so what did you do instead? and can that be replicated by 100,000 other young people?

Theoretically, it can be replicated. The tools that I have used to learn everything are accessible to most of the people I have met. But, whatever may be the reasons, it just doesn't happen.

"Can be replicated as in "anyone can do it" or as in "everyone can do it"?

I love that the English language has two words ("anyone" and "everyone") that seem to be similar, but which in fact lead to vastly different scenarios.

Too many "solutions" people give for societal problems are of the "anyone" kind.

I am very curious what are these tools you talk about? I am often asked by students at my old high school about what they can do if they dont want to study for JEE and I havent really been able to come up with a satisfactory answer.
