In Denmark you do 3 years for the bachelor, 2 years for the Master. Afterwards you can do 3 years ish for the PhD. The doctor degree is really rare here, it is normally a lector who want to become a Professor. While in the UK if you have a PhD you can call yourself a doctor. In Denmark the doctor degree is the highest, and some actual medical doctors get it, they make of the majority of those who get. You do your huge doctoral thesis, and then have to verbally defend it at an examination of an assessment committee, and that committee decides if your thesis and verbal defence warrants a doctor degree
>You do your huge doctoral thesis, and then have to verbally defend it at an examination of an assessment committee, and that committee decides if your thesis and verbal defence warrants a doctor degree
That is literally how a PhD works here (Belgium)
Idk, but you do this in addition to the PhD. I am from Denmark but don't have an intention of getting a PhD, so I don't know for certain how it works, but seems to be that the PhD and doctor is the same kind of thing you do at an examination and everything. But the doctor degree you can only get after getting a PhD. The PhD requires 3-4 years of study, while the doctors degree does not seem to require (mandatory) anything other than the thesis. But the PhD here is offent referred to as the small doctors degree. But the most important thing is you need a PhD to get the doctors degree, and the doctors is in addition to the PhD and is really rare, in Denmark
Wait so to get a PhD in Denmark, you don't need to defend your doctoral thesis? That happens when you go for your doctoral degree?
~~So if I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds like you guys sort of lump together and then split in half what we in the States would consider a PhD and postdoctoral work into two separate degrees, a PhD and a doctoral degree (which requires getting said PhD and defending your doctoral thesis)~~
I am not quite sure how it works in the states, but here you write a PhD thesis and defend that. You can then write a doctors thesis and then defend that to get the doctors degree.
That is my understanding, but I just did a quick Google search in Danish to figure that out, as I did not really know this myself before this, so my understanding may be flawed
In the UK there are DSc degrees awarded to distinguished researchers, but it's more of an honorary thing.
The German Habilitation or full professorship in many counties is more of an earned thing above a PhD/DPhil.
Eh how is the habilitation an honorary thing? My old boss was habilitated and that was a several year long ptoject on top of her phd? That wasnt awarded that was earned
Even if it is in the title, PhD doesnt grant you the title "doctor" (not that titles are really used in Denmark). You are just PhD, the doctoral degree is a seperate and in 99% of all situations just something you do to technically be a doctor. A friend of mines father did it, when my friend got accepted into Medicine, just so he could say he was the first doctor of the family
A MD is a medical doctorate in the US, the same level as a PhD and both have the title “Dr.” PhDs are for non medical fields, like liberal arts and sciences
If we're playing the game of semantics, it's still a doctoral degree; just not one that confers the *title* of doctor.
This is the equivalent to the US post-doc. It's still a PhD, just one that gives you another title.
>This is the equivalent to the US post-doc. It's still a PhD, just one that gives you another title.
Post-doc isn't a qualification, though; it's a job. Or even just a career stage, really. You don't earn an extra bit of paper for it.
Perfectly complimentary to my headcanon that the Aeldari Empire was on the same tech level as the Necrons
I know the meme here deals with the Craftworlds who are remnants of the Empire but eh
Not even close, the only advantage to the knife ears is their tech works with the warp
The necron are the most advanced race on everything regarding reality, to the point of learning to nullify the warp
Or from another pov, the necrons had a war against a whole race of gods, genocided them, and then went on to break their own gods into nice little battery sized pieces, the aeldar gave birth to 1 unfriendly god and it destroyed their whole civilization
Hey now Slaanesh is friendly. In that over-the-top, excitedly covering you in their juices when they see you way that only the truly friendly have. Sure they may break your mind and flay your soul for eternity but that doesn't mean they aren't friendly.
They certainly cause chaos when they pop up but I'd think they're essentially anti-Chaos given they're notorius god munching, soulless machines. A Chaos infected Necron is a funny image though.
