Straight up glorification of obscurantism. How low the republicans have fallen...This is sad for America, really. If you stop believing in education, there's nothing left...

We live in a age where anyone can easily educate themselves online for a fraction of the cost of traditional education.

"educating yourself" is by definition a failed project. Education requires dialectic, contradiction, being exposed to what you didnt know exist. idk how can you do all that by just sitting behind a computer...

You don't know how you can do that behind a computer? Really? Even students at public schools were able to learn behind a computer during COVID. So has anyone who has ever taken a course online or gotten a degree online, or just taught themselves curriculum online on their own. People have been educating themselves since the dawn of the written word it's just easier with a computer. How many people have taught themselves how to code through watching YouTube videos and experimentation, or taught themselves foreign languages? History? Just because you didn't go to a school doesn't mean you can't be "exposed to what you didn't know existed". Are you claiming you can't learn the Socratic method online? I know many people want to think they are smarter than everyone because they spent a lot of money on a degree, but plenty of people are just as educated and they did it all on their own. Some professions are not well suited to self education but many are.
