i was thinking as i woke today about how knowledge is still kept from the average human in today's society. in many senses, ignorance has been institutionalized. there appears to be a great deal of profit to be made from the perpetuation of human ignorance.
education is supposed to be important. funding education doesn't seem to be as important.
even w/the consideration of education being important, it can be observed that most educational goals are shaped around career training. education as the accumulation of universal knowledge seems rarely encouraged & seldom valued.
what career options are made available to those who study universal knowledge? what social status is rendered to those who develop ideas that cannot necessarily be turned into some kind of commodity?
how valuable is knowledge of being? how dangerous is knowledge of the truth? how sure can a human be of the truth when finite perception is limited? w/o some comprehension of the truth of the universe, it is difficult to even consider such questions & their associated issues.
why do i even bother thinking about such things when their consideration does not help me feed or support self & family?
make like knowledge is even remotely finite...
PEACE
...be calm...
