You'll never be a writer but you still learned how to write (if somewhat poorly).

Academia is completely captured by capitalism. That's why "scientists" can't/won't/don't go after their masters. How can people oppose genocide when they're working to build the weapons of genocide? And a society that accepts genocide will accept anything.

Should add a sentence to top panel that says "they should teach useful things in school like how to do your taxes!"

spoiler alert: that's just reading and basic math applied to something besides a test for a grade.

Wouldn't a better thing to teach be innovating upon technology and social structure, such that we no longer even need taxes? Nor any other rents designed to keep us down and impoverished. Imagine where we'd be now if not for the suppression of all the emancipatory technologies. All those patents being sat on, or secreted[1]. All those inventors usurped or disappeared. We have so much more headroom.

If education were not so corrupted and riddled with nonsense and slave conditioning, perhaps there'd be fewer rejecting it; fewer throwing the baby out with the bathwater. We can all be polymaths in the making, not slaves in training.


[1: According to patent office whistle blower Tom Valone, (iirc) there were already over 3000 free energy device patents secreted by the year 2000. Seriously. We have so much headroom without the corruption. Even the rich parasites would be better off, with the release and proliferation of the emancipatory technologies. ...Buuuuuut, that's not in most people's world view to which they're attached, and so, they tend to go on attack upon encountering mention of such, as if this new information is a threat to their life.]

Total sidetrack and total missing the point.

I didn't say "taxes are good" or "current education is good".

The problem I posed is that knowledge transfer is an essential skill and people who are bad at it are--I would suppose--both oblivious to it and easier to take advantage of.

Edit: TBH your comment is so whacky and on your own terms I didn't even read to the end section. It's not even left field, it's 2 counties over.

Edit 2: Now I read it in full and, bro, that's a bunch of potentially well meaning conspiratorial retardation. Just no.

You are unfortunately, literally pictured in the OP meme with a veneer of "I'm 14 and this is deep".
