(this writing is best had after watching the Game of Thrones episode 'Hardhome'[1])

Why should one default and burn their student loans?

Student debt is the Night's king of our age. The more you battle to pay it off, the stronger it becomes, turning your fallen friends into undead wage-slaves.

You cannot have a rational conversation with a wage slave, or most anyone in debt, for the things they bought with it take over their lives.

You must be willing to burn the debt and all the things that came with it. But doing so alone is a fools errand, burning any path you may have to live free, ensuring, at best, a free death, after which any possessions you may still have will be raised from the dead to fight for the Night's debt army

To be free, we must first be able to feed ourselves, educate ourselves, and freely share both food and information. Burning debt is not sufficient. We must plant seeds, and share the fruits of those seeds with anyone who may be hungry. The only way to fight the deabt is with gifts of abundant food, and the compost of the abundance after hunger is saited.
