The end of the idea of the Renaissance Man...

Ever hear of the Renaissance Man?
That's a man or woman who eschews the mediocre idea of "specialization"
and believes that a human that expands their intellect and abilities into many fields of study becomes a more well rounded and powerful human.

These days, they are mockingly called "generalists"
because the established powers don't want people to become broadly educated, they want everyone to be a specialist, because they learned over time that people like Galileo who learn many things will in time challenge the established version of reality that the ruling class has set as truth.

The best thing you can do for yourself to challenge the authority of the ruling class is to educate yourself as widely as possible.

Everyone can do it, it doesn't take a special person,
and that's what scares the elites of this world the most, self actualized human beings that aren't fully under control.
