Knowledge is power and they want the public to have none of it
Keep them just smart enough to work the machines, but too stupid to coordinate uprising.
~ George Carlin, paraphrased
Carlin calling out the machine spirites 40k years before we forget how to use machines.
For the emperor, I guess .
What's really insane is they don't even want the knowledge. They just want knowledge in any capacity to go away.
No, they want the knowledge but only for themselves, after all during the guilded age, the educated where the rich and the rest where ignorant so they couldn't push back and be controlled. PBS and NPR spread knowledge for the masses and THAT is what they want to stop
I don't think you've seen who's doing all the destruction. These people do not care about gaining knowledge.
There are idiots out there, but these idiots are manipulated by others who do have the power... And money
Agreed. Heritage Fund can suck it.
That's reasonable if they intend to hoard other sources of power
