People who bear student debt are part of “the indentured educated class” and ought to work to repeal all truancy laws, for such laws criminalize the very essence of learning and growth: personal exploration and discovery. Most people have been inculcated to believe a lie proffered over and over again by the owners of their minds, the self-serving profiteers who control systems of “education” whether “public” or “private”: that school is healthy.
“Academic freedom” begins with the total dismantling of the academy. Academia should have no campuses, no classrooms, no walls real or imagined. The ivory tower should be destroyed and each brick laid horizontally, not vertically, one across from another in a mesh such that the very idea of knowledge domains as being inexorably interwoven with one another no longer needs the quaint modifier “interdisciplinary." There will be no "halls of learning” because every hall will be recognized as one where human beings of any age, carrying out their activities, are learning.
Then, and only then, will the concept of “University” be in any way worth legitimizing, for it may finally become what it is destined to be: a universe-city.
Stay smart. Drop out of school. Get an education.
