The speaker dismisses traditional educational paths, claiming they didn't even attend kindergarten. Instead, they emphasize the importance of self-education, recounting their diverse interests and degrees in fields like psychology, gunsmithing, metallurgy, and science. This emphasis on independent learning reflects a desire to break free from societal programming and explore knowledge on their own terms. They argue that education isn’t necessary to be intelligent and challenge the notion that formal schooling is essential for growth.
