I noticed that American colleges/universities are just propaganda centers, people come out dumber, more polarized and in great debt. Most don’t even like their career.

    You sounded like you might have known what’s going on for the first 80% of the comment. But your problem is that you think COVID and climate change is important. They aren’t. The climate is always changing darling that’s the point. The sun cycle (research).

    Now COVID, propaganda from the very beginning. Surely now that that untested vaccine that literally isn’t even a vaccine came out (look up what mRNA really is). If you are into science you know the you don’t put untested products into people.

    They want people to be dumb yes. So intellectuals are frowned upon.

      Your ignorance is genuinely terrifying to me. I opened this post because your question is mostly legit. I have an undergrad and a masters degree, and while I don’t regret getting them, I will be in debt for the rest of my life. There are a lot of institutional and structural issues with higher education in the US, but most of them boil down to it being a profit business and not strictly a knowledge business. That fact has a lot of knock-on effects, many of which aren’t super obvious unless you’re entrenched in academia. But importantly, that doesn’t mean the knowledge isn’t still valuable or worthwhile.

      Your comment might as well be an advertisement for why higher education (or really any education) is critically important for a functional society. You’re so fundamentally wrong about all of it, and it sure seems like you’re stubbornly unwilling to learn about the nature of reality, so I don’t think college would be a good fit for you.

        You’re going to be in debt for life your opinion can’t be of value to me as you clearly didn’t think it through. You haven’t even explained how I’m wrong.

      How about you actually research the things you’re talking about? The solar cycle does affect Earth’s climate, but current scientific consensus says that its impact is marginal compared to the greenhouse effect, which has had 270 times a greater effect on climate change compared to the effect from the solar cycle source. It isn’t possible for the Earth’s orbit or solar activity to have had this much of an impact over such a short period of time.

      As for mRNA vaccines, how are they not considered vaccines? Sure, they’re different from the traditional vaccines where they inject dead or very weak cells. What mRNA vaccines do is they inject the mRNA of a part of the pathogen (like a spike protein), along with sugar to encourage your cells to take it inside, then have the ribosomes print out that part of the pathogen inside your own cells. If you understood anything about the immune system, you’d know this is genius, because to the immune system this looks like a genuine infection, while there is zero actual risk of infection because there aren’t any actual pathogens in the vaccine. So the end effect is the same (or better!) than traditional vaccines, the immune system gains immunity, and the risk of side effects are lower because you can’t accidentally get infected in the process.
