>mfw spent 10s of thousands of dollars on an education I could have gotten from the public library for $1.50 in late charges

To be fair universities guide students through the material. It can be a daunting task to teach yourself a subject when you don't know where to start.
>>8679707
Wtf!
Just go on the history of x science Wikipedia page and read from top to bottom
Its not the education you pay for, its the degree

How'd you like them apples

wikipedia is garbage
>>8679710
Not even fucking close to college level science.
>>8679710
It depends on the subject. Math is far less approachable than most subjects even on Wikipedia. Also, textbooks all tend to be outdated. If you want cutting edge science, you have to look at journal publications, and those are often extremely opaque.

Yeah, that's why I said the math section of Wikipedia is very hard to approach if you don't have a background. And learning formal logic is not quite the same as learning calculus.
>>8679710
Not many people realize that the best way to approach a science is to go through the history of it.

Calculus is easy, brainlet. Just because *you* need help from a dumb lecturer doesn't mean we *autodidacts* do.
not even remotely true for anything that isn't a meme degree

at the very least you need examination to be sire that you're not just some jackass that just 'thinks' he knows the material
