIK, none of these teach person, how to research a topic.

Neither did University, for me.

I just liked learning as far back as my memories go, so I've been jumping into researching topics because I wanted to know things.

Universe just gave me course materials, homework, and a lot of free time.

Jobs took up a lot of time, but didn't make learning meaninfgully different than it always has been for me.
