Good read! I agree with most of your arguments (from a similar experience). I learned alot at university - but more due to my own interest. I was mever satisfied in my thirst for knowledge. Fulfilling stupid norms to fit into the system was so time consuming, there was mo time left to actually learn something that sticks.
I wish universities would be more of a place where knowledge seekers meet and not marketplaces of social standard.
Keep up the good work!
