Seriously, there is so much actual knowledge to learn from the world through non-fiction, I don't understand why you wouldn't read it to better yourselves instead of being useless liberalartsfags. Get real majors, so you know...you can actually better the world.

This again. You know that art is a necessity of civilisation, but so is science. They're mutually compatible in many cases -- I like both. Unorginal troll, though.

SciFi inspires me to learn about and get excited about technologies I would otherwise know nothing about.
I can't fucking wait for open source nanotech. Hopefully out before I get old.

Yes let's read 1000 pages of chemistry that we're never going to use. That's exciting and riveting. I'm sure it'll come in handy when you're at your accounting job or working at McDonalds. God knows we need to be careful with our acids and bases when we're driving that bus.

I've got an English degree and I work as a junior copywriter. I don't care about making the world a better place. I care about making you buy things so me and my bosses get richer.
