Uneducated people are not idiots. Coming from peasant family, this infuriates me. My peasant grandma never read anything except Bible but was among the wisest and most respected people in her village. Us, her grandkids, are now working high-knowledge jobs in top companies in the world.
- _a_a_a_ 3y agoI've seen plenty of people from a low education background, and I also come partly from a family of peasants 2 generations ago. Education gives some ability for critical thinking. Absence of education leaves people extremely manipulable. People with education can't understand how very, very simplistic people can be when they don't have it, until they get dropped right into the middle of it and see it first hand. This is not a criticism of them, it's an endorsement of the value of education.
