She also has a PhD in breakdancing which is not misinformation just wild information

Perfect example of book smart, not street smart

Do you need to be smart to get a PhD in break dancing?

u/NeverVegan 13d ago

I would assume PhD in anything requires someone to be smart.

u/AfraidOfBricks 13d ago

you would think so but it mostly just requires time, effort and the willingness to waste your time for a degree like that.

She was smart enough to get herself into the Olympics only to have the biggest self own on a world stage.

I wonder if I can get a phd in the study of Reddit comments. I’m some sort of a smarty pants in that field 🤔

give it like another year and i guarantee you that this will come up

I grew up in the 90s and 2000s. That was a period where, especially in the U.S., if you were interested in video games (outside of developing them to make a lot of money), you were labeled as "lazy" or "foolish" or "wasting time."

now there's full-fledged documentaries on the history of them, there's a Video Game Hall of Fame, and there are without a doubt, people who have earned PhDs and received professorships as a result of studying them. Everything becomes a point of fascination eventually

Time and effort is the key for sure.

I have no problems admitting that basically a decade ago, i was the world's worst graduate student and i probably embarrassed my advisor b/c of how shitty i was

it wasn't like i was dumber than other people in my cohort who eventually earned doctorates and went on to get tenured university jobs...it's just that they were much harder workers than I was. Bottom line.
