EDUCATION LEADS TO THUGGERY — WHEN VALUES ARE MISSING

Educated people are more dangerous than the uneducated. In fact, by giving education without values, we may be creating another criminal in society. It is my life’s conclusion that most crimes are committed not by the uneducated, but by those who are educated without values. Most of the crime in the world is committed by literate or educated individuals, not by highly educated ones.

• Literate/Educated = technically schooled
• Well-Educated= ethically, morally, and socially responsible. This reflects a deeper philosophical and sociological truth:

Evidence from Real Life:

1. White-Collar Crimes: Embezzlement, corporate frauds, insider trading, tax evasion — all require education.Examples: Enron scandal, Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme — committed by highly educated people.

2. Political Corruption: Many corrupt leaders and bureaucrats are well-educated. They utilise legal, administrative, and financial knowledge to bend or circumvent systems.

3. Cybercrime & Hacking: Requires technical literacy. But often used for scams, ransomware, identity theft.

4. War Crimes & Genocide: Even genocides (like the Holocaust) were meticulously planned by educated strategists and scientists.

5  Most YouTubers who talk about health issues are nothing more than thugs. The best people who truly understand your health are in hospitals — the thugs are on air

6 Most fraudulent teachers can be found on social media and other online platforms. In reality, everyone around them knows the truth, so they search for gullible people from different parts of the world

• “The banality of evil” — a term by Hannah Arendt, describing how ordinary, educated people justify horrific acts.
• Education without values may create more sophisticated criminals, not better humans.- Great master Vikrant Rohin
