Finally someone says it
What the actual fuck am I reading?
>>8021476
That has never been proven.
Intellectual (me):1
Pseudo-intellectual:0
I am an atheist as well.
I'm just an educated atheist.
Here are my beliefs:
Empiricism, falsifiability, fallacy checking, the scientific method, the socratic method, humility, scientific consensus, etc.
I don't believe in jumping to conclusions or siding with an unproven concept and calling it proven with emotional fervor.
That's irrational.
The only rational thing is to remain neutral until something is proven true with experimentation or some form of evidence.
Presumption is never evidence.
>>8021484
Nice meme.
>>8021484
That's irrational.
>The only rational thing is to remain neutral until something is proven true with experimentation or some form of evidence.
>mfw somebody doesn't know the difference between empiricism and rationalism
>>8021483
sarcasm
someone believes doing a science degree is hard, and wants to shame people for not doing one
I wouldn't be bothered if the author's English weren't so damn bad.
>>8021500
Don't forget that:
>I am an atheist as well
>The only rational thing is to remain neutral until something is proven true with experimentation or some form of evidence.
Then why he isn't agnostic?
It is for me desu. I have no problems banging out math for 4 hours but my brainis mush when englishing a long paper. It requires a lot more mental effort.

thats cool. still won't get you a job.
The difference between a BA and a BSc is, I dont work for "The Tab".
This article sounds like hardcore bait though, and surely the only reason you posted it was for a reaction. So here's your +1.
>>8021484
got put in BA program after i didnt meet cutoff for kinesiology
sit around debating ethical issues circlejerking around excessive morality
argue against animal testing/ to block any research involving any ethical issue
drop out and go back to highschool

disregarding the obvious bait and source no one on the planet would read independently, they can say whatever they want to. I'm still going to be hired for 2-3x their salary and at a 10x more likely rate. Why were they so stupid as to choose a "harder" major with literally 0 job prospects.

Real talk a good 90% of all BA majors (humanities and writing-focused) are terrible at writing anyway. Same goes for 90% of BS majors being terrible at science. And yet these brainlets use the accomplishments of the 10% to try to argue for something that clearly doesn't apply to them personally.
When a science major is shit at writing, he's very often also shit at science. So it's not really a point of contention. And vice versa for humanities majors.
tl;dr everyone's shit at what they do and they really need to stop trying to argue for or against some delusional "they're after me!" mentality, and instead actually try to better themselves.

This is the Cambridge academic's equivalent of 4chan. It's edgy hipster liberalcore written by rich white students
>>8021476
It depends on who's doing that specific course. I'd imagine the autor of this wonderful work of academic literature would greatly struggle with a BSc. If she thinks it's easy she should put her money where her mouth is ang get a BSc or MSc in 'maths, chemistry or biology'. [Sorry physicsts, Alice does'nt know/care that your subject exists]
BA students must be pretty smart, they always seemed to have so much free time.
>>8021476
Is this what it feels like to be triggered?

They also must have fantastic memories, I've only ever saw them go in the library to have extremely heated discussions in the quiet reading area or check facebook when their phone has a low battery while I was reading innumerable papers like some kind of goldfish-brained moron.
>>8021484
I'm pretty sure this is satire.
>>8023519
I'm sure you spent 100% of your college career with your face in a book. I had plenty of free time in a STEM major.
In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of some phony god's blessing, but because I am enlightened by my own intelligence. - Myself

>I'm sure you spent 100% of your college career with your face in a book.
Of course not, I spent an awful lot in the lab. Especially in my final year.

It appears so once you get to the wine part.

Well, a BA in Maths in harder than a BSc in Physics, so yeah.

I kinda know why you think so ("hurr, physicists and engineers need to know math plus other things"). But if that's the case, why didn't a physicist or an engineer prove e.g. Fermat's Last Theorem?
>>8023626
Because they were busy doing things with real world applications.
>>8023633
Like building an EM drive.

Why does every jerk off what's the most rigorous major? I don't think an engineer could be a lawyer and the converse. There really aren't anyways to measure something of that nature.
I've known plenty of EEs/ CEs who struggled with physiology/ developmental courses and plenty of JDs that struggled with comp sci courses.
Maybe you fags should study something because you like. (Though obviously a history/ business degree is way easier to complete compared to engineering degree. RNs or anyone in any sort of state licensed profession probably have it the worst though)
>>8023634
B-but I need to prove that I'm objectively smarter than everyone else or I have nothing in life! :(
>>8021476
Actually gave me a good kek. Go back to memorizing vocabulary and leave the real brain work to the STEM majors.
>>8021476
I'm naturally gifted in English competency and very unnaturally challenged by mathematics.
I read maybe a total of 15 (subjectively good and complex, ranging from hard sci-fi to pure fantasy epics - most being 500-600 pages long) books from the ages of 12-16.
I never went to school (more aptly, I was expelled 6 times in two years for truancy - as a point), the only reason I even took my 4th year of 9th grade's finals was because I was on probation and would have been in "Juvenile Detention" at the age of 18 had I not attended.
And even then, I skipped my finals because I was let off of probation a week before.
Three years later I went to a CC for a placement test. I placed within College level English 200 levels of competency.
Math is excruciatingly difficult for me. I need to read the books through and through more than twice, doing all the work.
I forget it easily.
Anything beyond the processes of what I consider "simple math" (number association, times tables, divisor tricks, etc.) require me to memorize and work them over and over and over again for them to stick, or even make sense at all.
To me, anecdotally, the notion that English competency is inherently difficult is laughable.
Granted, I could spend three to four HOURS over a simple (5-10 page) English paper perfecting it to my will. But in every instance I put in that kind of work for my works, they have always come out top of the class if not the very best.
English is easy. It's a piss easy language. It's easy to manipulate (hence why rhyming within a specific subject is so easy), it's easy to understand, it's just plain fucking easy.
The universal arbitrator, pure Maths, that is fucking difficult.
>>8023618
So what? Every set can be well-ordered, that doesn't mean that it is the natural ordering. I mean I could order the naturals as:
1<0<3<2<5<4<7<...
It's well ordered but useless.
Im working on a BA and this is bullshit.

So did I and I'm retard-tier at writing papers.

The only BA comparable to a BSc in terms of intellectual rigor is philosophy
The only things I have ever found to be intellectually challenging are math, physics, and philosophy
>>8023889

You've read far more than the median American.
Yeah it does and I do it all the time, hun.
>>8023634
>there is no "hardest major."
but any engineering is the most time consuming when it comes to studying
There isn't a major out there where you can't copy answers in one form or another.
>Starting with title
>Starting with introduction
>>8024410
When I started having to do lab work or practical shit I always failed because I simply refuse to work.
Normal tests are easy because math is just pattern recognition and memorizing formulas.
>>8021476
But I know people that have gotten a BA in a science, and the reason they did that was because they couldnt pass some of the harder(more math) classes. If they could have, they would have stuck with their BS.
