The SelfReliant Internet, Education, and Finance Policy Think Tank Publication Series: Many people think of both the financial services "industry" and the information technology "industry" as being sectors of the economy just like any other. At SelfReliant LLC we hold that this is really not the case, because of the importance of both of these "industries" to self-education and self-reliance. You don't know how to use RSS? Well, the benefits of that information technology will never accrue to you? You don't know how to manage your own financial decisions? The benefits of the knowledge will accrue perhaps to whatever financial advisor you choose, but not to you. On the issue of finances, our stance is similar to Robert Kiyosaki's: "Money is a kind of base subject. Like water, food, air and housing, it affects everything yet for some reason the world of academics thinks it's a subject below their social standing." -Robert Kiyosaki On the issue of information technology, we feel the same is true. Information technology is obviously not something that can be confined to Computer Science majors, because it is the complex medium through which we are now communicating every other sort of thought or idea. Understanding this medium, and embracing it, has become almost a lifestyle choice rather than a simple interest or hobby. This is why "The Internet is the University of the 21st Century" and we at SelfReliant want you to embrace Internet opportunity and financial opportunity equally. Do you know what preferred stock is? Do you know what Ruby on Rails is and why it's useful? Find it out - learn it - because it will make you more self-reliant and better able to self-educate in the 21st century.
