DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!
Throughout the ages mankind has sought to acquire many things…
Land, loot, notoriety and the luxury of free time…
But in all of our pursuits,
there is one that has made us the most distinctly dominant creature the world has ever seen…
Our desire and drive to acquire knowledge…
And as we have acquired it we have at times shared it, and kept it secret…
We have horded it in libraries and archived it online…
We created institutions dedicated to teaching what we have learned to the next generation of seekers…
And we made these institutions free…
to democratize education…
We did this as a nation founded by educated people because we knew that knowledge
Above all other pursuits
Would make this nation strong…

And as we acquire it here,
it will be shared with you as always…
For as long as you seek it…
