This is a normal post This just illustrates reverse-intellectual snobbery
Why is it more important to know about classical music than what's in the charts today?

Why is better to know Orwell than Stan Lee?

And vice versa.

I find it best to know stuff that will win you pub quizzes

This is a normal post It's all pointless
and you're right, at least a pub quiz might win you a bottle of booze and a bj from the landlady.

This is a normal post I agree.
University Challenge is merely obscurist, not intelligent, as such.

That being said, that doesn't make Going For Gold inherently better.

To that extent: leave UC as it is, but make the final basically a pub quiz. Similarly, the final round of Masterchef should be running a branch of McDonald's.
