nobody calls new PhD's doctor unless you're a postdoc teaching a class to undergrads. really the main perk is calling any random professor you meet by their first name. and then when undergrads or baby grad students come to ask you questions along the lines of "Professor Susskind said blah blah, wat do?" you go "Well, Lenny probably blah blah." and then they look at you like *oh fuck this guy is on a first name basis with Professor Susskind* (even if you have never met Lenny)

i would agree for emeritus professors, since their only purpose in life is to be that old respectable dude, but if you’re a postdoc talking to a tenured research professor, then you need to act like you’re their colleague since otherwise they will treat you like a slave grad student if you grovel at their feet

Not only is that wrong, but in some countries you get a "Doctor" for each of your PhDs. If you're a woman in those countries you get a "Doctor" for your husband's PhDs too. For example, if you have two PhDs then you're "Doctor Doctor Whatshertits" and if you marry a dude with three PhDs then you become "Doctor Doctor Doctor Doctor Doctor Whatshisdick" after you take his name and titles.

>faggots making MD out to be anything special
Sorry, but merely making lots of $$$ because your virtually medieval guild has erected substantial barriers to entry to inflate the value of otherwise mediocre, grind-tier, technicians with no intellectual curiosity is not a sufficient basis to think yourself anything special.

It's amusing to ponder the butthurt on the day when transhumanism migrates the human self to a sufficiently robust substrate as to make these primadonnas obsolete. Maybe they will get a law degree so the honor of having "esquire" after their name might offset the sunset of MD being anything.
