Hear me out. Here’s a tough pill to swallow. Unless you’re becoming a doctor or a lawyer, your degree is basically worthless.

💀 Especially that high school diploma you flexed like an achievement. 💀 Nobody checks. Nobody cares. And here’s the kicker—half the people hiring you are walking around with faked credentials anyway.

So tell me again why you’re drowning in student loan debt for a degree that holds the same weight as a counterfeit diploma off Craigslist?

📌 THE DEATH OF CREDENTIALISM: WHY DEGREES NO LONGER MEAN SH*T

Let’s talk numbers. Because facts don’t care about your tuition bill.

1️⃣ MOST EMPLOYERS DON’T EVEN VERIFY YOUR DEGREE

📊 According to a 2022 survey by ResumeBuilder, 87% of hiring managers NEVER check an applicant’s diploma. 📊 Only 30% of employers bother verifying college degrees at all—mostly in STEM and medical fields. 📊 High school diplomas? Might as well be Monopoly money.

🔥 Translation: ✔ If you have half a brain and can fake confidence in an interview, you’re already ahead of half the job market. ✔ HR is a joke—they don’t have the resources (or the motivation) to verify everyone’s degree. ✔ Phil, your HR manager, probably faked his way in too—and now he’s the one interviewing YOU.

2️⃣ THE FAKE DEGREE INDUSTRY IS BOOMING BECAUSE IT WORKS

📊 More than 500,000 fake degrees are in circulation in the U.S. alone. 📊 People are paying anywhere from $50 to $500 for counterfeit diplomas—and getting hired with them. 📊 Multiple CEOs and government officials have been exposed for using fake degrees.

🔥 Translation: ✔ Somebody is out there finessing a six-figure salary with a degree they bought online. ✔ Meanwhile, you’re crying about job rejections with a “real” degree that nobody even verifies. ✔ If your diploma holds the same weight as a fake one, what was the point?

3️⃣ COLLEGE DEGREES ARE RAPIDLY LOSING THEIR VALUE

📊 A 2023 study by the Federal Reserve found that nearly 40% of college graduates work jobs that don’t require a degree. 📊 The average student loan debt in 2024 hit $38,000—meaning most graduates start their careers financially crippled. 📊 Meanwhile, trade school grads make more than many degree holders with 75% less debt.

🔥 Translation: ✔ Four years and thousands of dollars later, your fancy degree has the same earning potential as a high school dropout who picked up a trade. ✔ Tech CEOs are hiring based on skill, not paper credentials. ✔ The only guaranteed outcome of college is debt.

4️⃣ HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS ARE A JOKE—AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT

📊 A 2021 study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that over 50% of high school graduates read below an 8th-grade level. 📊 Employers openly admit that a high school diploma means nothing in terms of job readiness. 📊 GEDs are treated the same as diplomas by 90% of employers—so much for prestige.

🔥 Translation: ✔ Your high school diploma is a participation trophy. ✔ Nobody asks for it, nobody verifies it, nobody cares. ✔ If you think your diploma matters, I’ve got some beachfront property in Nebraska to sell you.

5️⃣ THE ONLY DEGREES THAT ACTUALLY MATTER

There are exactly two career paths where your degree actually holds weight:

🏥 Medicine – Because you can’t fake a brain surgery. ⚖️ Law – Because courts have these little things called “bar exams.”

📌 EVERYTHING ELSE? 💀 If your field doesn’t require a state-licensed exam, your degree is nothing more than a glorified resume filler. 💀 Your marketing, psychology, business, and communications degrees? Replaceable. 💀 Half the successful people in those fields either dropped out or never went to college.

🔥 Translation:

✔ If you’re not in a highly regulated profession, experience and skill beat education every time. ✔ You wasted four years memorizing textbooks while some dropout got hired and learned on the job. ✔ Nobody cares about your “Bachelor’s” unless it comes with provable results.

The Academy Awards used to be a cultural event—now, it’s just an overlong corporate-funded celebrity meetup where the out-of-touch millionaire class gathers to celebrate itself. The general public? They checked out years ago.

