Hi, MJA.
The sub-text relating to freedom and education caught my attention.
No doubt, in the world as we find it, education is essential. However, it is a fundamentally flawed system (like all man-made systems).
Education is the dissection of knowledge (specialization). It encourages selfishness/self-interest, is stifling and stereotyping, a source of conformity and complacency.
So many Lecturers are ernormously egotistical creatures who seldom applaud orginal thinking: their method is to have you think what they want you to think, but to have you think you came up with it: "jumping through hoops." In order the receive The Reward, we comply rather than question. If we, unfettered by the burden of life, are at our MOST creative before the age of 25, then how much orginal thought is killed off, never to be fully formed?
It is necessary to go BEYOND education. Education is liberating only in the extent to which it kindles the spark to CONTINUE learning.
"The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self..." Einstein
