I think you've lost the thread. Here's the comment you were originally responding to in the context of our back-and-forth:

>Nobody wealthy is sitting around scheming how to keep the proles dumb and subdued.

To which you replied:

>"the idea that rich assholes would like to keep the education level of the general population below a threatening threshold is not conspiracy thinking to me, it's just obvious."

To which I replied:

>"The irony is that one of the largest contributions to the public library system was one of the richest guys ever."

It was all about the conspiracy that the wealthy actively suppress education until you went off the rails on a completely different rant.
