This is very interesting. So, if someone were to consciously evolve
in a useful and appropriate direction
by playing with the chemical cocktail inside their heads (structure
of the brain) on a chemical or even cellular level, that would be
learning IV?

If there were people who could consciously evolve on a chemical or
even a cellular level, then a person who could map that process
of evolution on a chemical or even a cellular level
would be functioning at learning V. Am I right?
