In my alternate universe, any child that reads books under the desk at school is given a full scholarship to do whatever they want. If they want, they get to skip regular school and hang out in the library with all the other self-directed nerds. Some elder nerds loosely supervise
“How will you pay for this?” Self-directed nerds create billions of dollars of value. I’ll just ask for like 0.1% of their stock or something. Whatever they feel like contributing. They’ll want to hire other self-directed nerds too, so it’s a whole self-sustaining pipeline
Imagine not only being a nerdy self-directed child who is *allowed* to pursue your curiosity, but also doing it in a lovely library where a few elder nerds smile at you supportively, ask you genuine questions, and even show you the cool stuff *they* are working on?? Paradise

This gave me flashbacks, I’ve had so many books confiscated from reading under my desk :(
If you’re going to snatch it from my hands, please, at least let me bookmark the page
too bad you didn't rule this universe when I was a kid.
Fifth grade, 1982, getting permission from Mr. Smith to skip recess & play D&D in a little conference room in the library. Not exactly skipping regular school, but you have to grab temporary autonomous zones whenever & wherever you can.