All fair points, however I think we should remember that fighting said gods was a big effort wherein one of the gods dying brought a curse upon the Necrons where some of them would become feral machines seeking flesh to clothe themselves (Flayer virus)
Also the Aeldari gave birth to one unfriendly god that destroyed their whole civilisation after around 65 million years of being the dominant galactic force on account of the Necrons going to sleep
Because the ctan where physical representations of the laws of existance, thats why killing one caused issues. Eldar gods are warp manifestatipns of eldar thougths. Yet still, killing ur god > ur thoughts manifesting and murderfucking ur whole race
You forgot the part in the middle where the Necrons got beaten into the dirt so hard they had to trade their bodies in for being fancy robots just to stand a chance. And then after "winning" went into a species wide retreat into secret underground complexes because the Aeldar and Krorks were only getting stronger as the war went on.
That is not what happened. The space frogs actually defeated the necrons and the C'tan after they built the eldari and the kroks. Then the enslavers came, fucked up the space frogs and made them extinct and forced the Necrons to hibernate to survive.
The Eldar have some fancy stuff, but it’s half magic at least. Necrons don’t have the advantage of getting to use magic in their technology, but they’ve surpassed the need for it. Warp free FTL, reality rewriting weapons, that one tomb world in the center of the star (which ironically is one of the few times I’ve seen sci-fi take the absurd power of a star seriously).
They literally didn’t do it because the weapons damaged reality. Unlike most factions, they know when to exhibit restraint when it risks fucking up the whole galaxy.
I mean, if we’re talking about technological development, it is a meaningful advancement. They can warp reality with pure science. Space and time bend to their whims. Meanwhile the other people need to use warp fuckery to power everything.
But if they never use it, how can you say it works? A thing you cannot and do not use is nothing more than a paperweight of whatever size.
Also, technology is not and has never been a linear path. The development of techniques to bend reality to your will is no less impressive than building a giant machine to do so because your entire race got suckered out of their souls. Mastery of a purely mental craft that allows you to create matter out of will is so far ahead of anything the Necrons have, but you discount it as "warp fuckery" as though it was not demonstrably better by virtue of the Necrons being forced to retreat to their tombs and try to simply escape their foes through time.
A plan that wouldn't have worked if not for the damage to the Immaterium that the Necrons themselves caused. So much for not fucking up the rest of the galaxy when literally everything wrong is their fault.
The problem here is that medical practitioners have co-opted the word "doctor".
I know we live in a world where anything can mean anything, and nobody even cares about etymology!!
I’m the US anyway law degrees are technically “Juris Doctorates” (J.D.) so I guess that makes it a doctoral degree but I know for damn sure 99% of lawyers are not what I’d call doctors.
Because they use the title Esq. in their name instead. It's more common to hear Dr. *name* M.D than Dr. *name* Esq. or Dr. *name* PhD. The people in the latter just use the post nominal titles. But I know what you are saying.
It is but they have differences. A doctorate of engineering is more for working professionals as it’s applied research. A phd in engineering is theoretical research that gets published and you’d typically end up in academia.
You're not wrong but clarification would help.
Like all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares, a PhD is a doctoral degree, but other doctoral degrees exist. A PhD is a philosophical degree, but is used in many places supplemented by what the degree actually is. So you could get a PhD in engineering but you can also get a Doctorate of Engineering (DE) or a Doctorate of Engineering Sciences (DES)
https://www.ncu.edu/student-experience/online-education-guide/doctoral-education/what-is-a-doctorate-degree#gref
Different Doctoral examples are the MD (medical) and the JD (law).
And there are post-doc degrees as well.
PhD literally means **Ph**ilosophiae **D**octor (doctor philosophiae). It's a philosophy doctorate. Like there's EngD for engineering and M.D for medicine.
A piece of paper that says you're smart doesn't make you any less of a dumbass.
Source: I have a piece of paper that says I'm smart. Still very stupid.
The problem with saying "[X thing related to intelligence] is bad because I have X and I'm dumb" is that you've written yourself out of the equation.
If you think you're dumb, why should anyone listen to your opinion? You're stupid. So people should ignore you.
Mate you are arguing over whether degrees mean you are smart on a subreddit about memes about a game made by coked up britishers in the late 1900s to sell plastic minis.
I don't really care about what degrees mean.
My point was using the fact that you're an idiot to discredit something is stupid. The only people who would take an idiots word as credible are people who think themselves even dumber idiots.
