Agreed. Education has slid to a point where I consider most PhDs (esp. in social "science") to be a mark of lower intelligence.

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I will say if it's the mark of anything, then it's the mark of someone who probably couldn't cut it in the hard sciences. The soft sciences are all based on speculation and wishy-washy testimonial evidence which means defending a PhD thesis is gonna be a cake-walk compared to the hard sciences.
