A PhD is not the only way to expand human knowledge. This is disregarding a lot of work done by a lot of hard working people.

Yes but how will I feel good that I spent 140k on a piece of paper if I don't brag about it?

I've been making six figures while getting my PhD. There are plenty of opportunities to get your PhD funded if you are a US citizen. There are plenty more valid places to poke fun at pursuing a PhD but it is very common to have funding and thus no debt.
