      But let’s not act like you won’t weed out a bunch of dolts in a field if you require a related master’s degree on a topic.

    2. I swear it’s always the people who want their 5 minutes of scrolling on reels to be taken serious as “research” who say this shit.

      Plenty of ignorant people who only know about their topic with a degree, but SIGNIFICANTLY more people in the world who will still doubt someone on a topic they studied.

      In order to earn a higher degree you would have been exposed to many opportunities to learn critical thinking. Many do.

      Ehhh I agree with the spirit. That are TONS or highly educated morons.

      But I also don’t like this smells like “anti-intellectualism”. This three steps away from getting us to stop listening to doctors again.

      People with masters degrees are way more likely to not be idiots than people without a degree at all but I wouldn’t expect people who make posts like this to understand statistics

      I agree, but i feel like this wisdom is often used by the willfully uneducated to justify their flavor of stupidity

    7. Knowledge and intelligence are seperate things i agree, but you’re also less likely to be a moron with a masters degree. They feed into each other, they lift each other up. This risks the sentiment that degrees are meaningless, which definitely isn’t the case. There are exceptions and rules to everything, you have to be able to know which is which. Nothing applies universally, two things can be true at once.

    8. This is definitely true, but don’t take it to mean “I’m gonna trust this random guy on tik tok over the experts because some experts can be idiots”

    9. People with PhDs be the silliest of geese. My aunt has one and I worked at a university where most of the professors had doctorates too.

      Highly competent in their chosen fields. Bumbling spazzes in other aspects of their lives. It’s a funny dichotomy.
