The knowledge or the uni fallacy



that is the purpose of youth for some 
but it is definately the purpose of uni

right
the old
but is everything exchanged knowledge
ponder that one

but carrying on knowledge
this intangible thing
where is it housed
and how can an intangible thing be housed
ponder that
oh the intangible has ties with the tangible
so if the tangible is horded you horde knowledge
well that is the theory

well 

henrich heine saw the attempt 

but as ray bradbury put it you do not have the burn books you have to get people to stop reading them 

and then all you have to do is propose when 
people should read them to have a monopoly 
on knowledge
alah university

some say plato created the first western university 
yes western

some say 
 this is the worlds oldest university
but rather than sweat the details of the worlds oldest we get to the concept uni as it is generally abbreviated
the place of knowledge
even if some of the people who work inside 
have never been or are even able to entertain stimulating conversation
ah university
where automatic intelligence is placed upon a person even if their 
extra curricular activities are anti intellectual

this list starts of with a course that you can study david beckham
here is another list though the joy of garbage is a very intriguing one
this one had one about being a jedi 

and then you have 
published this year about students being scared off of philosophy

so back to the main point about knowledge
what knowledge are people attaining from university at all
since you do all your own work

but concentrating on the fact that if you go to university
a place of learning 
should you not come back changed
so if you go to uni and come back the same person 
what did you learn 
what did you add to yourself

and it comes down to priorities
some people who have never been to uni and do not read yet want to call them selves elders
questioned me when i first started
why philosophy what job can you do with that

and naively then i was defending it
which was validating your views
the point of learning is not for monetary gain it is the betterment of yourself 
you can choose it for gain but that is what it should be 

for you see some people are physically talented but not mentally acute

for yes it is fictional 
this person went to uni did information technology
yet had no books in his house

for for some people as soon as uni is done it is like no more learning yep my learning phase is over

when in truth we never stop learning 

one of my philosophy class mates used to say the greeks would say i am the perfect man
because he works on his body as well as his mind
and that unification is missing 
especially with the mentality of just getting a job

a lot of people put people up as he is a genius 
or she is a genius
question is what is stopping you
for example instead of doing business management 
you did a degree in science or one of the social sciences

for what use is lopsided growth 
men who spend eons in a gym yet cannot string contingent sentences together 
or knowledgeable yet incredibly unhealthy

it comes down to perceptions again you choose
but you have to open your scope
university is not the be all and end all
nor is the lack of money
since knowledge is free
it is people who charge

there are free ebooks and there are libraries
and you can always be an autodidact 

and this ties in with the previous post of elders and this post of where does your course run

“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” Greek proverb
