Scholarship/PhD Syndrome

A very common condition in academia, especially with students between 25 and 35 years old. One of the most recurrent symptoms is the giving of unsubstantiated opinions, as the patient considers himself superior than his peers. Other symptoms include: (1) the need to publish many articles, despite bringing little or no knowledge; (2) defend the academic system previously criticized so much; (3) worry only about enriching his/her curriculum; (4) to live in the illusion that his/her PhD will change the world. As of this date, no cure has been proven to exist.

Michael has been publishing so many shitty articles... I mean, he's clearly suffering from Scholarship/PhD Syndrome.

Daniela is fucking annoying person to be around: she's a PhD student in Medieval History, but gives her shitty opinion about almost anything. That's classic Scholarship/PhD Syndrome...
