I know actually nothing about this guy and refused to watch the rest of the video when I saw this.

This makes me wonder, what is the most useless worthless PhD you can think of?

      I was going to defend rhetoric PhD programs, since a lot are actually about rhetoric and composition, and there’s a lot of pedagogical theory and practice that they research.

      This guy seems pretty cut rate tho, and his CV shows him as like a principal or something and getting his PhD feels like it was just probably a credential for salary.

        Oh yeah I’m a big believer in the humanities, I just like bullying my friends who insist they’re not a branch of linguistics or semiotics or what have you (as if that’s a bad thing)
