Great post.
I've said for years.....
Back in the wild west, the small town arranged for a "school mam" to bring knowledge (books) and teach their kids.
ie kids go to a central place to learn, because that is where the "knowledge" is.

This is no longer true. Knowledge is in your palm.
The central location is a money trap for kids to fund "institutions" & the 'owners' whilst volunteering to be debt slaves.
