People that are good at school are generally good at making justifications for anything and everything.
That's great for anyone that wants yes-men/slaves, not for truly creative endeavors.
School teaches you to pursue approval, not truth. And that's toxic to the soul.

True.
The "education" system at least in The U.S. is a blatant indoctrination center to create obedient workers. It beats out all the independent thought through punishment. It only wants regurgitation of information, not critical thought.
Anti authoritarian I had hell of a time getting through school
The peer review process works the same way. I had a novel computational approach to solving a certain class of problems for my dissertation that enabled these problems to be solved in the real world, but with a trade-off that the solutions weren't optimal. Getting papers accepted by the gate keepers was a challenge to say the least and I knew every question while presenting papers at conferences before being asked. Got out asap.
“i never let schooling interfere with my education” mark twain
That is only largely true due to the influx of far left liberal ideology taking precedence over Math Science and primarily Computer Programming also @Ivan is a faggot
This one hits deep for me. I appreciate that I grew up in a place with great public schools but it was hard not to feel like we were getting systematically dulled instead of sharpened.
People who don't care for seeking truth are repugnant
