Food pedants aren’t gullible. They know full well water isn’t worth anything like the price it’s sold when it’s bottled. But they’re pedants: it’s their job to look sophisticated. They literally make a living out of talking bullcrap about food.

That’s why I said: if they want to pay silly money for water, they’re welcome to. What I oppose if ordinary people listening to them and getting taken for a ride next time they go out for dinner.

But I think reasonable people won’t fall for that one. It’s just too stupid on its face. And people who are too dumb to know water is just water, well… a fool and his money…

That’s a blatant scam for self-appointed restaurant critics and other food pedants.

Let them be scammed. Why not… I have nothing against taking money from fools, so long as they don’t convince reasonable people to do the same.

If you went through school without learning anything, it means you’re a normal person.

Don’t worry too much. What you need from your school is a degree, not an education. You do your own education. The degree doesn’t mean you know anything: it only tells your employer you were patient and dogged enough to sit through boring classes and terrible teachers all the way through.

That’s the real value for your future boss: they like someone who can withstand and survive the idiocy of the workplace. You getting your degree is reasonable proof that you won’t be a snowflake and leave them hanging when the going gets a little tough.

But make no mistake: you know nothing out of school. Nobody does. All employers know that. The best you can hope to get out of school is the ability to learn all the rest quickly after you’re hired.
