Why are adults so fearful of self-actualizing self-learning? When I mention it everyone seems to run away and hide. Has our educatioal system instilled this great fear of self-reliance?

our society today fears knowlege. Learning means work for some, and in this day of self-gratification and ignorance, work means unplesantness to most people. Most people find school to be tough and useless to them because they do not value knowlege or education or have had unplesant experiences in school. Before people will start self education society (the majority) must value education. Sadly, thats the way our society works, people follow others instead of thinking for themselves.
