Do you think your education is just your own performance?

Imagine you are born in very poor conditions in a very poor country. would you individually be to blame for a lack of knowledge? And please don't tell me bullshit about "selfmade men" "American dream" and "pursuit of happiness" i don't believe in fairy tales.

What do you mean 'imagine'? I was born in very poor conditions and I still am in very poor conditions, not to mention I completed my Bachelor's degree all on my own, without anyone's help, in poor conditions.
It has been the hardest fight of my life.

If you are extremely poor, you barely have (or not) money to pay for a library. You can educate yourself from a public library only so much, so the blame would really be on the system, being poor as it is. The blame would be on poor government to properly distribute sources and find enough sources to prosper.
