Something that is learned as long as the person still has a brain after learning the lesson.
They tied the guy to the tracks to teach him a lesson, but it was going to impossible for him to remember what lesson he just learned with no head.

They assassinated her husband to teach him a lesson, but they forgot to leave his brain intact to make the lesson stick when they shot him in the temple, making the lesson both as pointless and useless as a brain with a bullet lodged in it. Had they shot him in the face, he might have learned at least part of the lesson, and got his picture all over rotten.com in the process.

It (largely) seems to be the case that this has become more about teaching me a lesson that I will never learn than it is about anything else.

Hym "I just want want to point something out (as tactless as I am) because you seem to miss the point of the lesson I was trying to teach. If what you are actively doing was the difference between me doing a thing and me not doing a thing, you, your friends, the people who like you, the people who hate you would just keep doing it. Indefinitely. And, when the deed was done, would you look and them and say 'Why? Why didn't you stop?' Would you ask yourself if it WASN'T you?
You have this 'I can do whatever I want because I am free mentally' that you are not affording me and it is more important to you than human life. Because you won't ever care if it isn't you. It would happen to somebody else and you won't even connect the dots. And it stems from you all not being able to accept that you are not the lesson teacher here. Even your moral paragons are fraudulent and you proport to be teaching a moral less? And what's the lesson? If you even threaten to do something bad I will make your life so miserable that you will no longer have any reason not to do the thing you said you would do? Is that the lesson? 'But you can't...' I did motherfucker. Several times. And my punishment is 'well now we can do whatever we want to you.' but you were already doing that. None of this effected people doing whatever they wanted to me. You're just taking everything else off the table so that now I have nothing better to do. And you say 'Well you could...' No. Motherfucker. I'm telling you 'No.' I'll take time served. I'll take credit for the shit I've done and I'll take payment for services rendered. The longer you carry on with this 'I can fear him into not doing something that I'm not lifting a finger to stop.' The worse this ends up being because your IQ is low. Your thought leaders are telling you that you can't think. I'm trying to find your reasoning and I can't see it. You need to let it go."

A pretentious and usually insulting or moralizing way for self-absorbed, pseudointellectual people to say "an example to live by."
That douchebag professor just flunked me for plagerizing my paper. He said "Let your failure be an object lesson for your future efforts to decieve."
