I'm kinda curious if y'all have opinions even tangential to this. It seems like there used to be pride in being an autodidact, while now any education outside of the standard channels is considered illegitimate or "posing."

Seems like Euro settler-colonialism in the States has rejected intellectualism from inception and autodidacts were the exception, not the rule.
Also “official” education is propaganda in service of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and a focus of it is to legitimize itself while delegitimizing counter-narratives.
That was my suspicion I was just hoping it wasn't true :(
