I am utterly convinced that soft science advance degrees must be eliminated. No more than a bachelors degree should ever be required. As matter of fact, this must become a high priority if we are to save Western Civilization. The hard sciences intrinsically demand precise measurement. A practitioner must provide their empirical data to justify their arguments. 2+2=4 regardless of one’s ethnicity, gender, or claims of victimization. Someone like Jacques Derrida would be laughed out of the room. On the other hand, the liberal arts by their very nebulousness are easily exploited by academic charlatans and quacks. Those in power employ the ability to award degrees as a way of often forcing their students become intellectual prostitutes.
