1. Philosophy (actual philosophy not basic "whoaaa dude" stuff found among normies)

2. History (again: actual history, critical analysis of primary sources, method, etc., not LARPers talking about how based Napoleon was).

3. Semiotics (rarely does anyone try to fain expertise on this one, which is good).

4. Mathematics

5. Political Science (the applied discipline of philosophy, history, semiotics, and mathematics).

>History
Midwits flock to history because that field requires zero amount of rigor or meaningful insight. There is no actualization, it's absorbing knowledge for the sake of absorbing knowledge essentially.

>Political Science (the applied discipline of philosophy, history, semiotics, and mathematics).

Signs: An Introduction to Semiotics.
I'm no expert on semiotics, but I would think an introductory guide would be a good place to start.

>History requires zero amount of rigor or meaningful insight

History is entirely rigor and meaningful insight. If you think history is just the collection of information, you don't know what history is. Historians select what is meaningful and throw out what is garbage. What is useful and what is trivial isn't always clear. They analyze history and revise it in light of new information. They culminate all fields, and make political, social, cultural, and economic analyses from their findings in the events of history.
