In accordance with the latter I can establish my reasoning for the above post (looking at it as "Less wise" being the mundane analogy of Thinking but not Acting [which isn't thinking!], and "Wise" being those who take action.) that is, of course, just my opinion.
I don't agree with the thought about society's wormhole, so-to-say. I believe that School can be used to mold a person who lives by "the governments idealist system" as well as one who does not. Knowledge is power, and basic human instinct combined with common since acquired early in life forces humanity to expand and logically the easiest way to do that would be through schooling. You could say it plays a neutral part. Correct me if im wrong.

Would metaphysics in the local library?
It sounds like something I'd be interested in..
As for the second paragraph of your post.. I dont think you understood me because your basically saying what I said in a different way.. See schools give you the basics, you need to learn how to read and write early, you need to learn how to interact with people.. You need to learn problem solving skills, etc.. But as soon as you hit highschool it changes. School becomes more for qualification and to prep you for working life.. Thats where it can mold you either way, kids can either choose to go down the regular path that the "governments idealist system" (I'm using that term lightly remember) wants for you ot for a minority of people that are more creative or more street smart than book smart the most a school can do for you is art programs, either way, it still plays a big part in molding your character.. The only reason I graduated was because pretty much no one else in my family had done it and I set it as a goal..
Eternal knowledge is the key bro.. But did you know Einstein used to wag school to study on things he was more attuned to?
I see it as more of a benefit than a bad thing.
