No shit, no brainer...
MIT employs the invisible hand which typically has predictive modeling-like results: e.g., people tend to do shit for money. Does one need to go to MIT to figure this out? Well, at least MIT doesn't dole out the superfluous in the form of degrees.

Beats pulling one's eyes out.
Speaking of MIT...
Tecs, your MIT link reminds a guy of William James on the PhD.
But are we Americans ourselves destined after all to hunger after similar vanities on an infinitely more contemptible scale? And is individuality with us also going to count for nothing unless stamped and licensed and authenticated by some title-giving machine? Let us pray that our ancient national genius may long preserve vitality enough to guard us from a future so unmanly and so unbeautiful!
Amen to that.
