If we actually manage to create superintelligence that makes human mental labor unable to compete economically, can you give me a reason that humans should value education? I personally think there's some inherent fun in learning, but that's not a reason to impose my hobby on everyone.

I think we're working very hard to build a world where there's no real reason for education.

I don't know who you mean by "we", certainly not "me". But yes, the MegaCorps are indeed working hard on this, because they want to be the ones to provide the devices. And governments would be happy too so long as they're aligned with MegaCorp because it solves the "citizens' access to much information results in critical thinking that might be critical of us" problem -- a problem China solved with their GFW and censorship.
