Such was the insightful attitude of Viktor Schauberger, the man the Nazis forced to help build the Repulsine prototypical UFO. Like other famous inventors (Edison, Einstein, Wright Brothers), he didn't thrive in the collective body-warehouse environment cleverly euphemized as "school."
Brings to mind Rousseau's observation:
“Those whom nature destined to make her disciples have no need of
teachers. Bacon, Descartes, Newton — these tutors of the human race had
no need of tutors themselves, and what guides could have led them to
those places where their vast genius carried them? Ordinary teachers
could only have limited their understanding by confining it to their own
narrow capabilities."
