    I spent way too much of my life beating up on myself for never completing higher education before truly understanding this truth.

      You don’t get to use a lack of higher education as an excuse to be ignorant though. Not saying you do, but there are people that take the idea that just because there are stupid people who are highly qualified means that all ‘experts’ can be disregarded. Not true.

      There are plenty of intelligent people at uni, just like there are plenty who never did higher education.

      The things that both of those groups have in common though is that they are curious, intellectually honest and can be reasoned with when presented with evidence.
