I believe that what is being thought about here is this. As per a professor friend of mine: We are all born with a poets mind, all born geniuses and the crap that school fill your head up from very young kind of quashes that genius and creativity out of you. He gave the example of G.B. Vico, the historiographer, who cracked his head on some steps and thereby needed to be homeschooled (or maybe even taught himself) and therefore became one of the greatest intellectuals to postulate the beginnings of man, his institutions and his language.
