Chaotic Evil
This meme uses a cynical take on academic pursuits (PhD) to imply that an activity often associated with pleasure (reading) can also be associated with pain, fitting a dark and somewhat malicious humor. The juxtaposition of intellectual endeavor with suffering leans towards chaotic evil.
