no, he would have preferred to learn things that fleshed out his awareness of the real world. the real world exists and is to be discovered. the artificial world has to be "built" around you because it does not exist. its an illusion, and must be built around you to contain you in it. something that already exists, is discovered. something that does not exist, is constructed. and the artificial world has to be constructed. you're told the bricks exist, therefore you believe they exist. do you understand?

i'll summarize it basically by saying, he realized he was being being groomed... to be led.

he was taught that certain things should be important in his life, but those things are.. control devices. he was taught that these control devices are important, and he was taught this in the traditional fashion everyone is taught this. "these things are important, and serving them, will make you important. and of course, it's important.. to be important".
he lived just to serve them as he was taught that serving them would give him importance and purpose. when in reality, it gives you neither. its just a distraction. a sphere you've allowed to be created around you. and when you transcend your sphere, you realize the entire sphere... was pointless.
