I agree with Montaigne when he says that learning is knowledge is useless without understanding, and that is learning does not bring about a change in your life you are better off leaving it alone. That is not to say that I think that there should be a whole bunch of illiterate people wandering around. I think that if you are learning in order to feel superior than you are doing it for the wrong reasons. I feel that one should learn to better himself and others.
