Self-University Week

This is a holiday intended to bring increased awareness to the value of lifelong learning.  The purpose of Self-University Week is to remind adults that each of us has a responsibility to help shape the future by pursuing continued education.  Our institutions of higher learning are vastly overrated for their ability to impart practical knowledge, answers to our most pressing problems are to be found in self-education and the willingness to use reason in reaching equitable solutions.  Instead, most people form deep convictions based on hearsay and borrowed opinion without feeling the need to gather the appropriate facts and to fully reason out the issues for themselves.  This week should be utilized to inspire the type of understanding that helps individuals derive quality empirically.
