It's still free. You're not paying for the education, you are paying teachers and university buildings/materials. No one is stopping you from going to the library and learning. The internet hosts a large wealth of knowledge.I'm ready for those downvotes, but it's just a hardpill to swollow
You're not actually saying anything useful here.
While it is true that the desire to acquire knowledge comes from within, you're utterly disregarding how lack of access to educators, equipment, facilities, etc., can slow down or halt individual progress.
You've also disregarded some rather serious regulatory issues; I don't go to self-taught doctors, and don't want self-taught engineers designing my bridges and airplanes.