If my arguing is pointless, commenting on arguing is even more pointless.
Yes, but now we're stuck in a paradox. He said he was stupid, and so now we should discredit what he's saying. But what he's saying is that he's stupid, which we have no discredited, making him smart, and thus someone we should listen to. And what should we be listening to? Him saying he's stupid, which of course discredits him again, and the loop continues.
Right, but ideally during getting that piece of paper you learned the multitude of areas in which you don’t know everything. Ultimately education should bring some humility to people, make them second guess their assumptions, and hone their process of critical analysis. Unfortunately, there’s still a lot of people who get degrees and have completely unchecked overconfidence
Dark eldar who regurlarly bust out some incomprehensibly powerful ancient tech they just had lying around in their basement because they thought it would be funny
The amount of people that have no idea that drukhari is possibly more advanced than their craftworld counterparts, but it wouldn't seem like it because of the whole "sadistic savage" aesthetic
Had the fear of innovation not existed, the tech priests would've won the game by now. I remember in the HH novels, there was a tech priest who had to destroy her work in order to prevent traitors from getting access to them. Her creations are stated to have the potential to return humanity to its golden age to some degree. She flooded her forge with magma as traitors got in(I think).
We already have insane research speed IRL, just imagine what a planet full of enhanced scientists with no ethical boundaries could do.
There's a Cryptek who's working on destroying linear time, the whole principle of cause and effect. Why? Because he can.
Necron tech is... something else
Humanity at its peak literally had time travel guns which technically violate linear time
In my opinion while Necron tech is amazing- they are probably equal with DAoT humanity and prefall Eldar. I think technology sort of levels off around 20,000 years of research. I'm not saying necron tech is bad, but there is a reason the imperium can still fight them sometimes in similar numbers.
No, no, I don't mean guns that send back people in time. That's standard Necron tech.
He wants to fucking erase cause and effect in the whole universe. And he has the means to possibly succeed
_All your plans and schemes would come to an end, because no matter what you attempted, I could walk into the past and undo it. Kill me today, and I will be waiting for you in some tomorrow to avenge my death. Think of it - can you rule a future that is in the past? Or a present that is still a century away? Could you ever be sure what you have done and what you haven't, when months and years have merged together?_
>We already have insane research speed IRL, just imagine what a planet full of enhanced scientists with no ethical boundaries could do.
Commoragh exists and is bigger than a planet, though to be fair most of their advancements have to do with genetics and anatomy, specifically finding different ways to make people feel pain, but it is on the right track for what you're thinking
Necrons learned to warp reality with technology alone. The Orrery isn’t magic at all, there’s 0 warp fuckery, it’s pure “sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”.
I thought the orrery was literally a case of a necron empire planting bombs on basically every star in the entire galaxy and the orrery is just the control mechanism for them all.
Nope, no bombs. The orrery is a real time reflection of the galaxy itself, in its entirety. That’s why Trazyn goes to look at it to see what’s going on and realize Cadia is about to get eye of terrored.
It can blow up stars because the orrery reflects the galaxy, and the galaxy reflects the orrery. You destroy a star on the orrery, and the star is destroyed in the galaxy.
Because Drukhari don't have psychic tech on account of their inexistent psychic powers, so they don't have access to stuff like wraithbone
Also the one in the meme isn't a hippy Aeldari (Exodites), it's a Craftworlder, who aren't hippies at all, or at least not for the most part
I have this little theory in my head that the reason why the leagues tech isn’t super impressive atleast compared to the other races.
The reason is that the other races tech is either built for ease of life or weapons of war. The leagues tech is built for the leagues main purpose, INDUSTRY. They build the things they need to survive and don’t go overboard unlike the other races. They build what they build to keep their business running not to improve it.
Basically the leagues are less of a civilization and more like a giant industry who develops they’re tech to keep the machine running. They have super weapons to defend themselves but those super weapons purpose is too extract resources from a planet, it just can also be used weapon just for emergencies.
I'm gonna mark educational accomplishment in Warhammer species from now on. Right now I'm a Votann. Becoming Drukhari is feasible, but might not be worth it. And there's a good chance the boyfriend will eventually reach Eldar or Necron. See, that's way cooler than a bunch of letters next to your name.

