Five lessons in how to earn a doctoral degree in Philosophy?

(1st) Agree with everything others say to you.

(2nd) Has not his own opinion, something superfluous in the XXI century.

(3th) When you perceive the desire to have your own opinion quickly find a way to suppress this
desire, appealing, if necessary, physics ways, for example, to write a thousand pages of thesis about
ancient thesis.

(4th) When someone asks you a new theory, repeat until the your will goes away: "for much less
thousands burned at the stake."

(5th) When asked what country you were born, say: "the country where I am doing a doctorate."
