Note that the praise was not especially earnest.

    I mean, he’s quite well educated. That’s just another example of how legacy systems are fucking terrible.

      Attending prestigious does not inherently make him well educated. Especially when one of the professors says you are, and I quote, “the dumbest goddamn student I ever had”.

        “Well educated” in the sense that he got an education in prestigious places, not that he was a good student. The worst doctor to come out of Johns Hopkins is not going to be a good doctor because of it.

        It does in fact make him “well educated.” He’s not smart, learned, well-read, or thoughtful. It’s just a fact, it’s not something that can be debated. No one with a community college degree will ever be well educated and no one with an Ivy League degree will ever not be well educated.

          A person who attended an Ivy League school has had the OPPORTUNITY to become well educated. But it’s possible to graduate without making any use of that opportunity. Especially if you’re a cheating cheater who cheats from the get-go, and is only interested in staying out of the military and social climbing.

          Meanwhile a person can cobble together an excellent education at community colleges with a transfer to a state university, if they really care about learning and having a well-rounded intellect, choose their classes and professors carefully, and go beyond the regular expectations in coursework.

            No, mere matriculation and conferring of a degree makes that individual, definitionally, we’ll educated.

            You don’t have to like basic facts for them to be true. This is a good life lesson for you.

              Okay you’re welcome to say they’re “definitionally we’ll educated” because that tells me all I need to know about you. Shoddy scholarship is clearly your hallmark.
