There's only one way to get educated, and it involves starting with Plato, working forward, and then realizing that Plato was the wrong starting point. Just gonna hop back onto this discussion by quoting from a random point: STEM has a bad rap for being heavily about memorization and frameworks. While maybe at a few places that is true, I think it is a mischaracterization about the vast majority of programs. The problem is that you have to walk before you can run let alone fly, and the waking part requires quite a large body of knowledge before you can get started on anything meaningful. For example, while I can understand clinical oncology pretty well, it took years to get to the point-- I had to take intro bio, genetics, biochem, microbio (and the various pre-reqs for some of those classes) before I could get to my cancer bio class. Think of the beauty and logic in quantitative fields like physics, engineering and computer science-- think of how creative and how elegant solutions are to math problems that stand unsolved for hundreds of years, or the ingenuity it took to get a rocket into space. I can read about sort of how these things work and appreciate the human intellect for these things, but I can barely comprehend the mechanics and details of how all these things get done. Did your wonderful, eye-opening humanities education let you see how amazing and creative STEM can be? Or is ignorance (or something else) the cause of your blindness? PS. I probably read more books every year than you (if we want to measure dicks that way). | ||

It made more sense than Christie's gibberish about pharmaceutical companies somehow being held criminally liable for "price gouging." But still not much sense.

Rubio's response is almost as dumb as the question. Not quite as bad though. "Those are discredited attacks by Democrats." Can't you discredit it? | ||

I find that extremely unlikely (particularly the ACA). These moderators are actually such utter shit. | ||

I probably read more books every year than you (if we want to measure dicks that way). I personally got sucked into my studies by a few classes. I used to mock people who weren't math/physics/chemistry types. But in uni, after having a few classes on shit I was never exposed to in high school, I found it hard to spend that too much time studying STEM courses. There was so much I had missed out on. You are right though. STEM has its own beauty to it. I personally feel humanities courses should be offered more in HS so you get less of my reaction. When you get to uni you should have some basic grounding in logic, ethics, religion, sociology, pscychology, etc. | ||
