This take horrifies me. Furthering personal knowledge is not even in the same class as driving money on machines calculating random hashes for the sole purpose of proving they are calculating random hashes. I believe strongly in the power of education, an educated populace that is able to deeply hone it's craft and practice it's interest is the path to prosperity. I recoil at the kind of outlook you need to have to believe what this post seems to believe.
