/lit/ - Literature

Whats all this racket? It is a well known fact that schools are not for learning anything other than the social conventions that will allow you to use the knowledge that you acquire on your own, outside schools. They also provide the material, or rather monopolize it, but that is changing with internet.

If you remain at school you wont be truly able to use anything you 'learn' cause you will be unconsciously formatted to remain within its academic limits; you will just be able to publish under your name what is accepted by all. If you drop out and continue on your own you will be able to assimilate everything practically wthout restrictions but, being outside from academia, wont be able to use it socially in any relevant way, unless you live in an extreme situation of social transition where people would be forced to listen to those who lie outside recognized social institutions.

you cant have it all: you either live safe within social limits and leave all fundamental questions unanswered or you drop it all and let your mind lead you into the unknown and then see what happens (it will certainly solve it, the same way it solved language learning after birth).
