Contrast of book learning and experience learning.
When I was young I watched the German and Japanese militarists almost take over the world. I was outraged and I read in books and writings like the Communist Manifesto how everything bad was the fault of the capitalists. This was my bookish education.
In real life I encountered the "educational instruments" of the Communists. These are manacles(for keeping the hands tied together behind the back for weeks and months) and chains (for simultaneously chaining the legs together, the chains wearing into the flesh, as did the manacles. This gave me the real education, the true facts of life. Fascists and Communists are both evil. What's good? Doing good. How can you do lots of good?
By becoming a philanthropist. How do you get such money? By studying the remarks of people who know their subject in a practical way, people like Tobago Jack, Elmat, Energyplay etc.

Culture is what you get after you forgot everything they taught at school.
I understand your meaning but cannot concur ... if your eyes are open at that time it is a blessing... if they are open..
