“’Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel’... Socrates”
Not sure how this is relevant. After all, who gets their flame kindled more often, and who has more time to feed their flame, poor or rich people?
Education nowadays, generally falls into the "filling of a vessel" catagory... It's really indoctrination.
The smartest people I've ever met never attended college.
As for "rich" the word doesn't necessarily mean money.
A person may be rich in good health, for instance.
Or, as you mentioned, some may enjoy greater freedom and time to learn with out the care that money often brings.
Anyway, thanks for your insightful post.
