Don't look down on Scott Young - he has written about interesting things and in my opinion is a great author. Don't knock him until you have read some of his work.

For example he wrote this: "How Do We Learn Complex Skills? Understanding ACT-R Theory"[0] (ACT-R[1] is written in Common Lisp for HN people).

Exactly. I want a self help apprenticeship

I find it telling that right in the first paragraph it says “People in the middle ages lit cats on fire for fun” as a fact, while it is, in the most charitable interpretation, something historians disagree on (and in the least charitable interpretation, it smells like bullshit from a mile).

I certainly am skeptical of someone taking Wikipedia as the Truth.
