No matter how 'institutionalised' some self-claimed intellectuals would want to make students believe they are, 'papers and qualifications are an outward sign that a person has put God-given talents to some purpose'. Don't let anyone tell you that school will make you a fool or make you think in a certain prescribed way. Yes you will be an educated fool and think in a prescribed way if you solely rely on whatever little education you getting without actively seeking out more information that is deliberately omitted out in institutional education system. The government only wants you to know what it wants you to know, educate yourself and know what you need to know.

Beat the system at its own game if you are smart.
