One interesting thing about genius breakthroughs in many fields is they have often come from one trained in a different field. It's as if those encased in the tradition are blind to new possibilities. Cynically labelling this 'autodidact brain' risks the counterlabel 'foolish'. To be sure, Naomi Wolf is displaying a lack of several virtues in her particular case. But, for instance, polymaths do not become so by earning eight masters degrees, but by teaching themselves in eight fields. The connections they draw can often be very insightful.
Susannah you sound like you're being rather elitist and dismissive... Do you think indoctrination through education makes you or anyone else superior to others? Do you actually know how the world is controlled and run? Or do you just think you do?
Every religious text has been manipulated by the power structures of the time... Christ said "I am the way" as in the way to divine is within... No church or preachers will ever tell you that...
It seems that a number of "autodidact brains" have come out of the woodwork in response to this video.
Counterpoint: Autodidacts are in fact good!

What sort of trash is this? Word-expansion for "autodidact" yields "a self-taught person". And you're comparing learning with syphilis?
They went into some detail about the good and bad ways to be an autodidactic.
@@rscottr while sounding like elitists that have been rung through the indoctrination system...

what a clown car video. Bow to the authorities which tell you what is allowed to think and learn.
Dune 2!
Appealing to authority? LoL

Just a suggestion, but you should stay out of the secular world when it comes to what you call conspiracy theories. Stay in your lane.
Your "lane" is, apparently, the right to tell others what issues they may and may not engage with.

This is obvious nonsense
