For me, it was realizing that while I was smart, the shit level of schooling was more an impediment to me gaining the skills needed to continue excelling and I continue to be surrounded by absolute dipshits wherever I go.

In school, I didn't have to study to pass and there was no real incentive to learn how to. This bit me when it came to university because the lectures didn't cover everything that was to be tested on. Turns out, trying is a skill I never needed until then.

Then, in the workforce, I'm constantly exhausted dealing with people who are at best functionally literate and I have to cater to their understanding of literally everything. No desire to either understand the problem or fix the root cause, just make the thing do what they want right then.

school is kinda bullshit to be honest

The infuriating thing is that it doesn't have to be. It's been gutted, filleted, and various other words of a similar effect over the decades to the detriment of the entire populous

Did I write this last night in my sleep?

I just told this exact story to my oldest yesterday, almost verbatim. Freaky.
