Thinking that someone without a formal education is somehow beneath you.
On the flipside, the belief that someone with a formal education is somehow beneath you or brainwashed for it.
Ten years ago I never would've believed that people like that exist, or that they think Science is evil for some reason
Science is neutral, but can be used for evil.
Science is not neutral. It is biased towards the truth.
Yeah, it's just a tool that has been used for so much good that it's bonkers to trash it altogether

Everyone is below someone else somehow, since you use that word. Iβm beneath my friend in film knowledge. Iβm above my friend in gardening skill. In this sense, one can clearly be beneath someone else in education. Or height. Or travel experience.
You meant that regardless of education, we all have the same human worth. Thatβs true. But yeah you can absolutely be beneath me somehow
