#stem vs humanities

[space-opera-slays]

My history teacher has designated me the science representative for our class, a stem student in a sea of humanity students.

Someone asked me forever ago whether I think dnd arcana is humanities or stem and I thought about it way too much but my answer now is that arcana isn't humanities OR stem, it's more like natural philosophy. It's science as humanities. It predates separating mathematics from metaphor. I think it's about the connections and patterns you create by theorizing the abstract layer that surrounds the material world, impossible to pin down but uniquely meaningful because humans have thought about it

#what taking a history of science class does to a motherfucker #my original answer was humanities which is an unpopular take but #as a useless degree pursuer i need wizardry in my corner #dungeons and dragons #obligatory disclaimer i'm talking about the academic tradition of my american university background #obviously there are plenty of other schools of thought that don't enforce this binary etc #but that's the point of the humanities vs stem question innit

one (1) dynamic from a show I watched when I was 12 is has a stronger grip on me than it has any right to, multiversal strength gorilla glue-ass grip.

bayverse setting isn’t conducive to Venus’ mysticism background so uhhh... i guess they argue fantasy vs sci fi genres? idk who would wear big naturals better, Gandalf or Magneto.

zombies, star wars, and star trek are neutral ground

#fanart shitposting #I need the kids to understand Next Mutation was trash #HOWEVER #it gave me my beloved daughter Venus #to which I'm eternally grateful #but skimming reviews of the show has been... strange #The supposed love triangle was baaarely there #Between Leo's weird listening pose #Mikey's thirst that really only spanned frm ep.2-5 #and Raph just being his regular ol' emotionally constipated self? #not a convincing case to me #Donnie and Venus didn't even really argue #Venus complimented him on his ingenuity #and despite his snide delivery he deferred to Venus when it came to supernaturalness #Donnie even expressed interest in the tools and items of her trade #(even if it was to contextualize it in his own westernized science understanding) #but they WERE peak STEM vs Humanities #for that I will always have a hearty chuckle

my humanities teacher to her partner (PhD in physics): ok but physics isn’t real. Like it’s all made up, if you really think about it. Sure, you calculated all that, but… how do you really know???

Him: *froths at the mouth*

#physics #English teachers are the best #the stem vs humanities war wages on #this is a joke #she’s got a point

I think you should adopt a strong prior that extensive discussion of the lack of value you find in something itself likely lacks much value. Unless the supposedly value-lacking thing is wasting some kind of resource and you are in a position to change that, it's probably pointless to spend a lot of time talking about things you already think are pointless. Because the main value in intellectual discussions is your own intellectual growth, and if you're right that a thing lacks value there is likely to be little intellectual value you can extract from dwelling on it.

In simpler terms: you will probably have more interesting and productive discussions, on average, if you talk mostly about things that you think are meaningful and important.

#navel gazing #@ like the entirety of “stem vs humanities” discourse

[thisgodwontforgiveyou]

I dont disagree with the point of this post esp bc its not really about christianity but this does come across as a strange binary to debunk when its kind of just factually true

#obviously good vs evil is a gross moral flattening which stems from christian dogma #but if any group throughout human history has had a singular Evil impact on the world #its christians #hence the reason the dogma exists

#Doodles #SCII #Helix #Schuldig #ZEX #And again the Captain implied from offscreen lol #Two little things ♪ One that Actually happened and one speculation lol #I really like Schuldig :D He's the likeable asshole type and his quirk is very well written :) #I love how he gets on Zelnick's case about his wishy-washy-ness in regards to xenophilia generally and ZEX specifically hehe #Zelnick has no good answer for him! It's so cute hehe <3 #But then he turns right around and is wishy-washy himself!! I get the feeling his frustration stems a bit from relating hahaha #Or maybe Zelnick's uncertainty influenced him! It's not such an easy decision to make when you're staring down the barrel is it now :) #Openly attracted to Max's body and flattered by ZEX's personality and outright attraction to him in turn but the alien aspect is too much pf #Sure right okay lol - I have no skin in this game so I'll have to take his word for it haha #Secondarily speculating around ZEX's attraction and standards lol it sounds like an oxymoron but no he is actually a bit picky! #Yes he loves humans generally but he is actually tempered by what mind inhabits what body! It's so interesting to me! #I think it's especially funny how his various desires are in conflict with each other haha #Like it makes sense that he controls himself around Fwiffo - poor thing would have a heart attack - but he genuinely seems less attracted! #Which makes sense to me as well ♪ Spathi and VUX share several traits and were on the same side during the War so he's familiar with them #And he's specifically attracted to differences and novelty - it all lines up! #And then there's also his pride lol he tries to make more friends than enemies of course but he still gets petty and patronizing <3 #If he's actually upset with someone /he's/ the one who would need convincing! It's all very interesting :3c #And then there's the matter of his own body vs. Max's body - he's so upset at the metaphysical implications of cloning his consciousness #I've never thought of ZEX in the context of the ''Would you fuck your clone'' questionnaire but I guess I know his answer now haha #Though I still wonder what his reaction would be to Max :0 He's probably not close enough to be ZEX but he is /a/ ZEX - of a sort #All his introspection about the body he's in has my mental ears perked haha - pity and worry for the potential life he's replacing #Discomfort at possibly being Max in some capacity including continuing to be in his body but also of overtaking his life entirely #And of being backed into a corner - Max is pitiful as well as pitiable! Neither of them want to be Max Vyer really #He loves humans but how far does that extend when push comes to shove ♪ It's been interesting watching him fumble through it :)

I went to the zoo yesterday! Last time I went to ANY zoo was back in middle school. I had a great time and I'll have to plan a sooner visit next time.

