Knowledge belongs to everyone.

Education is what stops wars from starting. It is what teaches a person to see the oppressor before he calls himself a leader, and the enemy before he calls himself a friend.

Knowledge is not evenly distributed. One child grows up with languages, books, and access to power. Another grows up hungry, exhausted, and without a library nearby. The gap is not talent — it is infrastructure, wealth, and access.

Knowledge has never been fair. It is concentrated, priced, and guarded. Those at the top call it merit while inheriting every advantage. Those without are told to work harder inside systems designed to exclude them.
