When you know what you know is not enough, and you have no idea how to go beyond.

I remember meeting people denied the opportunity for higher education, yet obsessively grappling for the chance to learn, or know more.They

When education or knowledge is practically a birth right you question whether the reliability of the measure of meritocracy, because it tells you that some people are more deserving than others. When society is the only manner for social mobility it becomes the beginning of the rat race, and thus only the deserving get to learn, not the keen. the utilitarian aspect of democracy and the pain of being an individual in a society that doesn't care for you.

Or what about the people who, don't fit into your capitalist society? People who cannot contribute, mentally or physically incapable.

The manic depressive with psychotic episodes is cast aside because he/she cannot pay the bills, earn his/her keep to live on the land God gave to every free man. They would live in institutions that tell them to get better, go work, because your family is paying for you to rest. I am not resting, he said, I can't help the way I am. Why does society tell me how to be? What is society? A group of humans? Why am I not considered human too. How are you more valuable a member than I am? Why are people defined by their earning capacities.

goobai brain dump over.
