It would be super cool if the tech media would simply stop credulously repeating every value-juicing statement C-Suites make like they’re the in-house PR department. The only difference between these hollow promises and the guy crying, “The end is near!” on the street corner is funding.
I'm most disturbed by the presumption that a PhD signifies intelligence.
I was in Mensa briefly and the other members were imbeciles because they all believed they were too smart for school and thus never refined their intelligence with *education.*
Every one was a conspiracy nutter as a result.
And, conversely, I've known PhD holders who have neither intelligence nor even basic knowledge in their field.
They just defended an idiotic dissertation in front of a committee that, impossibly, knew even less about their subject matter than they did. Not supposed to be possible, but it was.
