You don't get it. I don't knock education. It's just the academia I  
dislike. Self-education is something I do all the time. I am  
constantly reading, learning, memorising, thinking. Grabbing new  
information and putting it together.

A mind like mine would have been seriously damaged by the academia.

Perhaps some people lack the interest to learn unless forced to.  
Others like me... self-learn.

You are connecting the concept of academia with education. I on the  
other hand know that education can be self-education, which is usually  
better, at least in my case :)

Honestly, I'd be even smarter today if I never went to any school at  
all, even as a kid. It's a load of rubbish. I estimate I'd be at least  
4 years ahead of where I am today.
