Well that escalated quickly.
Context: Shōin Yoshida wae a low ranking samurai who snuck aboard Commodore Matthew Perry’s ship in 1853. He did this just to learn more about it.
He was caught and sent to prison where he read 600 books in under a year. To keep himself from forgetting the info, he started giving lectures to the other inmates.
After that he started his own school but was executed later by the samurai government because they thought he was teaching dissenting ideas. His students helped lead the Meiji restoration and the first two prime ministers learned under him.
