I can't relate to doing things out of spite. I can recall many men from CompSci BSc saying things like I am "too stupid" & could never do an MSc, disbelieving I got accepted to do one at UCL, etc. The irony is they are just as successful academically/generally if not more.https://twitter.com/amandadeibert/status/1119200242908434433 …

I guess welcome to the real world. These is no justice. The universe doesn't care. Karma is not real. Things don't improve unless we change systems.

Two of the people who called me "stupid" (and whom I remember names, so I could check just now) are extremely successful: awards, multi-millionaire parents, investment banking jobs, etc. So living your life this way, as the tweet I'm replying to invites, is UNHEALTHY AF. Don't.

Argh, that's horrible - sorry. But I totally agree with you and, at times, I feel like I am doing a phd to prove people who continually intentionally or unintentionally think very little of me wrong.

I worry if you feel like that because sadly there are people who will never accept you/us no matter how many degrees we get.

You two are among the most intelligent people I follow on Twitter; it both saddens and engages me to hear that there are people out there who would say that you're "too stupid" to be doing what you are doing. You don't need to "prove" them wrong, imo; they already are wrong.

Ah, that's so sweet. But yeah, I don't need to prove them wrong for many reasons including that "stupid" isn't really something real.
