Absolutely. Ever heard of this thing called "academia"?
Jacob Garcia
I'm not sure what you are saying? Academics are all retarded? It takes a lot of work and brainpower to get a PHD

Fixed this for you. You can also look up the average IQ PHD awardees have. It's below 120. So much to them all being geniuses.
>How can that be. It must be that IQ isn't reliable and must be wrong.
Going into academics in the first place is a stupid thing to do. People who do that either majored in humanities or are stupid STEMs with little actual career prospect.
Jacob Ward
All intellectuals are idiots.
Daniel Long
A public intellectual is just anyone holding a unique philosophical outlook. Of course that person and their ideas can be contemptibly stupid. Just take for instance, Camus or Lacan.
Daniel Richardson

Don't take the humanities into account, everything there except for philosophy is a joke.

Have you gone to university? Being an academic is just regurgitating what more respected academics tell you to say with a little twist.
Luke Nguyen
to go into severe debt so that you can potentially be hired as one of the most underpaid professions in the country is not a smart thing to do, no matter how many dead authors you've read and how many buzzwords you know
