> When someone else rules over you, you aren't free.

That is the case in today's so called democracies. Just because you pick your ruler doesn't mean you have any say in the fate of society.

TouchyJoe··on Feds say Yale discriminates against Asian, white applicants
Creating employees is not the primary goal of education. The goal is to create thinking individuals. We can't allow the education system to only serve the interests of the business community. It's clear that they limit education to the least amount of people, because an educated citizenry is very difficult to rule. Ignorance is being weaponized in a class war and education for all would take away that weapon.

The more people are educated the more likely or numerous the emergence of people like Einstein or newton. The more people are educated the more democratic society will be and the free-er we all will be. If a large part of society does not understand what's going on around the world then they have to take everything for granted that they have been told by tptb.

TouchyJoe··on YouTube TV sharply increases monthly subscription to $64.99
I prefer them asking for money upfront instead of selling ads and becoming controlled by the people who pay for those ads.
TouchyJoe··on EFF and heavyweight legal team will defend Internet Archive against publishers
Why is knowledge artificially limited by all these paywalls and people holding literature and books hostage to their financial interest? What is better a world where a poor kid can read any book ever published or a world where you can only read the books that you can afford. Most technical books are expensive.
TouchyJoe··on EFF and heavyweight legal team will defend Internet Archive against publishers
I sympathize with the desire of average joes to take down footage of their smelling hair and rubbing people the wrong way. We need the internet archive.org. Some of the best website are only to be found there.
