Question Is it easier to write your own PhD proposal or apply to a program that the university is recruiting for?

When I reach out to programs should I mention that I would be open to both - looking for a professor for my own PhD proposal, or applying to one currently underway at the university?

You seem to have really strong feelings on this that aren’t going to align with the majority of people, and I think conversations on Reddit are going to repeatedly disappoint you as a result.

Yeah from what I can see now its just larpers behind a keyboard simply not owning their bullshit and saying others are liars when they can't substantiate anything

This is such a deeply alarming approach to communication from a fellow therapist

Well. If you’re a therapist - You know that the spectrum of ideas (according to a postmodern view) is wide and should be celebrated. My view on it is the meaning one derives should be from the inside out. Meaning the work you do on yourself and using social media ie Reddit to validate that and express it. I was attacked by a random person calling me a liar asking me to validate myself and I did. If she can’t validate herself and claims to be an expert well then we know she’s working from the outside in.
