unlike first monolith in pre-history, the moon monolith didn't teach humanity anything. it's purpose was to send a strong radio frequency towards Jupiter, which would prompt humanity to travel there, at which point the 3rd monolith which orbits Jupiter would teleport the human/s through space and possibly time to the 'zoo' or whatever it was. then the 4th monolith transforms the human into a 'starchild' and sends them back to Earth. 2nd & 3rd monoliths direct/move people. 1st & 4th change them
I am just realizing how much impact this film had on me. 2001 was completed in 1968 and I was a junior in high school. I will never forget the first scene in which the apes/gorillas/monkeys/ancestors, etc (?) first experienced the monolith and then this scene depicting humanity reaching the moon for which a signal went out to the "makers" when sunlight first hit the monolith. Huge impact when I was a kid. Now I have 37 years of meditating. A lot has occurred since this film.
