> Perhaps unguided education is today not as accessible for everyone as it was for you, for many reasons. That is fair, I am too liberal with my hyperbole and so I'll try to be a bit more clear. It seems unlikely to me that an individual that has access to a guided university education does not also have access to freely available educational resources either online or in public libraries. That is, I do not believe that a youth today that desires to "grow an intellectual soul" has the single recourse to enroll in the structured environments of universities. I have no idea how you clarifying or arguing over the precise duration of the availability of public libraries contributes to that discussion.

This statement: There is literally nothing stopping a 20 year old human who lives in Western society from growing their intellectual soul through learning. Is wildly different than: I do not believe that a youth today that desires to "grow an intellectual soul" has the single recourse to enroll in the structured environments of universities. > I have no idea how you clarifying or arguing over the precise duration of the availability of public libraries contributes to that discussion. Sure, when you totally change what you're saying, it's not relevant anymore.
