I learned how to argue. They called it ‘Debate’. I learned how to worship. I learned how to become an eager worker and a passive consumer. But I didn’t learn anything practical, like how to purify water, build a home, start a fire, grow food, or survive without the help of corporations. Joss Sheldon
About This Quote

The quote above is coming from the perspective of a person who has never learned how to provide for themselves. This person is telling us that they believe that they are better than everyone else because they do not know how to make things for themselves. They are trying to be superior by pretending to know more than anyone else, but in reality they are ignorant of the most basic of survival skills. Though this quote is about the perspective of an individual, it can also be applied to corporations and businesses.

Corporations and businesses rely on people to initiate actions in order to provide them with money for their work. Without people willing to act in order to provide money, the business cannot continue or grow.
