My PhD. Just started.

[Crepitus]

I have decided to compose a dissertation for a doctoral thesis. Please review this sample and tell me what you think. I am going to spend a year on it so the research can be done properly. It is going to be about 40,000 words.

Thanks,
Ray

Introduction ​

As I am on my way to eighty years old, it is time to revisit my education. Due to time constraints, I have decided to dispense with the usual formalities and go right to a PhD. I do this after reading portions of Dr. Jill Biden’s doctoral thesis which is written on such a pedestrian level that it barely qualifies it as a respectable grocery list. Obviously for western democracy to survive this cannot continue. Self-education among the plebian population using all available resources is important especially in consideration of a metastasizing educated Idiocracy that has already resulted in assaults on free speech, the abandonment of national sovereignty, the collapse of law and order in cities, the release of a human-engineered plague, a Holocaust-inspired marginalization of a racial group, a fraudulent, stolen presidential election, and the installation of a demented dunce-whispering national leader at the helm of the world’s most powerful capitalist economy.

A thesis of world events and an explanation of the regressive evolution of American education compulsory and higher with respect to a loss of critical thinking skills.

Right off the bat the writer apologizes for the high Flesch-Kincaid score of this document which will limit views since most Americans read on a 3rd to 7th grade level and many US college graduates understand the written word at an 8th grade ability. There has been no detectable biological retrogression of human intellect in modern America, so it is safe to say that contemporary citizens are not being born more stupid than their predecessors. What is far more likely is that they are being made that way by modern technology, corporate branding/advertising, propagandized media, and critically lowered bad education. As a baby boomer born in 1947 my recollections are as follows:

Higher education in America experienced a sea change beginning with the launch of the world’s first Earth-orbiting satellite, Sputnik, by the former Soviet Union in 1957. This historical episode generated consternation among US leadership bordering on mass hysteria. The fear that America was losing ground to the Russians introduced a clinical panic into US command and control giving rise to a system of student debt and corrupting American education to the extent that the national history IQ among domestic college graduates has plummeted.


......Much more to come......

Throwing together a buncha four syllable words doesn't make you sound any smarter.

I just did some checking and "Idiocracy" may indeed be incorrectly spelled. My Office editor prefers ideocracy. I solved the problem by capitalizing the word but that capitalization may have bee seen as a reference to the movie. I apologize for the confusion and appreciate the notification.

Ideocracy is an actual word meaning governance according to a specific and strict ideology.

Idiocracy is the title of a movie.

Don't try to use big words you don't understand.

Thank you so much. I will now alter that line to say an ideocracy carried to its logical conclusion which is a planned idiocracy.

Editing help is appreciated. Here is the re-write:


Self-education among the plebian population using all available resources is important especially in consideration of a metastasizing educated ideocracy. It is an ideocracy rooted in the propagation of a planned national real-life “Idiocracy” that has already resulted in assaults on free speech, the abandonment of national sovereignty, the collapse of law and order in cities, the release of a human-engineered plague, a Holocaust-inspired marginalization of a racial group, a fraudulent, stolen presidential election, and the installation of a demented dunce-whispering national leader at the helm of the world’s most powerful capitalist economy.


Keep those suggestions coming.

As I am on my way to eighty years old, it is time to revisit my education. Due to time constraints, I have decided to dispense with the usual formalities and go right to a PhD. I do this after reading portions of Dr. Jill Biden’s doctoral thesis which is written on such a pedestrian level that it barely qualifies it as a respectable grocery list. When education produces examples like this that endows a title of doctor onto an individual that composes a document that could have been written on the back of a children’s cereal box, democracy is in imminent peril. Obviously for western civilization to survive this cannot continue. Self-education among the plebian population using all available resources is important especially in consideration of a metastasizing educated ideocracy. It is an ideocracy rooted in the conscious spread of a planned national real-life “Idiocracy” that has already resulted in assaults on free speech, the abandonment of national sovereignty, the collapse of law and order in cities, the release of a human-engineered plague, a Holocaust-inspired marginalization of a racial group, the placement of urban blight into rural communities, a fraudulent, stolen presidential election, and the installation of a demented dunce-whispering national leader at the helm of the world’s most powerful capitalist economy. In a sense, the people have always known this was coming. Creeping socialism is now at our doorstep behind torch-wielding angry mobs of Manchurian candidates released into the streets to burn away our history, traditions, and way of life. Obviously, it is of the utmost importance for Americans to step up and meet these challenges head-on. The enemy must be met on its own turf; it is “High Noon” for America.

You could be like "Dr" Jill and use college brochures as your resource material. Top notch academia there.
