You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.
You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting.
(Tom: This matches my experiences in life. I have done a lot of formal courses but always with the purpose of, “How do I apply this data” rather than “How do I remember it so I can pass an exam.”
And I have done a lot of self-directed learning with the purpose of learning, sharing and applying the data.)