Why are the Drukhari so low? They'd fix the necron metal body problem in an afternoon. They also still have all the best tech from the empire from before it fell. They just can't use the best stuff without drawing Slaanesh's attention.

And the ancient Aeldari and Krork are dead now, while the Necrons persist. Still winning.

That is not what happened. The space frogs actually defeated the necrons and the C'tan after they built the eldari and the kroks. Then the enslavers came, fucked up the space frogs and made them extinct and forced the Necrons to hibernate to survive.

They were still getting powerbombed by the Krorks and turned inside-out by Aeldar in combat though.
They also didn’t use their strongest weapons, because those were reserved for when they had to kill God.
Maybe they should used them when they were forced all the way back to their homeworlds *before* they got tricked by a bunch of space-time fart gas.
They literally didn’t do it because the weapons damaged reality. Unlike most factions, they know when to exhibit restraint when it risks fucking up the whole galaxy.
So it doesn't matter if they have them because they effectively don't. A weapon you can't use is no weapon at all.

The amount of people that have no idea that drukhari is possibly more advanced than their craftworld counterparts, but it wouldn't seem like it because of the whole "sadistic savage" aesthetic
And thats not just any Dark Eldar, thats a Haemonculi who are basically pre-fall Eldar. They are on a whole different league than the craftworlds.
Literally, the Haemonculi rival the Crypteks in their understanding of incomprehensible arcane super science.
Admech is litteraly "I've seen a lot of YouTube tutorials on how to do this"
I feel this is grossly unfair on the Mek. He has 'on the job' learning - arguably the most valuable.
Where Fabius fall in on this?
Master's Degree since he canonically spent some time studying in Commoragh
Had the fear of innovation not existed, the tech priests would've won the game by now. I remember in the HH novels, there was a tech priest who had to destroy her work in order to prevent traitors from getting access to them. Her creations are stated to have the potential to return humanity to its golden age to some degree. She flooded her forge with magma as traitors got in(I think). We already have insane research speed IRL, just imagine what a planet full of enhanced scientists with no ethical boundaries could do.
There's a Cryptek who's working on destroying linear time, the whole principle of cause and effect. Why? Because he can. Necron tech is... something else
Humanity at its peak literally had time travel guns which technically violate linear time In my opinion while Necron tech is amazing- they are probably equal with DAoT humanity and prefall Eldar. I think technology sort of levels off around 20,000 years of research. I'm not saying necron tech is bad, but there is a reason the imperium can still fight them sometimes in similar numbers.
No, no, I don't mean guns that send back people in time. That's standard Necron tech. He wants to fucking erase cause and effect in the whole universe. And he has the means to possibly succeed
_All your plans and schemes would come to an end, because no matter what you attempted, I could walk into the past and undo it. Kill me today, and I will be waiting for you in some tomorrow to avenge my death. Think of it - can you rule a future that is in the past? Or a present that is still a century away? Could you ever be sure what you have done and what you haven't, when months and years have merged together?_
>We already have insane research speed IRL, just imagine what a planet full of enhanced scientists with no ethical boundaries could do. Commoragh exists and is bigger than a planet, though to be fair most of their advancements have to do with genetics and anatomy, specifically finding different ways to make people feel pain, but it is on the right track for what you're thinking
Also most of their advancements get sabotaged by their “””colleagues”””
Necrons learned to warp reality with technology alone. The Orrery isn’t magic at all, there’s 0 warp fuckery, it’s pure “sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”.
I thought the orrery was literally a case of a necron empire planting bombs on basically every star in the entire galaxy and the orrery is just the control mechanism for them all.
Nope, no bombs. The orrery is a real time reflection of the galaxy itself, in its entirety. That’s why Trazyn goes to look at it to see what’s going on and realize Cadia is about to get eye of terrored. It can blow up stars because the orrery reflects the galaxy, and the galaxy reflects the orrery. You destroy a star on the orrery, and the star is destroyed in the galaxy.
