And by all means educate yourself. Go to school. And just when you feel you have a good grasp on the world, on society and the mechanisms of control, guess what? You’re IN IT! And you owe thirty grand. Or fifty. Or ninety. And then you’re caught. You’re a part of it. You get two approved options.

Option A: buy into it with your very soul. Get a mindless, soul-sucking job and slowly over the years pay the bastard back. Get used to needing more money than that which you would normally need for survival alone. If you manage to pay back that loan you have to play ball - get on with some big corporation and guess what? They got you, baby. Get used to paying back those loans, cuz you’re gonna need a car, right? If you’re serious about paying back that loan, you’re gonna need another one. By the time you pay back that loan you’ve spent five years in the corporate system and would never again dream of a life outside of it. The only way you can pay one of these bastards off is to be a part of the system. Even though you have a great mind, they got you. So long, rebel. Rest in peace, imagination. Welcome to the new opiate: job and t.v. until you die.

Option B: Don’t pay the cock-sucker. Not even once. Let them fire their nasty letters to you and yours. Flee to Mexico. But they still got you. Interest piles up. You’re in debt. To them. They own your ass whether you like it or not. Tough to mount a resistance when you’re a dead-beat who will never again be out of debt. They got you.

That’s the price of the pursuit of knowledge. By all means, get educated. It too remains a mechanism of control.
