the people who live the best lives often don't even have a college degree.

They are much more likely to mind their own business rather than trying to tell other folks how to live their lives--exactly the kinds of folks you want for neighbors--and relatives!

A lot of highly educated people are not comfortable having live viral dna injected into them which directs their own cells to manufacture viral proteins…trillions of copies…think about that for a moment…what could go wrong???

My dad hired quite a few PhD researchers in his career. He often said “they don’t know which end of a hammer to pick up.” But they sure could solve the most challenging technical problems.

PhDs have learned to teach themselves. They must do independent research and be able to defend it before others.

Interesting curve that speaks to the brainwashing of the higher education agenda.

High school, not as indoctrinated yet. To the upper level of PhD where they are finally intelligent enough to realize that it was all just indoctrination and then self adjust for that and think for themselves again.

The biggest spread is between those with a master’s degree and those with a Ph.D. That does not make any sense. Conclusion: This study is junk, like so many others.

Well I must have a PhD in life because I was skeptical of this crap from the beginning. They forced a psy ops on us to enable the steal and get richer in the process.

Question Authority!!!

You don’t get a PhD by agreeing with everything you see without facts and evidence to support it.

And yet somehow it seems that is the only way to get a PhD. Bizarre world.

“Graduate school teaches one to be skeptical about scientific claims until sufficient, repeatable evidence is available. One does not simply follow the “consensus” any more than one develops a product solely through committee meetings”

Agreed! A PhD learns the politics of “Science”. They learn to be skeptical of claims not backed by credible research,

"‘brainwashed’ Trump supporters who don’t want to take the vaccine"

Trump has consistently endorsed the vaccines and considers their rapid development one of his greatest achievements, so how does vaccine-hesitancy among some of his supporters square with the notion that "Trumpism" is a "cult" of brainwashed zombies?

Perhaps an "OFF" switch would be a plus?
