Do you realise that not all people are smart, and for those who aren't - this is the way to go.

Is it tho? And even if it is, why is the system setup for them and not me? But I’m also not convinced that this is the way to go even for “not smart” people. But to some extent I also believe that he idea of being smart or not is given too much emphasis. Like if you go at your own pace, you’ll get there when you get there. A guide pushing you and telling you to go faster isn’t going to help you.

There are many more of "them" than you.

They need their bread and circuses, otherwise, they will come pillage your property.

Going by your reasoning, there are many more people without property than ones with, why bother protecting property rights at all?

That's "most people" fallacy you are showing all over the thread.

[gm-conspiracy]

I didn't say they didn't have any property, they just want yours, too.

Also, if there were a large group with nothing to lose, you would not need any protection of your property?

By that reasoning, society would have protections in place to prevent against theft and robbery.

So if we change school, "most people" would have nothing to lose and pillage my property?

You're actually making so little sense with your smart cynicist mask so that I'm giving up on you.
