“College can be that intermediate period between jail and slavery” and the corollary – “procrastination is the soul rebelling against entrapment” – Nassim Taleb.
I don’t think the purveyors of this civilization realize how big a part in their offers plays the fear of entrapment. Even in the Soviet Russia a career required an attendance but not your soul, it was less of an entrapment. The slave masters never concern themselves about the easy exit, they ignore the natural human tendency to cherish the freedom as our very essence. Procrastination is never an indecision, it’s the resistance, the final stand of the freedom fighters, the valiant if futile attempt of the human soul to fulfill its destiny.
