This is a really good discussion | TheRedPill

I think a lot of truths presented are universal. I especially like how one redditor states that knowledge does not equate to wisdom, and that just because you learned a LOT, does not mean you "know" a lot. Id argue that a lot of these men who pursue degrees and phds run in the same category. A lot of men who believe a degree will equate to "success" but cant for the life of them know and apply TRP into their lives, making them some beta dump for some wicked woman. Or some slave beta in a women dominated or mixed environment, with them not knowing dynamics. Reminds me of how someone posted in the square about how his friend has a PHD but refers himself to "her slave" when it comes to his beta dynamic with his cheating wife. A lot of men also think they will be financially free pursuing degrees and not wisdom and all things righteous, but end up a slave to their work anyways. They didnt sacrifice “when their was still youth”, and choose to continue the “straightforward” path of life, and lose it in the end with their lack of understanding. While the chads keept it real, questioning and moving away from the blind order they were raised in. And while they make have “lost" the direction of their lives for a second, they end up finding it in the end.

Thing is, men due to natural circumstance, are more capable of having that sit down pause period needed to get their life together. Its just that men are raised to be so feminine. And with the attention span and lack of introspection of men’s decisions today, you’d think they only had a few months to live.

Also a redditor posted "This is one of those insufferable "education to ego" twats, ran into enough of these in academia. They believe a diploma sets them above other people and makes them wiser and better informed, so their opinions carry more weight. Reality will have different plans for you, my dear...""

I particularly dislike how women and most men do have a "patriarchal method of calculating intelligence." Hypergamous also a good subsidiary for patriarchal.

Also how people always have to associate with some biblical tag like "bible reader" or loves the "bible" to virtue signal. Filth

yup, some of the dumbest people I knew had P.hd's , some of the smartest had no degree at all.

If you have a PhD in foreign studies or Poly sci or whatever. Does that mean you are smart? Nope

I think graduate degrees also look worse to employers if you have no relevant work experience. They sort of paint the red flag that the person is socially inept in professional environments, or not well adjusted to get a job with just a Bachelors degree alone; so they had to invest more money and time into education just to get a small advantage. Lots of people fall for this trap, only to end up lecturing at the same university they acquired the degree from - graduate slavery.

The exception to that is people who pursue graduate degrees in fields they are passionate about, and want to do research in - but the issue is this is very few people. Most people going for MBAs (for example) are just looking for more job prospects and higher entry level pay, and not because they are actually interested in the study of business.

I used to work heavily with mathematics and CS professors at a well regarded institution (won’t say where, but the students who attend that school are definitely not short on opportunities once they’re finished). We were once discussing their graduate programs, and they basically said that all of their students are foreign because “American kids who study math just want to go to work”. Learning for learning’s sake is fun, but not at the cost of a $70k a year entry level job with growth potential. And this is for one of the few departments out there that’s generally pleasant to deal with, in mathematics departments.

But yeah, in my world of mathematics and computer science, I always have a question when I see a resume of a guy, American-born, who attends graduate school right out of college. Especially a non-elite program. Take data science for example: while a PhD level understanding of math would probably be helpful in some capacity, it’s not nearly enough of an advantage to consider them over a peer who, instead of going off to grad school, worked for 6 years.

My Master in Education was easy compared to my Bachelor in Physics...

Education as a degree is ironic. What do you think you're surrounded by exactly? And how is what you study going to be all that different from psychology of learning?
