D.H. Lawrence believed forced mass education past a certain level was evil. The world of ideas he thought was a particular talent some people had, and many didn’t. Forcing everybody to take on higher levels of education would only make the majority of people resentful of learning itself, as they suffered through years of schooling that made them feel humiliated, or gave them ideas they had no idea how to handle. Gotta wonder if the big populist, anti-elite movements we’re seeing today might be proving him right.
