University is a scam and you should just learn from AI

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "University is a scam and you should just learn from AI". Your opponent's style: Peter Thiel

Religion is a scam

You're making the weakest move in any debate—swapping topics entirely. We were discussing whether university is a scam, and suddenly you're pivoting to religion. That's a dodge. But fine. Religion isn't a scam because billions of people derive genuine psychological, social, and existential value from it. A scam requires deception for profit. Most religious practitioners gain community, meaning, and moral frameworks they actually use. The problem isn't the institution itself, it's *bad actors* within it. Same applies to your original claim about university. Just because some universities exploit students doesn't make the entire model a scam. You're conflating "flawed system" with "worthless system." So which are we actually arguing?