✔ Nobody watches. ✔ Nobody cares. ✔ The films being honored are completely irrelevant to the average person.

The Oscars 2025 ceremony was no different—a self-congratulatory, politically charged snoozefest that proves, yet again, that this entire event is nothing but a relic of a bygone era.

📌 WHY THE OSCARS ARE OFFICIALLY DEAD

1️⃣ THE RATINGS FREEFALL: NO ONE WATCHES ANYMORE

📉 Decades ago, the Oscars pulled 40M+ viewers. Now? They barely crack 10M. 📉 Each year, fewer and fewer people bother tuning in. 📉 The majority of the audience is either journalists or industry insiders.

🔥 Why? ✔ People are tired of being lectured by out-of-touch millionaires. ✔ The movies being honored aren’t ones the public actually watches. ✔ The “Hollywood glamour” that once made the Oscars special is long gone.

2️⃣ THE OSCARS ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY

Hollywood still thinks it’s culturally relevant, but the average person doesn’t give a sh*t about what celebrities think anymore.

💀 People are struggling with inflation, real-life problems, and everyday struggles—meanwhile, Hollywood elites are patting themselves on the back in designer outfits that cost more than the average American’s annual salary. 💀 Most people who love movies don’t care about “Oscar-worthy” films—they just want entertainment. 💀 Hollywood keeps pushing activism over storytelling, and the audience is over it.

3️⃣ THE SHOW HAS BECOME A POLITICAL PLATFORM, NOT A CELEBRATION OF FILM

✔ Every acceptance speech is a predictable virtue signal. ✔ The industry treats the event like a corporate-sponsored protest rally. ✔ Actors and directors compete for “most progressive” speech instead of celebrating cinema.

🔥 2025's Oscars were no different:

Adrien Brody? Using his speech to talk about “inclusivity.”

Mikey Madison? Thanking the “sex worker community” in her acceptance speech.

Sean Baker? Lecturing the audience on the importance of theaters.

🚀 Here’s the truth: The average moviegoer just wants good films—not a TED Talk from celebrities who will fly back to their mansions in private jets after the show.

4️⃣ HOLLYWOOD'S SELECTION PROCESS IS RIGGED & EVERYONE KNOWS IT

The Oscars used to celebrate box office hits. Now? The winners are pre-selected by industry politics.

💡 Fact: The majority of Best Picture winners are films most people haven’t even seen. 💡 Fact: The Oscars refuse to honor mainstream blockbusters unless they check the right ideological boxes. 💡 Fact: The industry actively shuns popular films, treating them as “low art.”

📌 2025’s Best Picture winner? Anora—a film that 99% of the public has never heard of. 📌 The real most-watched movies of 2024? Films like Dune: Part Two, action blockbusters, and thrillers—none of which got serious recognition.

5️⃣ THE OSCARS ARE A STATUS GAME, NOT A LEGITIMATE COMPETITION

The Academy Awards aren’t about “honoring the best in cinema.”

✔ They’re about rewarding the best PR campaigns. ✔ They’re about giving trophies to the actors, directors, and studios who play the game. ✔ They’re about pushing Hollywood’s preferred narratives.

🔥 Nobody outside the industry takes these awards seriously anymore.

For centuries, men were men, women were women, and nobody had a damn identity crisis about it.

Now? Every other kid on TikTok is suddenly “non-binary.”

We went from “I’m a person” to “I’m an ethereal genderless spirit creature” in record time.

Why?

Because most of these people aren’t actually non-binary.

They’re just bored.

“Non-Binary” Is A Trend, Not A Reality

Let’s look at the numbers, because math doesn’t give a fuck about feelings.

In 2014, less than 0.5% of people in the U.S. identified as non-binary or genderfluid.

By 2021, that number skyrocketed to 5%—a 900% increase in less than a decade.

Among Gen Z? Over 25% claim to be “somewhere on the gender spectrum.”

Let me ask you something:

Did human biology change overnight?

Did evolution pull a U-turn in the last decade?

