The author Naomi Klein has a great book about Naomi Wolf called Doppelganger, based on the fact that people keep getting the two of them confused. Her descent into the right-wing conspiracy world is quite a thing. Quite funny to see someone call Belfast calm and peaceful though.

Hell you don't even have to be well educated in any meaningful sense. You just have to either have enough time, money or dedication to one hyper niche field to get a piece of paper that says your a doctor. It's both harder then you would think and easier then you would think. Iv met and worked with so many people that have a doctorate that barely have a passable high school understanding of the world around them or anything at all out side of their doctorate. That I would genuinely trust a middle schooler from Mississippi more then them with just about fucking anything.

Not an advanced degree, but my HS valedictorian was one of the dumbest people I've ever met. But she spent hours every day memorizing information she didn't understand just to be able to regurgitate it on the test.
