The ultimate refutation to public education(daycare). Some people are born curious and they have always sought knowledge no matter the cost. https://twitter.com/Mangan150/status/884558805073223681 …

The ultimate refutation? That one guy 200 years ago, in a massively different country and economy, didn't need formal lawyer training?

Young Lincoln would work hard in the fields to get a new book. No diversity programs or helicopter parents encouraging him. Lesson there.

Diligence and curiosity might have once been enough. Today, these are virtuous, but you generally need resources to make anything of them.

W/out talent, diligence, curiosity more resources useless. Public daycare takes 12 yrs to teach basic literacy better than 19th century?

12 years isn't so bad. Compared to the 19th century, the population itself is vastly more literate and educated, in general.

Fewer educated people in 19th century but better talent got education, knowing Latin, ancient Greek considered normal. Quality over quantity

Fewer people got an education, and the education they received was poorer. You have a very odd perception of quality.

Compare 19th century popular literature, music, rhetoric to now, what impression do you get? And keep in mind 1/4 of US have 16 yrs of edu.

1800s music, literature and rhetoric tend to be stuffier. If you have a point besides that, it's unclear.

I dunno is Gettysburg address stuffy? It's just a couple hundred words and formulates philosophy of modern secular state with direct imagery