But I'll need to get a camera will an actual zoom next time I go!! These are the best photos I got!

Coolest bit was getting to see the keepers target train the polar bear. I watch those behind the scenes zoo shows on TV and it was soooo cool to see what they do on TV all the time.

#going to the zoo and thinking “my career path is wrong i need to work with animals” #coming home and watching jerma985 and thinking “my career path is right i need to create funny art” #never got STEM vs humanities discourse i love animal science and i love art #zoo

I know this is the arts and humanities website but I just want to say. The humanities aren't universally easy. Different people's brains work differently and take to different subjects differently. My brain really clicks with biology and I find math alright but really struggle in the arts. Just because the humanities come naturally to you doesn't mean its easy for everyone

#shut up me #re: a post i reblogged earlier #It sometimes frustrates me on here because uknow. one of my main hobbies is Media Analysis for Fun #but it just doesnt come naturally to me and i sometimes feel so dumb compared to everyone else #and i went into the notes on that post and found some weirdly nasty tags saying arts courses are easy and science kids shouldnt complain #I understand the importance of science majors taking arts/communication courses. but also would love if folks kept in mind #that a lot of science majors do genuinely find these courses difficult #really its incredible how different it feels for me to write an essay vs a chem lab report #running humanities software on stem hardware. I feel like im putting my brain in reverse every time i write an essay and it feels horrible

every day i barely restrain the urge to bitch about the social sciences

#☢️.txt #listen. all of the fields under this umbrella are legitimate and worth studying #but trying to group them with mainline stem is. silly at best #ppl always turn this into a 'hard vs soft sciences' thing but like. its not that! #im gonna be honest before i took higher level social science classes i didnt think much about this but like. the social sciences #place huge emphasis on the subjective nature of things and imho that goes against the very core philosophy of the natural + logical science #and like. that methodology WORKS for these fields. history benefits from a degree of subjectivity #but social 'scientists' always get pissed off that natural and logical scientists DONT consider that valid #in our fields!!! god the amount of social 'scientists' who insert themselves into physics discussions #using extremely complex aspects of quantum mechanics to justify themselves #while half of them bitch about being expected to know stats. is absurd #im gonna be real i think ppl are attached to the term social sciences bc they think thats the only way for those fields to be taken #seriously and like. thats the fucking problem isnt it???? #you want fields outside of STEM proper to be taken seriously but you continually reinforce this idea by insisting #fields like history and sociology Have to be sciences in the same way as biology and mathematics #and instead of accepting that. youre the humanities its fine its literally fucking fine #you do stuff that scientists dont do. bc science alone cannot answer every single question people have #the naturalistic + objectivist worldview is very good in certain contexts! but it has faults! #and the same applies to the philosophies behind social sciences! #you cannot use the techniques in anthropology in physics and vice versa. its fucking fine #also humanities people need to stop craving approval from STEM people its so. #you are reinforcing the cycle youre pissed off about

It would be a shame if you were a dark academia masc who looks like a boy but is anything other than a boy and we became enemies to lovers. So tragic... I definitely don't want that...

#👉👈 #if it helps i have a stem career #so we could start a stem vs humanities debate #but you end up teaching me how to wrote poetry #and i talk to you about math and ai #dark academia #wlw #wlnb #sapphic #chaotic academia #light academia #masc #enemies to lovers #spilled thoughts

Connected to prev post:

This is also another contrast between Sonic and Shadow as characters.

Shadow’s formative experiences with technology and industry pertained to preserving life, specifically Maria’s, and purportedly the betterment of mankind; it was later, when GUN raided the ARK, that he learned how technology can be wielded as a weapon.

Sonic’s just the reverse; Eggman’s industrialization stole his friends and destroyed the biome’s he called home. It wasn’t until he met Tails that he saw how tech might be used for good.

#Sonic #Shadow #Sonic the Hedgehog #Sonic is really spoiled for choice for foils #Idealism vs Nihilism #Duty vs Freedom #Fate vs Choice #Bully vs Hero #Outward Perception vs Moral Compass #anyway #this is also partially where Shadow’s resentment toward humans stems from #ofc there’s Maria but also forever complicating his relationship with technology #Bruce talks about

not to be a loser stem freak during these times* but, that post i rbed just now where ppl are trying to pick apart boiling water is like. chemistry needs to be taught better bc omg. im not saying the general public need to be experts in thermodynamics and kinetics. im saying these are things that should've been explained in a basic physical science/chem class and at a certain point u can't just keep using the excuse that the school systems are shit...
