Nice video! I’m trying to finish up my PhD by May of 2025. Everything Peter said is exactly on point. The greatest similarity between Judo (any sport really) and a PhD is the willingness to accept failure and try to understand where you went wrong.
The exercising of using the ACC part of the brain when practicing judo is when I make my do things that I don't want to do because it is difficult (suckage). As a result of having a strong ACC from judo, I completed my PhD program doing many things I would prefer not to do.
I really enjoyed this! It's always interesting to hear how PhDs work in different fields. The martial arts metaphors were cool, too. I'd offer a friendly revision, I think the dissertation proposal is more like presenting a gameplan for a competition to your coaches and saying "this is how I'm going to medal at x competition." Then they look at it and either say "that could work," or decide it has no chance. Best of luck on the defense! Finish strong!
Oh, interesting. As a judoka and (for way too many years) PhD student, I felt targeted by this one. After I'm able to listen to it all, I may have some of my own experiences/perspectives to share.
Do you mean or the reviewers or the article authors? For authors, publication is essential for getting promotions in academia (job security). For reviewers, you can list reviews on your CV as "service to the discipline" which is important, though less important than publications, for achieving tenure and other promotions. Usually, peer reviewers have already published in the field.
so Bruce Lee had a PhD because he did research and created something new "Jeet Kune Do" and convinced others that it was a "theory" of martial arts that was worth adding to "accepted theories" of martial arts, while Frank Dux has a "PhD" from a diploma mill

Allot of good analogies this subject really allowed Peter to shine.
watching this to procrastinate writing my personal statement

This was surprisingly one of the best shintaro podcasts ive listened to.
I was absolutely intrigued with this episode! I greatly appreciate the analogies to judo and BJJ.

Peter went to Princeton? Wow… here i am thinking he just had the sweatshirt 😊
Thanks for the vid
did I miss something ? I'm at 17 minutes and I still don't know what Peter is studying
pretty sure it had something other do with AI
What’s the incentive for peer reviewing?
