I'm not sure whether my point of view is going to stand up to someone who has put as much into this as you have. But anyway.
> If so, that credential is not only wasteful, it is also worthless.
I think "worth" is a synonym for "value".
> Frankly, at its core, nothing is inherently valuable, because any value is the value we ascribe to things.
I can't reconcile these two statements of yours.
> as we established in previous paragraph, it is a learning institution in name only ( used only for credential )
I've never been, but I imagine there is actually more to it, but some people may not participate in the true learning part. Like the combo meal has fries. I'm just choosing not to eat them.
> The point of education at Harvard ( or other notable names ) is not spend your parents money parking your keister for 4 years while waiting for that credential.
Perhaps Harvard wishes that were not the case, and some of the time it probably isn't. But I find it hard to believe that no one pays tuition for that purpose.
There probably is an objective reality for all know. I even refer to it sometimes. But all I have to work with are these five senses, and this faulty brain.
