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.
Shit, this splash of sad reality doesn't help with my suicidal tendencies...
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.
