First accept that the reason you didn't learn in public school wasn't that the material wasn't there, but that you were edgy and arrogant. If you would've cared and gone beyond what was expected of you you would've learned at least something.

Blaming others IS how you make it. If you blame yourself for everything then you turn into a nervous wreck that will eventually be a mentally handicapped benzo addict.

He had a perfect life. Perfect mind. Yet because he had no struggle, he produced garbage. Suffering, struggle and a lack of opportunity are what create characters. Life of ease is what creates NPCs.

It's called integrity. Any luck you get bluffing is simply that and you live your life in constant fear of being found out.

A better question is whether or not you can become more educated than you currently are, and the answer is not only yes, but extremely easily, given your presumed access to the internet.

fpbp my friends irl remark that I seem to have quite broad knowledge and think it must be from attending a good school, it’s because I was interested in culture and learning in my freetime. However his parents should have encouraged him, parents play an extremely important role in intellectual development
>>15168848
Don’t blame schooling for your past laziness though your parents should’ve done better, BUT yes you can make up for it anon, you’ll enjoy learning if you’re intelligent. Read some history and science books as well as basic classic literature to start off.

If you care, you'll try. If you don't, you won't.

Can't say whether your parents or the school system determines how much of a shit you give
