7. I'll bet there's a massive headache to go with it though
Sure I'd do it if such a thing were possible, but I cannot imagine it. I got a 4 year degree and cannot recall most of what I learned then, so I imagine if I crammed it all down in one day, I'd be even less likely to remember anything. That is always the problem with cramming, you cram the material into short-term memory. Part of how the brain functions is by establishing pathways, just like roads. The more they are used, the stronger the connections become. If you establish a billion pathways in one day but then never use them again, they will vanish.

It's fun to think about, but in reality, there is no easy way.
