Finals are almost done. Of course, I'm relieved about that. While they are important for the future and in the least, gives me something productive to do, I'm afraid it's not really that exciting.
Of course, it's been ingrained in most everyone that schooling is important, a key to success in the future, et cetera. What they fail to communicate is how utterly boring and dumbing it could actually be. You find yourself used to order, curriculum, predictability. School is creatively stifling. It conditions you that all you need is memorization and mimicry. Do you know that what you learn in school constitutes about thirty or so percent of what you need in order to succeed in the so-called real world? The real statistics escape me at the moment, but it's true. Interestingly enough, we also don't use maximum brain power to function.
What does that have to say about the real human potential?
What does that say about what I can do beyond theory and simulation?
I have never let my schooling get in the way of my education. ~Mark Twain
