However, the more educated one gets, the easier it is to be detached from less important things... but one may need more things to do more educated work. Then one must distinguish between good teachers and Sophists to not learn more than is usable. Hopefully that gives more of a chance for all of society to increase in education. There is only so much one can learn in a lifetime, but the process should continue for those who remain.
