What's Your Degree?

[Elie]

B.Sc. in biology and diploma in naturopathic medicine... and Ray's teachings were still so refreshing and made so much sense,
I was indoctrinated by the usual dogma - omega 3 is a panacea, counties with low calcium intake have less osteoporosis, sugar is bad for you (couldn't connect the dots from biochemistry class), etc.

I live in South Lyon. But work in Detroit. Nice to meet someone with similar views. If there is a Ray Peat group I’m down to meet up!

[naevastar]

Bachelor in Nutrition and Dietetics (Honours) and currently completing a Masters degree in human nutrition.
Hoping to do a phd after this because I want to work with research. And I want to work with fertility and hormones..
University degrees has nothing to do with intelligence levels, it just a paper showing you can learn in a structured way and write the answers the university requires...
Finding dr. Peats work was lifechanging for me and I want to continue working on it.

Haha same here. It’s funny from my biochemistry class. I remember all the reactions needed to generate ATP required sugar.

I cant believe a lot of these MDs cant connect the dots. Before I learned about Ray I was the same way. And I had studied naturopathic medicine for 5 years before that.

Impressive people here! There's a reason this is my favorite forum.

While I agree the educational system is largely useless. I do believe there is a value in a degree. I do firmly believe my degree gave me a strong mind. Yes I was brainwashed but I learned to think in a different way and am forever grateful.

I have a BS in Mathematics, very silly little degree IMO, not a very challenging school, but I'm considering going back for something biological..

BSEE minor in mathematics never did one thing with it

I also have a math minor to my Psych major. Don't underestimate the value in learning math. It is a puzzle that trains your brain to think differently. It doesn't matter if you didn't "use" it- like in a paid position..... It has benefitted us greatly regardless @orpheus

Just here for any opportunity to remember the best part of it. And I'm not in to credentialism.

The people, sense of freedom and any excuse for an occasion. Small heads, big potatoes. I'd hope anyone reading this who's on the fence would seek that at least as much as their academic exploits. I know times are different but set and setting needn't necessarily be a campus university.

To recall is joyous but also a little sad for the distance. Memory can be a tough cookie for me. Don't be me.

in 2002, I enrolled at Harvard for my PhD in Nuclear Engineering, it was there that I came up with the GENIUS idea of Facebook but had my idea STOLEN by a typical Zionist rodent Mark Zuckerburg, there was nothing I could do except drop out in shame

After that, I invented a time machine then went back in time to 1974 To invent MicroHard - one of the most promising software engineering companies for the next century, in 1975 I met "Stone Cold" William "Bill" Gates who stole my idea and re-branded it called Microsoft

After I lost everything again, I AGAIN used my time machine to go back to the year 2002, when I was in Kindergarten - I approached the 5-year old version of myself and convinced him to DROP OUT OF SCHOOL, he agreed. The 5-year old version of myself agreed because I had trouble coloring in the lines and was frustrated at my inability to adapt to the prison they call "school"

So yea, after I dropped out of school - I got my degree off Silk Road, paid some guy $5 and he made all my dreams come true - a PROUD MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GRADUATE PHD
