Huh.
This is not meant to speak to any specific person, just trends I've noticed among the ignorant. I find it so puzzling when people who are older come at me for being young and/or not college educated, and in simply doing so expresses immaturity on their part. As if age/informal education insinuates I don't know how to do legitimate research, form thoughtful opinions, or conduct myself civilly. In response to the question "You're 24 and/or didn't go to school, what do you know?" I answer, "Not as much as I want." The fact that one wouldn't have the same mentality appears to be the issue.

It has ever been the trap of the schoolmen to think they know something. Perhaps more to point, the constriction of ethics, morality and logic to the sphere of 'philosophy and philosophy alone' in the last century has likely degraded the overall rationality of other philosophical disciplines [namely the physical, mental and social philosophers (who only recently were named scientists)].
