It is anything but meaningless. The education system has ruined many a bright young mind. Way back in 1922 Upton Sinclair wrote a book called The Goose Step: A Study of American Education, in which he said:
“Our educational system is not a public service, but an instrument of special privilege; its purpose is not to further the welfare of mankind, but merely to keep America capitalist."

I don't think it's meaningless. I think it means that he was born intelligent but like a creative intelligence and in school where he got his education he lost his creativity.

I think it's brilliant. It just goes to show that we are taught to know. Yet we all possess intelligence.
