Is to much education bad for the Human evolution?

Question

I ask this question because I see it very often that high educated people can barely put a nail into a wall.
Mostly they need somebody to do it for them.
Also High educated people can rarely solve easy practical problems because it looks like they lost their common sense to find an easy answer.
People with high education can shine with their A levels, degrees and diplomas but are they really that smart?
Please explain your answer!

Answer 1

This is a real cool question!
I'm myself wondered if too much education is good for Human beings.
Well educated people are often depends their whole life on less educated people.
I think less theoretical education and more practical education would be much better for the common sense and the human evolution.
The trouble is that you study all this stuff in the book and what the teacher tells you and you just accept it at the end without even to think about it that some of this could be wrong.
Education is manipulation of the Human mind.
It makes you think in a certain way about things.
If you suddenly have a problem which can’t be solved with your way of thinking than you just simply stop to think.
You just need somebody else with less education to solve the problem.
Once the problem is solved you think to yourself.
“I could have done that myself”
So why didn’t you?

Answer 2

I think, taking a well-known (and very shrewed) sentence ("I never let schooling interfere with my education") that you mean schooling.
Education is good. Too much schooling... I don't think so.

I mean, education gives people enough knowledge for scientific advancements. And I think those who really propel things forward, scientifically, are not limited to one field of expertise - there are, of course, the crazy professor types, but most of the people who get on are those who have a great variety of knowledge and skills, and the wisdom to use patterns across subjects. I.e., they do know how to change a light bulb. Probably even how to go a good way towards building a house too.

Now, A-grade academics, on the other hand, have their uses (some of them can teach, and that is no mean trick), that is, pass the knowledge down to others, who may perhaps use it. But schooling per se is nothing to be sooo very happy about; it's what you do with it that matters. IMHO.

Answer 3

Well a highly educated invidual focuses more on the mental aspect of things (solving that 4 dimensional matrix ecuation :P) than on the physical side (hammering the nail).

Answer 4

hammering a nail into a wall is a physical thing intelligent people can not afford to waste thier time over that .and you say they can not solve simple problems coz they don't have to waste time over once already solved problems so they try new ones which are of different track

Answer 5

Being well educated does not make you smart.

The thirst for knowledge starves the will to succeed.

Answer 6

whether one wants to or not,life always educates.
formal certificate of diploma(or degree) is required more to tell rest of the world that one is highly educated.

Answer 7

EVOLUTION IS A GENETIC ^MECHANISM^ GOES FURTHER AND NOT BOTHERED ABOUT THE ORGANS HABIT (EDUCATION , DRUGS,WHETHER HE WASHES HIS BUTTOCKS OR WIPES....)
