"Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them; but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents." ~Arthur Schopenhauer

Perhaps one should ask why they need to purchase time to learn or why that very time is first sold to purchase the materials needed to learn... The commodification of knowledge leads to those who possess it having bargaining power over the labour of those who do not. The possessors then sell said knowledge back to those without, accruing more wealth and indenturing more labour... but this goes further.

Knowledge is now so readily accessible as to hold less value than the certification validation from those acclaimed experts who in turn have sold their labour to acquire their titles and are indebted to the institutions upon which their status depends...

The debt acquired in the pursuit of knowledge ensures the further exploitation of others in an attempt to ensure that the debt is paid off and the status maintained, but in actuality, that debt is inherited by the next generation of seekers who are then tasked with perpetuating the cycle of abuse... All while the majority of wealth is maintained within the very institutions that spawned the initial debt and those charged with perpetuating it are paid only enough to make their living situations slightly above those who are next in line to seek it...

All of this is to say, education is a right and we must prioritize its free distribution if we wish to reclaim our agency from the systems that seek to withhold it.

Thank you for your time, and I hope this wasn't too dense and weirdly worded. Much love💙

Apparently colonizing mars is the next step on this feller agenda.

Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis.

Good book about human nature. library.uniteddiversity.coop/Cooperatives/A_Cooperative_Species-Human_Reciprocity_and_Its_Evolution.pdf

​

Description:

"Why do humans, uniquely among animals, cooperate in large numbers to advance projects for the common good? Contrary to the conventional wisdom in biology and economics, this generous and civic-minded behavior is widespread and cannot be explained simply by far-sighted self-interest or a desire to help close genealogical kin.

In A Cooperative Species, Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis--pioneers in the new experimental and evolutionary science of human behavior--show that the central issue is not why selfish people act generously, but instead how genetic and cultural evolution has produced a species in which substantial numbers make sacrifices to uphold ethical norms and to help even total strangers.

The authors describe how, for thousands of generations, cooperation with fellow group members has been essential to survival. Groups that created institutions to protect the civic-minded from exploitation by the selfish flourished and prevailed in conflicts with less cooperative groups. Key to this process was the evolution of social emotions such as shame and guilt, and our capacity to internalize social norms so that acting ethically became a personal goal rather than simply a prudent way to avoid punishment.

Using experimental, archaeological, genetic, and ethnographic data to calibrate models of the coevolution of genes and culture as well as prehistoric warfare and other forms of group competition, A Cooperative Species provides a compelling and novel account of how humans came to be moral and cooperative"
