I don’t know, I didn’t used to think he was doing on purpose. The man has a physics degree, so he’s not an idiot. I just find it hard to believe he has made so many dumb mistakes in a row without realizing it.

That’s the problem. He’s made a shit ton of mistakes and he hasn’t realized it. His own internal numbers show that the platform is in decline but he’s just saying “No. It’s the users who are wrong.”

Anybody can get a physics degree–a baccalaureate level university education simply isn’t that difficult. Really, it’s a question of the time and effort, and any talents or intelligence you have will make it easier.

Have you ever taken an advanced physics course before? Bcz it sounds like you haven’t. I’d also like to add that my bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering was anything but easy.

I’m not saying that it’s easy. Rather, it’s that you can brute force your way through a bachelors degree. Work ethic versus intelligence. That innate ability to intuit a subject will be more important at the grad level.

I know a few idiots with physics degrees. Being able to do maths doesn’t mean you’re smart.
