At least 300 students have been prohibited from registering for classes at Northwestern University because they refused to watch a controversial antisemitism training video that they said was biased in favor of Israel, contained factual inaccuracies and could inflame campus tension over Gaza.
Exactly! Who needs access to trained professionals when you can “do your own research”! Am I right or am I right?
It depends on the profession, but for most things people go to college for they can teach themselves.
College ends up being a place where they give you tutorials and walk you through books. If you can do that on your own, why pay thousands of dollars to have someone else hold your hand?
I’ll admit, a lot of you people lack self-discipline so you won’t learn without someone else forcing you to. In that way, college is a lot like rehab. It’s a place for rich people to waste their money because they can’t take responsibility for themselves.
But hey, all those smart people attending college can’t be wrong, right? It’s just not possible?
Imagine how stupid the average idiot would be if it turned out that most people attending college were just partaking in a scam.
Imagine that.

If you get a full-ride to an Ivy League, then you’re exempt from any of this criticism. But that doesn’t apply to any of you because none of you actually took your education seriously enough when it mattered, so you got trounced by those who did.
Listening to you talk, maybe it’s where I learned humility and how not to make sweeping generalizations that make me look like a moron but who knows? I’m just a brainwashed college educated drone.
Oof, looks like dude’s been doing his own research alright–check out the modlog:
Oof is right haha.
Sorry you had to pay people tens of thousands of dollars over the course of at least 4 years to teach you that after you’ve become a legal adult.
Admitting it is the first step. You’re already ahead of some of these other posters.
