Maybe I'm reading this wrong, as my brain is a bit stale today... But the article is suggesting that educating too much of the population will lead to a revolt... Now, maybe it's just me, but I'm of the opinion that if education leads to a full-scale revolution, then it means the government was #(*%&ed to begin with. More education in the US might lead to a political shift, but not to a revolution, because our government is designed to constantly change (Though in practice, it stays the same because the people are too easily manipulated into agreeing with whoever has the biggest microphone).
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

I can see that being the case in repressed countries where religious dogma rules at the expense of human rights and dignities.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)I was going to reply with several points, but then realized the article wasn't really pushing for revolt, but rather backhandedly saying spending money on things worth while with tax dollars is bad. Free market is good and having too many educated people is bad because of free market blah blah blah.

Feeling depressed about the state of the country? Too many people believe in their own set of facts or aren't interested in facts because its not some mind numbing reality TV show. But anyway I'm beginning to rant. Maybe if unemployment was around 25% or something like in middle eastern countries revolution would happen here.

Three elements or, if you like, three fundamental principles constitute the essential conditions of all human development, collective or individual, in history: (1) human animality, (2) thought; and (3) rebellion.
