Academic bubble Memes

Nothing exposes academic bias quite like university rankings! First panel: blissful ignorance embracing American exceptionalism. Second panel: the brutal reality check—those "objective" rankings are created by the very people claiming superiority. It's like letting students write their own report cards and then bragging about getting straight A's. Oxford, Cambridge, ETH Zurich, and countless Asian universities just sitting there wondering when this particular American experiment will end. The scientific method demands independent verification, but apparently not when it comes to academic prestige!
