More salient to me, is how well you did when securing the degree, and from where, rather than the number of degrees. For example, Justice Roberts graduated summa cum laude (the top of his class) from Harvard College, and magna cum laude (near the top of his class) from the Harvard law school. I find that impressive, very impressive. Graduating at the top of your class from one of the most selective universities on the planet, is no mean feat.

Ben Sasse has five degrees from Ivy League institutions. Who cares.

I agree with this. Degrees do not necessarily indicate intelligence. There are many people who have fewer, or no degrees at all, who have a lot more common sense and practical knowledge than those who do have degrees.

Cruz and Bush are further examples.

Examples of people without common sense but with degrees?

"In the 1960s there was a young man who had just graduated from the University of Michigan who was doing brilliant work in mathematics, specifically bounded harmonic functions.  Then he went to Berkeley, where he was an assistant professor and showed amazing potential.  Then he moved to Montana and blew the competition away."

Who?

This guy.
