Generic Question: Where can I learn hacking? Since this is such a generic question, there are millions of generic answers. I mean where can I really LEARN, and become great?

In IT school.
It's like asking what's the best way to plan a crime. Well it depends what you want to do but the short answer is you should learn everything there is to be learned about the subject. Knowing how it works will help you come up with the way to break it.
There isn't a single course or website to anything for real. That's just not how the world works. You get websites like khan academic, rosetta stone for languages, youtube tutorials etc, but it's all really basic. If you want to really know something you have to look for the pieces of information you want yourself, where ever you think they might be. It's not hard because you're looking closely at something, finding a specific thing "google scholar, optimising vectors for ANN" is easier than getting something great from googling "herp derp how 2 hax".

I agree. It just feels like I'd walk away from Khan Academy (or some other shit like that) with a very weak understanding. It's one of those unskilled things

You might find something on the dark web forums / chans. Just make sure to use a good VPN like IPVanish and maybe tails OS in virtual machine. Also disable JavaScript. ( because hackers )

there seems to be a misunderstanding about what hacking is. its like asking how to be an 'inventor' or something. there isn't a direct line because its not this single activity.
hacking means exploiting the weaknesses in an existing program. the reason game mods are called 'hacks' is because its essentially the same thing. You've reverse engineered the programming, found parts of it you can exploit, and inserted your own code in to get a desired result. so hacking is essentially coding. if you don't know ANY programming languages, start there.
its just a TV trope that random teens are learning how to hack.
