Funnily enough, it seems to me that forgetting old experiences so they feel novel again would be the solution if there is any solution to be had.
Learning quickly may work for a time, but the universe is finite. There is a theoretical upper bound on storage space for that reason alone. Therefore there is an upper bound on how much one can learn.
Seems likely, neurons only last a couple of decades—memories older than that are reconstructions, - things we recall frequently or useful skills. If we live to be centuries old it is unlikely that we will retain many memories going back more than 50-100 years.

Repeating the same thing over and over again might be okay but doesn’t sound great.
