>Nooo not muh literacy! Then our countries will be filled with intellectuals, trained in specialized, competitive skills other than manual labor! That would make it so that, if the world suddenly became connected by advancements in communication and transportation, we would be poised to rule the countries of the world that are less literate, who can only contribute to society with their unskilled labor, which anyone can do or learn quickly! It would almost be like we could rule the world, being in the 1st world, while the 2nd and 3rd worlds serve us! We can't have that! We should go back to medieval times, where the majority of society is illiterate!
