@Revixus @explicus “Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.”

Any Age of Enlightenment, 1600s—1700’s or 2000s—2100’s, would be a call for the emphasis on reason and the challenge to authority, and for more support for emerging nationalism and compulsory school attendance. So have the Age of AI produce its philosophers: the college dropouts.

Elon Musk just put the entire university system on trial.

Not the curriculum. Not the professors. The premise.

Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”

For a thousand years, universities held one monopoly. Access. You paid the toll or you stayed ignorant.

The internet erased that in a decade.

Every lecture. Every framework. Every textbook. Free. From any screen on Earth.

The six-figure tuition is no longer buying knowledge. It is buying a signal.

Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”

That is the product. Not intelligence. Not creativity. Not vision. Compliance.

You are paying $200,000 to prove you can tolerate bureaucracy on a schedule.

Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”

The entire system is a sorting machine for corporate HR. It does not measure what you can build. It measures whether you can sit still, follow directions, and deliver on command.

Four years of obedience dressed as education.

Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”

The system optimizes for average. It rewards the compliant. It certifies the patient. It quietly filters out everyone who refuses to wait for permission.

The ones who reshaped the modern world never finished the test.

Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”

They did not drop out because it was too hard. They dropped out because the speed limit was too low.

The most dangerous thing a university does is convince a generational talent that finishing the syllabus is the achievement.

It is not. It is the floor.

A degree is a receipt for compliance. The future has never belonged to people who finish their homework. It belongs to the ones who never needed the assignment.

@Revixus @jack Did P. Harry or @jack know it was the FBI all along?

[GRANDPA’s FREE ADVICE @GOP_is_Gutless]

BOMBSHELL:
Newly released FBI documents from @FBIDirectorKash just CONFIRMED it.

The FBI had 274 federal agents embedded at the January 6 proceedings.

They were infiltrating chat rooms months in advance, pushing for violence and occupation of the Capitol.

The DNC planned to “provoke a breakdown on January 6” to stop the vote certification if Trump won.

Rep. @RepClayHiggins is VINDICATED: “Christopher Wray had over 200 agents embedded, dressed as Trump supporters… The messages pushing violence were led by FBI infiltrators. Their involvement was deep — not just on J6, but in the days, weeks, and months prior.”

The FBI didn’t just respond to January 6.

They helped create it.

The truth is coming out.

What do you think? 👇
