Overblown Education

  The question arose in my mind wither there is such a thing as an over-educated mind. After much thought I have come to the conclusion that under certain individual conditions the answer is yes! You might at first glance say to yourself how could there be such a thing, as knowing or learning to much and what or where is this ceiling? The accumulation of knowledge does not afford us the luxury of knowing such a limit or ceiling.
   But what I did discover was two features, distinct and apposing characters of our human nature that may act on our knowledge so as to make it appear as either delinquent or excessive. Those features are; one the certainty of our subjective ego and two the objective humility of the mind.
   The humility of the mind when looking at data points or in various areas of research is that things appear in a certain way as conclusion, but provides us with a certain element of doubt, where the ego tells us it is a certain way of fact.
   In America we have many people well educated as apposed to rank and file citizens these people have a need to provide themselves and families a living and they do so by using their education for the betterment of overall society with their research and the collection of data points for studies. The problem is there are so many of them society has no practical way of supporting them all. So what we did was have government provide them with an income at the cost of the general public w/ grants, because business arena alone could not afford them all.
   Now that they for the most part work for government or big business they have to produce result to stay employed, that’s when the ego of human nature enters the conclusions of their research and humility takes a back seat.
   Statistics, probability, polls or consensus does not represent evidence of truth of fact. So when we apply, these pseudo conclusion of fact in to law or business it is the result of over education by ego and is counter productive to the advancement of our society.
