phds

This topic is going to lead to many PhDs in the future, but in the mean time lets see what happens...

If getting a PhD were just a function of staying in school, a lot more people would have PhDs.

It would not surprise me at all if there were even a few holocaust deniers with PhDs in history.

How many of their staff hold PhDs, particularly in cognitive science, foundations of math, or AI?

One thing that A16Z is not lacking is access to tons of Stanford/Berkeley physics PHDs....

There have been proposals over the years on how to address the overabundance of PhDs.

Certainly in my experience, only a minority of people starting PhDs do so with the explicit goal of attaining tenured professorship.

We're a London (UK) based startup that includes ex MIT researchers, PhDs, and successful serial entrepreneurs, all with 10+ years industry experience.

You claim only a minority of people getting PhDs want to become a professor?

Atleast they got a few PhDs to audit this device and its working.

The next interesting thing is the number of masters and PhDs per gender.

I find it strange, this claim that PhDs have more diverse and subtle motivations than members of drug gangs.

I don't think the problem is with PhDs failing to engage with philosophy, but rather, with the name "philosophy" having been hijacked and turned towards something that isn't worth studying.

Case study for "'/s' considered harmful"; Would-be PhDs take note.

(I wasn't as clear as I might have been...it's early yet.) I was preempting a response that I often hear when this debate comes up, which is that "the market" will fix the problem of underemployed PhDs.
