"愚人的脑袋把哲学消化成愚蠢,把科学消化成迷信,把艺术消化成学究气。因此有了大学教育。"

Simplified Meaning:

When someone who doesn't understand things well tries to learn complex subjects like philosophy, science, or art, they often end up misunderstanding them badly. For example, if a person who doesn't know much about science starts reading about it, they might start believing in strange and incorrect ideas instead of understanding the true knowledge. Imagine someone thinking that a weather prediction app is predicting the future like magic instead of using data and science. This muddling up of ideas can happen in universities too, where some people might take in so much information without truly grasping it. In everyday life, it's a reminder to learn deeply and thoroughly, not just take things at face value or twist them into something they're not. By really trying to understand things, we can avoid turning valuable knowledge into nonsense.
