    i thought for years that it’s not good if people seek too much education, because ultimately abstract thoughts are a burden to most people. some people can deal fine with it, but to most it blocks the natural flow of emotion and life, thus kinda crippling the individual psychologically.

    it’s only become a craze in the 1970s that everybody has to go study and seek a diploma, because then started the era of office jobs and company owners wanted to have a larger pool of available white-collar workers available so if there’s more supply in workers in a specific field, the prices for that labor (wages) can diminish, and companies run more efficiently.

    I also think that the instruction to “think critically” is bad in a similar sense: it’s unnatural and does more harm than good. unfortunately, it’s become an ideology strong enough to persevere anyways, and there should be less of it. i think people should listen more to their feelings.
