    Exhibit n we’re giving out doctorate degrees like candy.

    A STEM PhD should be able to read and write at a high level and an PhD in English should have a modicum of knowledge of the world that surrounds us. This type of communication shenanigans only strengthens the current zeitgeist of anti-intellectualism IMHO.

    note: That is assuming this isn’t a satire account, which it very likely is, I refuse to believe this level of stupidity hasn’t been selected against.

      Unfortunately it’s very real. The author Naomi Klein has a great book about Naomi Wolf called Doppelganger, based on the fact that people keep getting the two of them confused. Her descent into the right-wing conspiracy world is quite a thing.

      Quite funny to see someone call Belfast calm and peaceful though. I’m in it quite regularly and usually just want to get out as soon as I can.

      Supposedly student are now relying on AI so much that they are parroting it. Things are gonna get worse, because everyone will have a doctorate soon and the owners of AI can guide them.
