Re: Educated Morons or Rednecks?
BTW the whole "educated moron" thing is a canard. It's something people who don't achieve what others achieve educationally say to make themselves feel better. The truth is that if somebody earns a Ph.D. they did something most people can't do. And that includes most people who say things like "educated moron."
It's just populist nonsense people use to try to diminish the fact that others accomplished something they did not accomplish. In the overwhelming majority of cases, it's populist nonsense people use to try to diminish the fact that others accomplished something they are not CAPABLE of accomplishing.

I have to act like I am dumber than I am to fit in and not be perceived as "uppity." That's the honest truth.
I do it, by the way. I tone down my vocabulary, etc. But I am more comfortable being with people such that I don't have to do that.

BTW, NOTHING you stated (not the first, second or third time) negates the fact that most PhD’s are assholes who think their shit doesn’t stink and think they are far superior to anyone else around them. First time a PhD who’s NOT a medical doctor tries to make me call them “Dr. Smith” or whatever, they get punched straight in the face.

My daughter is going to school to be a pharmacist and will get a doctor of pharmacy when she's done with school. She always jokes that she's going to be an arrogant asshole and make people call her doctor.

Re: Educated Morons or Rednecks?
The overwhelming majority of PhDs I've worked with and known don't care if you call them "doctor" or not. But know that, depending on the field, a lot of them have accomplished a lot to get those PhDs. Like take somebody that has a PhD in mathematics and statistics. Most people who are medical doctors could never have gotten through the curriculum they had to get through to get that PhD.
