Im guessing you have zero education in either. It would take her a decade to catch up given how far back her education is compared to the norm.
Think about how much your average person who has a GED knows, there is zero reason to expect Swift to be better educated than that person.
Yes, and presumably anyone in the position we're talking about is somebody who would have devoted a decade to their education in the field. Do you think I'm talking about "I do my own research" types? No, I'm talking about real actual auto-didacts.
Definitionally we aren't talking about "your average person who has a GED," Jesus fucking Christ.
We are talking about Taylor Swift. There is absolutely no indication she has these abilities you are assigning her. She really IS someone who just has a GED in terms of their education.
you:
me:
The topic started about Swift, but your claim was bigger than her. Thus my response was to your larger claim, not about Swift.
And as we were talking about Swift I figured you were calling her an auto-didactic person
I was not. But counter-point, we have no idea idea what Taylor Swift does with her free time. For all we know she love economics and has spent the last decade devoting all her free time to the deep study thereof. The point is this is hardly outside the realm of feasibility, and there's no reason to over-celebrate degree or downplay the real viability of autodidacticism.
Im guessing you have no background in this subject, would that be correct?
Argue with the substance of my argument, not its author.
