It recently occurred to me that a primary benefit of real education, be it self-education or within a school or university, is exposure to multiple sources of history, science, and other topics, and the requirement that the credibility of each be examined. People without this experience are limited to knowing what is placed in front of their faces on television, in movies, and the like. They have no practice in seeking out information. And they often lack innate curiosity, urging them to seek out new material. They settle for what is incoming. Nothing is outgoing.
