Completely agree with you, although I think it is more about the personal desire to learn than education in itself.

If you don't have the personal desire to learn in the first place, then I doubt that education can genuinely "teach" you this.

Where does this desire come from? It comes from within, so it can't be "taught" to most people who are unreceptive in the first place.

During my life of 27 years, I have met only a few other individuals with the same eagerness for self growth as I have, and hundreds of people who have no interest or concept of what self growth even means and dozens of additional people who are somewhere in between and use their social skills to manipulate other people instead of manipulating themselves to be better people.

Funny, funny world we live in!
