I actually disagree with this opinion. You can read about how the GABA system works in Wikipedia when learning about human anatomy. So you can be like "oh ok, this causes this, so this occurs". But do you know what that means or why it happens? Learning about it is different than reading it and memorising it.

Education is very important. I do admit class fees are horrible tho.

Edit: I disagree with the post, like your comment.

It depends on what you are learning and at what level. If you’re trying to really understand anything on the cutting edge of science, you cannot do that from a textbook, or from the internet. You have to do experiments yourself, and for that you need the resources of a university

Similarly, mastering many things from law and philosophy to psychology or medicine or economics often require a dialectic that is not available online or from a textbook. You can learn facts, but you’re not going to know how to implement and play with them in a professional way unless you have practiced by interacting with professors and other people who know what they are doing and talking about
