People assume it's a streamline process, it seldom is. I usually tell ppl I accidentally got my PhD 😅 Same thing happened, the acedemic landscape shifted while enrolled and half way through a study. My options were abandon yrs of work, or PhD.

Still…I’m grateful for your intellect, fearlessness and friendship, Dan. 👏🏻

You can go from Bachelor’s straight to PhD?

So many people don't understand how convoluted academia and grad school can be. Glad you found ways to make it work

My brother-in-law got his Master's and PhD in research pharmacology at the same time, then he picked up a JD. He became in great demand at a number of biotech firms, and currently works for the NIH (until either Trump or Kennedy realizes that he's Black). Is he "overachieving", or just achieving?

Dan, I've seen many of your videos, and they're all fascinating, but I don't think I've seen one where you discuss your own position.
Do you believe in God or not?

Academia always makes people jump through too many hoops.

Academia, man. If I didn’t get into UCLA’s program, I would have done a one year thing at Yale and it would’ve been super expensive and a scramble after that.

You’re fine. The content you create is so interesting. Education is nothing to be ashamed of but we live in strange times where it’s under appreciated.

Here I thought Dan was already a PhD with books and publications heading for tenure or full professor. Either he’s younger than I assumed or PhD programs in theology are really hard to get into these days

Is going from Oxford to Trinity Western not a huge step down in the reputation of the institutions? Did that hurt your prospects for finding your eventual PHD program?

The amount of people I know with multiple degrees because of mistakes, misunderstandings, or just plain being scatterbrained is very high. I got two bachelor degrees simply because I kept switching programs in my six years at university.

I deeply appreciate when you share something about your journey. Especially your education because I have none so I find it fascinating
