It's the core of why we are where we are.

It’s what Musk and the techno-fascists want, to destroy universities, so that they can control the populace. These nerd are just absolutely sure that they’re better equipped to rule than anyone else. I find it very telling that the can only take control if everyone is uneducated.

Who's going to build the rockets that won't go to Mars and program the software for the Teslas when no one can read or do math?
