People with a PhD know one tiny subject very well, but don’t understand anything about the rest of the world.

There are people with paper PhDs, and those who have something more. The most intelligent man I ever knew well had a PhD in philosophy from Princeton (late '60s!), knew 15 languages (Latin, Greek, French, Portuguese, Hindi, Gaelic, Arabic, Spanish, Quechua, etc.) and had great insights on all sorts of things both political and historical. He DID struggle with the microwave, though.
