- CaptArmchair 6y agoI don't view it as bragging either. But it's still interesting to see a list of concrete things has achieved, yet only come to the rather vague conclusion that "University where you come together to learn and research". I think higher education is an opportunity shape a person during a crucial stage of their development as a young adult. It's a time when you get the opportunity to get exposed to many of different ideas, views and beliefs; to learn how to have a healthy debate and formulate a well-founded argument; it's a time to reflect on what you have learned thus far and what you will do with it in the near and far future. It's a time of start off discovering the world away from your parents and your guardians. To me, that's what higher education is about. It's that phase between adolescence and becoming an independent adult in your own right. I don't think that's something you can ever acquire by passively consuming content via the Internet. Some of the good and critical things do take time to learn and aren't really quantifiable.
- MisterBastahrd 6y agoHow many degree-granting universities do you think have access to this kind of funding and network? I'm guessing less than 5% in the US alone.
