[T.B. Yoits]

School was intended to make a better “you”...

Quite a long time ago, that intention changed to make a better worker.

I never tried to please those kind of guys. My own interests paid my way. I had fun and paid the bills. Even though retired I still "do my thing". I design electronic gizmos with microcontrollers in them and then write the software for them. I'm entertained and it pays well.

I was mostly self-employed. Those time I worked for someone else were not among the happy times. Large corporations are the very worst. I avoided those entirely.

Copilot AI:

Fake Rockefeller quote — There is no historical record, speech transcript, letter, or biography that contains the line “I don’t want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers.”
Researchers have traced it to modern internet conspiracy circles, not to Rockefeller.

Misleading education claim — Rockefeller did not “create” or “found” the U.S. general education system. Public schooling existed long before him. He did fund the General Education Board (1902), but its purpose was to expand access to schooling, not to suppress critical thinking.

Fabricated aphorism — This line also has no documented source. It appears in motivational quote websites with no citations.
