/lit/ - Literature

I'm deciding what to do right now. I'm sitting between lectures. I'm following philosophy and CS and have a month to decide.

On one end, philosophy is incredibly stimulating and, if any of you dumb fucks followed even a lecture you would have realized that "self-teaching" is a meme and you are missing lots of stuff without a competent teacher (that said, I'm not in the US) but it is a humanities degrees and the fear of waiting tables for the rest of my life is heavy on my shoulders. Also, I fear that the almost complete lack of a mathematical/scientific background is - and will be - a hindrance for the field. Like, we talked about non-Euclidian geometries today and their implications to epistemology and I would have had no way to contextualize them if I didn't learn them in high school - and I still just have the most basics understanding of it I could get. It seems to me that philosophy nowadays has it's purpose as a contextualizer for what the rest of the fields are discovering, it's not a fuel of advancement just a !reader" of it - and I'm sure most of the philosophers we're studying wouldn't even study philosophy.

On the other end, despite being the scientific one I can stand the most CS is mind numbingly boring as an undergraduate and if I was just doing this to get a job and become a code monkey I would just kill myself - I'm pretty much hoping I can get good at it enough with time that I start to enjoy it and maybe get into research for some cool (conceptually) topics like AI or quantum computers or whatever pops up in the next 5-10 years.

What do /lit/? (inb4 kill yourself)
