Something about being able to interpret research papers and about being taught to be a critical thinker… but, a Facebook survey isn’t exactly a random sample lol
We're talking about PhDs, the most gullible people there are.
I think that’s more indicative of masters degree where you’re regurgitating curriculum. PhDs have to define their own curriculum and defend their findings. It’s a different process not conducive to diploma factories
You have to 'defend' your findings before other so called experts in the field. What kind of 'experts' will one find in sociology and social psychology? Radical leftists generally.
To be clear, I have great respect for physics PhDs, and others that take skills, intelligence and learning. Not for the ideologues in the social "sciences" and humanities though.
And yet the physicists are not the ones who have figured out how to rule one the people…
This is long gone in American academia outside of STEM. Many phds today could have never gone through a classical defense. They'd have run out of the room screaming about the patriarchy.
Maybe so but then again they also didn’t have to compete against women, foreigners, and the internet. 🤷♂️
