I kind of hate this image. Its like a way to discredit all the learning done in the formative elementary/high school years. If I would guess, 60-70% of everything I have learned was in high school and thats with me having several published papers.

To be fair, most of “all human knowledge” is stuff like when the last time was that each person on the planet pooped.

Nobody knows when I pooped last. It was some time today, but I don’t remember when, and no one else ever knew.

Right, but the image says it’s a small part of all of human knowledge.
