As someone with a PhD, I got to say that you guys are really overestimating what "PhD level intelligence" is...

It's just regular intelligence overapplied to a weirdly niche subject.

@ubi I have a classmate with a mediocre-level intelligence but with a PhD ...

I am sure he worked hard for the degree but man, from my observation his intelligence hasn't exactly improved.

@ubi (I am sure he's much better now than me at physics though)

@gombang You don't get a PhD by being smart. You get it by being unusually stubborn.
