How is that possible??

Massive doublethink? I haven't talked with him much, and don't want to contact specifically to ask, but the post just made me think back.

And why would anyone do two phds? I thought that was just a hollywood trope.

I've got the one, and I often wonder why the hell I ever did it.

I do know 1 other person with a double PhD, but he figured "Nah, now that written half a dozen paper, I suddenlt realize economics sucks, I'm gonna do maths instead!" and got a 2nd degree in his late 50s. Personally, I would rather get keelhauled than go for another phd, but to each their own.

Agreed! I'm finishing my one-and-only phd at the moment (hopefully) and feel completely done with academics.
