Access to knowledge 2

From where do we get knowledge? From teachers, books, schools, media, people ... yes. We also get knowledge from ourselves by thinking, analysing, feeling. And we get knowledge from ... empty space, as it seems.
If we really want to learn something, we will get a lot of knowledge even under bad circumstances. It is easier under good conditions, with good schools, good masters, supportive environment. But the teachers can only help us to a certain level ... from that level on we have to rely on our will and on space.
We know from history that many inventions have been made at about the same time in different countries. It indicates that knowledge is "out there" for us to read, when we ask the right question.
The social problem is that this knowledge from space is accessible for all who are desperate enough. Often the most desperate individuals are those with social problems.
If we really want to root out social problems in the future we have to accept that all individuals experience periods of desperation now and then - that is unavoidable - so we should prepare for this by discussing the positive alternatives.
