The depth of the rabbit hole... I think the most important thing someone can learn in today's culture is, don't get comfortable. I heard it repeated over and over again in my university classes from teacher's who were still using monochrome apple computers, "The only thing that is consistent in today's world, is change itself." My favorite professor said it this way, "You can never step in the same river twice" So I kind of listened, but not really. Stepping out of the college world and into the real world, if that's what we're still calling it, was like stepping out of a quiet garden, and stepping into Interstate 10 during rush hour. Wow! I used to struggle with staying awake in school. Now that I'm out, I struggle with figuring out how to go to sleep. Job opportunities, and health insurance, and financial security. Craziness. I didn't learn about that stuff in school. But I do have to admit it's worth it all.
I think for maybe 5 seconds one night I wished I was back in school. Then I remembered that I can drink out of the milk carton b/c it was my milk carton and no one else's. Then I went and actually filled up my SUV with gas instead of just putting $1.25 in it b/c now I had a job that actually paid. I'm not sure where I'm headed in this blog and what I'm going to talk about. I'm sure I'll share personal stuff, and work stuff, and God stuff, but I learn every day that the rabbit hole always gets deeper with me.

Stepping from HS to college was huge for me. I sensed an air of respect for the person and freedom of schedule that I loved. After college was even more wonderful. Like you said, I wouldn't go back especially to high school, as a student anyway. Responsibility, sure, but the freedom to make my own decisions, crash or succeed, was thriving ground for me.

Yeah, crash our succeed... I like that. Cheesey movie quote, "Why is it that we fall Mr. Bruce? So that we can learn to pick ourselves back up." Batman Begins

What about motive being another difference between genius and insanity?

I agree. The same thing happened to my perspective of my parents. It's amazing the sacrifice they made for me. Every day I realize even more how true that is.
