A significant portion of people who go to university go to get laid/meet friends/contacts. Once you're out in the real world making friends becomes incredibly difficult and university is essentially the last stop before you fuck up your life completely. I didn't go to uni and I regret it even though I know it wouldn't have helped in my career but at least I wouldn't be a literal virgin with no friends. Not everyone wants to or can be a rebel, artist, etc. Some people just want a simple life with a few real friends, a healthy romantic relationship and a decent job that pays decent money.

>oh wow, "ludwig wittgenstein's tractatus logico philosophicus", sounds like a hard book! You must be very smart

>Oh, hi Anon. You sure love buying books. I never heard of this one before, whats it about? :)
