Knowledge and Wisdom

Even illiterate or semi-literate people had sea deep level of knowledge on account of their experience, inborn talent, deep non-academic studies and in some cases informally educated or uneducated people have proved better than formally or well-educated persons, but those were exceptions

There were people who were degree-holders and highly educated, but they proved failure and in some cases were parasites, but those were also exceptions

Uneducated but knowledgeable people could guide, educate, train and transmit their wisdom and experience to the educated young generations who had to take over from them and taking over was a natural process for which one should be voluntarily prepared and accept the hard facts of the life.
