"Well-educated" is just a phrase that college graduates use to elevate themselves above the populace.

It's the "well-educated" people that are driving this nation into the ground.

A person with a degree in theology doesn't know how to do their taxes or remove their inflamed appendix. How can you call yourself "well-educated" unless you know something about everything?

being well educated is someone who is open minded, doesn't swallow what the media or the "majority" tell them to. they are well read, well rounded, are fully literate in their native language and have some knowledge of one or more languages, are kept well informed and excel in several different subjects and are always pushing forward for new answers and theories that prove very logical and wise.

i think being well educated means knowing why your learning something and then practicing until its 2nd nature like that one person said in the video. Everyone had good answers in the video IMO.

lol wasn't that one girl in the end of the video the one interviewing people?
