The chapter explores the importance of mental stimulation and amusement for animals in captivity as a means to prevent boredom and agitation, drawing parallels to human societal norms and control. It criticizes the educational system for conditioning obedience rather than fostering understanding, advocating for an empowering form of education. The discussion extends to personal autonomy, financial independence, and the significance of self-sufficiency in resisting external influence and achieving true freedom.
