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."

I've never really seen this with the people i've worked with, outside of exceptions. Most people seem to pursue knowledge that interests them, especially if it doesn't have the initial hurdle of being full of "five-dollar words".
I guess the thing that struck me as odd is why do people not peruse their interests rigorously, and instead only have a passing interest in those things.
Lack of energy from (in my case) 50 to 60 hour work weeks, back to back, and no real way to apply interests unless they're skills based.
