I was a comp sci major and philosophy minor in college. I was sitting with a csci friend and his friends in the only required computer ethics class. The professor started talking about some topic and I excitedly shared that we had learned something similar in an ethics class I took a year or so prior. I will never forget the way that friend of my friend physically recoiled and hissed “liberal arts” like it was a curse upon his tongue when said I was minoring in philosophy.
Well, it's always nice when the dumbasses mark themselves
As a stem major, listen, the humanities majors were doing a bunch of reading I didn't want to do, but they did seem to get to sleep. Unless they were headed to law school. Lawyers, doctors, and engineers would eye each other in the library at last call.
Sounds like two people who picked the right majors
I yearn to study the humanities. It's the only part of my interdisciplinary science where I feel like I'm literate or have something to contribute. No amount of mathematics or physics or chemistry classes made those subjects intuitive to me, but I can read social science/critical geography/critical ecology books like they're novels and easily contextualise that information across a dozen fields.
Try the people who double majored in humanities and the sciences. Sleep was a dream I did not have. But seriously neither are bad. If you can’t do it, you chose the wrong thing.
