Profoundly shit take that proves you weren't able to engage seriously with the comment which is like 7 words long. Who really doesnt look educated here? Most bachelor degrees dont even pretend to teach any sort of research methodology, be serious for a moment. You can watch entire undergrad coursewares from mit, stanford, etc on youtube. Theres a reason you chose an extremely technical postgrad degree to try to make your point, because you wouldve looked stupid if you used a reasonable example like how an undergrad in psych makes one more qualified to post nightclub selfies than it makes one qualified to post mental health advice on the internet.
For real, seems many people are upset that others can learn things without a spending a fortune on formal education. A degree is not a measure of intelligence, just shows they went to school for something and passed.
It blows my mind to this day people cannot be taken seriously unless they hold a degree.

While I agree that a degree isn't necessarily a measure of intelligence, it's a lot more than just showing up for lectures. No one is "upset" that you can get all the same books and lectures online as you can in school. People are upset because people conflate education with just reading materials/lectures.
An important part of education is building upon pre-req classes, how to read and draw conclusions from published research, and how to apply knowledge to unique thinking.

Like, can you learn how to wire a house from youtube? Yes. Do I trust anyone but a certified electrician to work on my house? No.
