Would you agree that the abolishment of copyright might help in the education that you speak of? Did your education, your learning how to be fair to everyone, did this involve the use of copyrighted materials??
How are those with no access supposed to be educated? Each one teach one? That works, unless the teachings are rotten at the core.
Each one teach one how to learn.
On the surface it does appear that living conditions in certain countries have improved dramatically, but at what cost? We have not solved the energy crisis yet, Nothing can rise without the fall of another.