Or—and hear me out—is it more likely that being non-binary just became trendy?

Because if we’re suddenly seeing millions of people “discover” a gender identity crisis that literally never existed before, we need to ask:

👉 Is this real? 👉 Or is this just people desperate for attention?

The Non-Binary “Awakening” Is Just Tumblr 2.0

Back in the 2010s, this exact same pattern happened with:

“Pansexuality” (which, let’s be real, is just bisexual with extra steps)

“Otherkin” (people who insisted they were animals in human bodies)

“Demisexuality” (congratulations, you need an emotional connection to have sex—you’re just a normal person)

What happened?

It died off. Because it wasn’t real.

But gender? That’s the new hot trend.

And why wouldn’t it be?

You get instant validation online.

You get a special identity without having to achieve anything.

You get to be oppressed without having to actually experience hardship.

Who needs a personality when you can just claim a new gender every week and demand applause for it?

99% Of “Non-Binary” People Still Magically Align With Their Birth Sex

Let’s talk about how convenient this trend is.

Non-binary “men”—still act and dress like men.

Non-binary “women”—still act and dress like women.

You ever notice that?

They’ll scream at you that they’re not male or female, but 99% of them still look and behave like their birth sex.

They don’t transition. They don’t take hormones. They don’t change their physical presentation.

They just throw on a they/them pronoun in their bio and expect the world to rearrange itself around their new, fragile identity.

Because the truth is?

👉 They don’t actually believe they’re non-binary. 👉 They just like the attention that comes with it.

And in a world where being a regular man or woman is “boring,” what better way to stand out than making up an identity out of thin air?

Science Still Says There Are Two Genders—Cry About It

I know this upsets Twitter users with septum piercings, but:

👉 Every scientific study, every biological textbook, and every credible geneticist confirms that there are two sexes: male and female.

👉 99.98% of humans are born with either XY or XX chromosomes. (The other 0.02% are actual intersex individuals—a biological disorder, not a third gender.)

👉 No amount of “gender feelings” will change that.

So when someone says, “I’m neither male nor female, I’m non-binary,” what they really mean is:

🚨 “I am experiencing an existential crisis but instead of therapy, I decided to change my pronouns.”

And instead of saying “Damn, maybe I need a hobby,” they demand that the entire planet cater to their new self-diagnosed identity.

“But Gender Isn’t Biological, It’s A Social Construct!”

Wrong.

Languages across every culture—from Chinese to Arabic to Latin—have gender built into them.

Every civilization since the dawn of time has recognized two genders.

Animals, insects, and even goddamn plants operate on a male/female reproductive system.

But suddenly, in 2020, we discovered that all of history was wrong and Twitter activists are the new experts.

Sure.

The Harsh Truth: You’re Not Non-Binary—You’re Just Bored, Lonely, Or Looking For Clout

The explosion of non-binary identity isn’t a biological shift or a cultural enlightenment.

It’s a boredom epidemic.

People used to find meaning through:

✔ Building a career ✔ Raising a family ✔ Creating art ✔ Developing a real personality

Now?

People log onto TikTok, see a blue-haired activist getting 500,000 likes for saying “I just discovered I’m genderfluid,” and suddenly…

💡 “I’m non-binary too!”

Not because it’s real. Not because they ever struggled with gender before. But because it’s trendy, it gets attention, and it gives them something to put in their bio.

And the second this trend dies?

They’ll quietly drop it and pretend it never happened—just like they did with their Tumblr self-diagnosed mental illnesses.

Final Thought: Reality Always Wins

You can scream your gender feelings into the void. You can write 37 pronouns in your bio. You can throw a tantrum when someone says “sir” or “ma’am” in public.

But at the end of the day?

👉 Reality doesn’t care.

There are men and women. That’s it. That’s all there ever was. That’s all there ever will be.

And deep down? You know it.

Now go touch some grass.

Exhibit A:

A live demonstration of a time-wasting internet gnat mistaking their own irrelevance for importance.

They wrote a whole novel, and yet, they exist only as a class lesson in wasted effort."**
