>Tfw you only know STEM enthusiasts who think that science/philosophy (and by extension the Humanities) must be at odds at one another, and who long for nothing more than the end of the latter

Some examples:

>"Scientists aren’t gods. They deserve the same scrutiny as anyone else"
>Yup. But unless you're an expert in their field, you're not qualified to scrutinise them.

>It's called the 'scientific method', and it is very poorly understood by people who, with a frankly embarrassing lack of self-awareness, demonstrate to the world that they have a really excruciating weeping sore of a chip on their shoulder because (a) they're not very good at maths and science, (b) they cherish a fragile belief that their ignorance means science and math can't be that important, but (c) deep inside, they know that a middling theoretical physicist on his worst day is still twice as bright as a first class honours graduate in arts or marketing or hospitality management or humanities or PPE or any other of those other booby subjects which are, when you come right down to it, the equivalent of intellectual masturbation.

Gotta love scientism :^)

I'd rather live in Schopenhauer's time than share modernity with these cretins.

>Man can do what he will, but he cannot will what he will

This argument was ended ages ago.
