They value education and prioritize it.

No, they value the idea of education, and the image of them that it projects.

    Honestly, that's exactly an uneducated view of being educated. It's really not about image projection, except where it comes to getting a job and / or financing for business. An educated person learns the actual value of real education. An uneducated person sees the educated as elite snobs who have a better life quality; but this better quality of life comes in part from the education.

    art is full of nepo babies at the moment and none of them create anything that's going to be as enduring as the worst michael jackson song.

    really dumb take, no offense.

    if they were 'intelligent' they'd be able to do something besides grift. even a homeless bum could grift in the capitalist system if you gave them a few mil and a 10 minute lecture.
