Why is it framed that there are too many PhDs, and not that there isn't enough funding for research, art, etc.?https://twitter.com/bopinion/status/1346104350993768448 …

I think 90% of academia in general should be re-amateurized as a side hustle for people who have a living from other sources. I suspect a talented anthropologist would do better work if they could earn a good wage flipping burgers half-time than as full time researcher.
People don't get the extreme moral hazard of funding for PhDs from basically unaccountable sources captured by cartels of their own advisors. It's a self-perpetuating system of self-congratulatory production.

You're completely failing to value the deep expertise that we get from people focusing on a particular area of study for decades.

People don't get that the moral hazard of having under-educated, ignorance-incented, and short-termism-blinded politicos or business execs deciding all research funding is even worse.
