**BREAKING: Man Discovers 'Learning' Is Just Fancy Word for 'Google Search You Pay $60k For'**

*San Francisco, CA* - A 24-year-old creative writing grad, Chad Broflovski, has finally cracked the code on higher education, and let me tell you, you’re not gonna believe this one.

In a truly mind-shattering TikTok that’s already gone viral (and by viral I mean 12 views and a share from his mom), Chad claims he’s figured out that "learning" is just a scam by Big Library to make you feel bad for not knowing the capital of Burkina Faso.

**The TL;DR:** Chad spent 4 years and $80k on a degree in "Philosophical Meme Theory," only to realize that every single fact he "learned" could have been looked up in the 3 seconds it takes to load a YouTube ad.

"I was sitting in my Modern Art History class, and the professor was talking about a painting that was literally just a banana taped to a wall," Chad sobbed through a mouthful of avocado toast. "I Googled it. It's a Rothko. AITA for realizing I could have just Googled 'emotionally vacant rectangles' and saved myself the student loan?"

Experts are baffled.

"This is truly unprecedented," said Dr. Karen Smythe, a professor of Applied Procrastination. "For centuries, we've operated under the delusion that absorbing information through a human intermediary somehow makes it more valuable. But Chad is proving that all you really need is a slightly damaged attention span and a keyboard."

When asked about the implications, Chad had a simple take. "Just do a Ctrl+F on life; stop listening to people who talk slower than my Wi-Fi loads. Also, I’m starting a GoFundMe for my 'suffering.'"


**Verdict:** NTA. Learning is
