I didn’t graduate from high school, and I completely disagree with you.
I learned more math as a teenager than most people ever do, learned two languages to fluency in my 20s, both in very different language families from my native one, and got into a nice software career in my 30s, first in Beijing and then in SF.
Why exactly am I “inferior”? Just because I didn’t choose to pursue the piece of paper that your world view dictates?
