Probably not, and besides to consciously stop learning to save one's life is a form of learning in, and of itself. Lots of people are quite learned, and yet do a good job of appearing stupid, and ignorant, so I suppose I could just learn to present myself as an ignorant person. Some people might even argue that I am in fact quite ignorant.
As a Catholic would prefer to never deny Christ even if cost me my life, so the idea of losing my life for learning isn't so far fetched, but neither is it as horrific to me as it might seem to others. I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees.
Anyway, there is happily no threat to my life that is caused by my desire to learn, at least not at the moment.
There's a time in a man's life when he stops learning
