In 2022, 31-year-old Maggie Perkins quit her eight-year teaching job and got a job at Costco. She doesn’t regret the decision, and she’s never been happier. Here’s a look at a day in the life working at Costco.
Uneducated people overthrow governments. Educated people involve themselves so they make a better, longer lasting, more stable and effective government in the long run.
There’s this consistent delusion that if we just burn everything down and start anew that this time it will all work out for the best.
It hasn’t worked for the past two millenia, it’s not going to magically work now. All it does is give rise to new fascist states.
The French revolution is far from the most well-regarded outcome, & yet, I think it was preferable to no revolution, at the time… I agree that having a knowledgeable populace is essential to social stability.
Educated young people overthrow governments. You do the math.

The French Revolution led to Napoleon.
It was nice to get rid of one set of autocrats… but it just led directly into another. Its not like they traded up.
It did lead to one, but he didn’t last forever, & again, I think it’s pretty hard to argue they were better off before than after.
Castro was a lawyer as was Lenin. Che was a medical doctor.
But maybe educated young people will join the govt a well, and make it better, so that we will not want to overthrow the govt.
That’s why we’re seeing the rise of private schools and an increase in cost. The forces that be want only the “right” people to be properly educated.
