You seem to put extraordinary value on formal education, but seem to give little value to tacit knowledge and wisdom, each of which is not necessarily acquired via the formal education route.
Doesn't seem that way to me. I neither overvalue formal education nor do I, as too many Trump supporters do, undervalue it.
I get tired of the bemoaning by conservatives of the 'elites'.
When did striving to be the best, educationally, professionally or athletically become unfashionable?
Why do you believe that formal education does not necessarily better facilitate, advantage, the acquisition of tacit knowledge and wisdom?
I'm familiar with all of the points in the article you linked to and I disagree with none of them.
Of course I've known and worked with people educated beyond their intelligence, both HS grads and college grads.
However the preponderance of my experience tells me that the smart money is on....pun intended.
Lastly, I view formal education, knowledge and wisdom as working together to inoculate me against either manifesting or supporting...semi-literacy, historical illiteracy, economic illiteracy, and junk science, as well as equipping me to make value judgments on those who DO exhibit all of that AND those who support a president who unprecedentedly brings those deplorable, crippling, inadequacies to the office of POTUS.
Nothing remotely like it in modern history.
My education and my wisdom compel me to hold Trump accountable for the consequences those inadequacies have visited on all of us.
