This is actually not at all surprising to me.

The specific phD degree does matter. For example, there is a big difference between a phD in "gender studies", and a phD in maths or physics.
There is no such phD that you named. Hence your point is moot. Just proves that they don't give out phDs in imaginary fantasy things

Education means propagandized, not smart.
You need to usually actually be smart to even attempt a phD. Unlike prior levels

PhDs can read studies more easily. I presume that's the reason.
I have no university degree and can read studies just fine. Not it. But more smart people get a phD than prior levels, simple

not at all i believe i understood it perfectly, the further into the education system a person gets the more receptive that person becomes. people with phds are an anomaly because because they are genuinely intelligent, and can think for themselves. no?
It is not an anomaly, it is simply that an mD and PhD requires you more likely to actually be smart,or you would not get certain phDs ever. 76% of PhD recipients are not hesitant as you can see, so 3 out of 4 are still dumb
Degrees have been watered down over the years. It would seem the genuinely smart are refusing and the token "I am very smart" crowd are following the herd as usual.

Agree. Everything else youโ€™re taking out debt for all sorts of useless degrees. Some masters out there are worthless.
They can take their needle and shove it up their ass, why don't they just f*cking leave us alone already. Not interested.
I have been told by at least five different people that I am stupid, this graphic proves them wrong ๐Ÿคฃ
