Think back to what you read in grade school and high school. Pretty boring stuff right? But did it ever occur to anyone that maybe, just maybe that this was intentional? Especially when you compare what you read in class to what you could read elsewhere.
But what if this is intentional? A populace that does not read is not well learned. People who do not read are easier to manipulate and control among other things. And when one looks at the political landscape and the ease of which people are controlled in our world, it is easier to see why not only that this is the current strategy of the people who run the world, but also has always been a legitimate strategy to control us.
Think about it for a moment. Slaves were not allowed to read, and the printing press was heavily opposed by the ruling class. Knowledge is power, power that we are not supposed to have.
In today's world people believe that they are powerless to change the place we inhabit. And so long as they refuse to read, people will remain in this state, We may not be able to change the entire world today, but if we change our habits to read today, we might be able to change the world tomorrow.
