PhD here. Indeed a lot of academic curricula are indoctrination and mostly useless bullshit. The Humanities are quite out of touch with reality.

My advice to students is to pay lip service and keep quiet.

PhD here as well.

My advice is to learn as much as possible from experts who study their fields for a living while you have access to them.

What does you having a PhD have anything to do with everything else you said??

A PhD would imply first hand experience of academia. I don't think they're using it to signal any particular level of intelligence.

A PhD would likely be very familiar with academic publications.

A PhD would be very familiar with publications...in whatever field they studied. Which they notably omit. PhD's are not generalists.

Comp Eng PhD here. I even see bias in comp sci publications. No field is bias free.
