Ok some of you guys have high IQ and instead of using it to make an impact in a STEM related-field, you use your intellect to make up stories instead. Explain to me your reasoning.

Modern sciences are only illusions, negations of the absolute, the ultimate principle behind all things.

If everyone's STEM then STEM-fags become useless, explain why all STEM-fag demand this world.

It's more satisfying, besides made up stories make the world run. STEMfags needs something to read in their free-time too, and a good story can inspire more kids to become STEMfags.

Also, my interest in math kind of outweighs my interest in literature, but shitposting about math isn't that fun.

Because stories are about human behaviour and human emotions, which are much more fundamental to the human experience than abstract systems of non-observable entities. A person can learn infinitely more from Tolstoy's Anna Karenina than from Feynman's Lectures on Physics.

I'm talking about the huge waste of potential of an intellectually gifted person who opts out of STEM. What if Euler, Gauss, Newton, etc, decided to write fairy tales instead of making important contributions to STEM?

But they didn't because that's not where their interests lied.
There are plenty of people who are interested in both liberal arts and STEM. Lewis Carroll was a mathematician/logician and a writer because both of those things interested him.

I'm ~140, but I'm also an emotional cripple. (I know, rare on this site) Literature is better medicine for me than lab work.

I actually have a pre-med degree and I love science.

For me personally, pursuing a stem career would set me up on a trajectory of failure because I don't like most of the people in stem. They've been memed into a false sense of superiority over the less educated. It'd be bad for me and irrelevant to the interest of society. Been there, done that.

>tried for a computer science degree

I am not smart enough to STEM. Besides, I'm naturally adept at writing. I would love to make STEM money, but I have not natural ability in math or coding. I hate them, in fact.

>> No.10227816

>>10227755
Wow, same boat.

I'm also going for a Comp sci degree, except I'm doing good in precalc. This winter break I'm going to focus on studying grammar and writing to see if I enjoy it. Right now Comp Sci is something i'm just doing, I have no love for it.
