Not to engage in the no true scotsman fallacy, but then by definition, your subjective experience was not the pursuit of the asinine. That doesn't mean other people's subjective experiences do not fall squarely within that realm.
Correct. Subjectivity is key--and thus, my point was regarding your second statement. My point is, while you may have dropped out because you thought going to school is a pursuit of the asinine (or parts of it maybe?), some of us didn't see it that way.
Which is why I used the word "much" rather than "all". I may be a ninth grade dropout, but I have been a prolific and voracious consumer of all things educational, sourced ridiculously large amounts of recorded lecture content online on even larger amounts of subjects in general. I know there's a lot of good information and a lot of that information comes from educational institutions, at the same time I know there is much pointless rote droning by people far more interested in a by the book approach than one that works.