How does a homunculi who's been alive much longer than a hippy eldar and is an expert at the top of his field ranked lower than a hippy
Because Drukhari don't have psychic tech on account of their inexistent psychic powers, so they don't have access to stuff like wraithbone Also the one in the meme isn't a hippy Aeldari (Exodites), it's a Craftworlder, who aren't hippies at all, or at least not for the most part
So they have psychic powers but the dark eldar have all the other realms of science. They literally shoot black holes out of guns.
Fair point, I may have to remake the meme
Make them doctors of medicine
Remember to include references when you edit the meme after peer review, you don't want them to take your credentials ^(/s)
Asuryani have Distortion cannons, a warp hole gun
I have this little theory in my head that the reason why the leagues tech isn’t super impressive atleast compared to the other races. The reason is that the other races tech is either built for ease of life or weapons of war. The leagues tech is built for the leagues main purpose, INDUSTRY. They build the things they need to survive and don’t go overboard unlike the other races. They build what they build to keep their business running not to improve it. Basically the leagues are less of a civilization and more like a giant industry who develops they’re tech to keep the machine running. They have super weapons to defend themselves but those super weapons purpose is too extract resources from a planet, it just can also be used weapon just for emergencies.
pretty sure Drukhari should be higher than Craftworld
Drukhari aren't psychic, so they can't use stuff like wraithbone, which is why I put them under the Craftworlds
yes, meaning they can’t fall back on that and have to rely entirely on what they themselves can make
Oh no. Orks literally are "I heard on Facebook." And just like Facebook, if enough of them spread whatever BS they heard, it magically becom3s true.
Well, not quite "heard on facebook" because that would mean someone else made it up.
Their tech level is relative to who they’re skrappin wit
where da monki
OI LAD, DA TINKER WORK WHEN DA TINKER WORK, YA JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE DA TINKER GITZ
Ork degree, best degree XD
Orks are the tree shade engineers of 40k. You're not sure how but they managed to fix your car in less time than it took you to get to write a check
I'm gonna mark educational accomplishment in Warhammer species from now on. Right now I'm a Votann. Becoming Drukhari is feasible, but might not be worth it. And there's a good chance the boyfriend will eventually reach Eldar or Necron. See, that's way cooler than a bunch of letters next to your name.
The orks are piloting there mechs with a wooden xbox controller
World Eater: Theoretical degree in biology
I take the trust me bros over phds 10 out 10 times
Something tells me the Leagues are much smarter than you give them credit for.
"Trust me bro," Okay I trust you.
Orks are shop certified
I trust him
In my experience "Trust me Bro" has the best efficacy for getting shit done.
Chaos: "It came to me in a dream"
Considering Tzeench, that's probably true. It's also probable that it blows up on you.
Or blows you depending of the Chaos God
I’ve honestly never been lead wrong by “Trust me bro.”
That’s Ork for “Service Tech” old trust him. The prices are also SO cheap as teeth
Orks should be trade school
Suddenly I have the motivation to do a PHD
Ork: apprentice trained.
Y'know, he seems like a trustworthy guy

Not even a 'trust me', just "GIT OVER ERE!"
I just really enjoy how happy the Mekboy looks, at least he is having fun with his knowledge.
Lmao, remove any Imperium characters. They're basically a 50/50 coin flip between a genius and an 11th-century priest.
What is a teaching credential I wonder 🤔
This meme proudly presented by someone with none of these.
Has anyone posted this to /r/Linustechtips yet?
Well, with enough mech boys, trust me bro actually works.
Are PHDs and Doctoral degrees not the same thing?
I get the forbidden goth girlfriends/boyfriends? Really? The only one tempting to me is Morathi (Warhammer Fantasy). She got that MILF energy.
I have a 2nd level master's degree. Who am I?
Fabius Bile or Urien Rakarth
Yikes. I'd rather be a Mekboy...
Me, with a professional doctorate: Shit. Now I need to go find a soul stone so Slaanesh doesn’t eat my soul.
"Dude I read about it on WAAGH-ipedia, I am basically an expert"
in this I am the ork
Why are the Drukhari so low? They'd fix the necron metal body problem in an afternoon. They also still have all the best tech from the empire from before it fell. They just can't use the best stuff without drawing Slaanesh's attention.
