Aside from being the most consistely worried looking dude on the planet, 15-year-old Jaden Smith also fancies himself a bit of a philosopher. Lucky for all of us, he’s got a Twitter account, where he’s been known to post such ruminations as, “if a book store runs out of a certain book, does that mean nobody reads it, or everybody reads it.”

But its his latest musings that really strike a chord. Written in his usual every word capitalized style, the Fresh Duke of Bel-Air decided to riff on the education system and the societal norms impressed upon us by the status quo.

“School is the tool to brainwash the youth,” tweeted Smith last Thursday. “If everybody in the world dropped out of school we would have a much more intelligent society,” he added the next day.

I mean, Bill Gates dropped out of school and he turned out okay!
