I believe what he knows. I know that I'm powerless to stop it. I'm just riding it out.

I think it's possible if the right people are in charge. We need people in positions of power who value education not just for themselves but for everyone. Unfortunately, ruling classes tend to like keeping a large portion of their population dumb, which is great for having a large pool of laborers who won't challenge the status quo, but it blunts the critical thinking skills needed for rational decision making.
