I know a guy with two PhD’s, who works in a genetics lab, and is entirely convinced that Neanderthals (and all other pre-homo sapien humanoids) are a hoax by evolutionists to lead true believers astray.

How is that possible?? And why would anyone do two phds? I thought that was just a hollywood trope.

  Massive doublethink? I haven’t talked with him much, and don’t want to contact specifically to ask, but the post just made me think back.

  I’ve got the one, and I often wonder why the hell I ever did it.
  
  I do know 1 other person with a double PhD, but he figured “Nah, now that written half a dozen paper, I suddenlt realize economics sucks, I’m gonna do maths instead!” and got a 2nd degree in his late 50s. Personally, I would rather get keelhauled than go for another phd, but to each their own.

    Agreed! I’m finishing my one-and-only phd at the moment (hopefully) and feel completely done with academics.
