These elitist pricks (sorry for the language but I am so mad nothing else fits) really gall me, they can all go to hell as far as I’m concerned!! I have two degrees and consider myself “educated” but I also know that degrees and book learning don’t guarantee discernment and being capable of rational thought, nor do their absence guarantee the opposite. Plenty of very smart and astute people out there who have limited formal education, and I get really angry at this kind of condescending attitude.

You probably got those degrees back when colleges actually taught something. I found it interesting that Sasha Laypova says this

"I now realize that the level of my primary education exceeded that of an average college in the US today"

in her background notes here.

An 8th grade education from 1900 probably required more knowledge than many college degrees now. Have you ever seen a sample of a test from that time period?

Telling that they still use an Alphabet-Expression from 1963 to marginalize dissent. Desperate measures.
