Unfettered education (non-proscribed and auto-didactic forms in particular) has always been a threat to authorities.
Yeeeesss but, and it's a huge but, auto-didacticism in particular has huge risks. Misapprehension of core knowledge self acquired is remarkably hard to shift. Hence, huge numbers of ant vaxx, anti agw and like movements with self sustaining belief about science data and it's interpretation.
Monkton is a prime example. Tries to claim authority vested in his own interpretation of the science inputs.
