Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.

Education... has produced a vast population able to read but

Summary

This quote suggests that while education has given many people the ability to read, it hasn't necessarily taught them how to critically evaluate and discern the value of what they read. As a result, people may consume vast amounts of information without being able to separate valuable or credible sources from those that are unreliable or lacking in substance. It highlights the importance of not just literacy, but also the development of critical thinking skills in education to enable individuals to make informed decisions and judgements about the content they encounter.
