If you don't have a bachelor's degree, that makes it rather unlikely that you could get a PhD. I agree with folks that you shouldn't bother - if you are right, you'll get your honorary degrees and Nobel prizes, and if not, then not. (I know I am replying to a five-year-old comment).

I also think you are too quick to dismiss the point of getting these degrees, since you in fact have no experience in what that involves.
