Philosophy students are way more annoying desu. In every philosophy class theres at least one guy who won't shut the fuck up during lectures, and believe you me, everybody fucking hates him. And yes its always a guy.
Side note, when philosophy majors discuss literature they make asses of themselves

Oh, come on. Women are far more insufferable in Philosophy classes. Depends on the course though. Their "feminist" interpretations are hardly compelling. I do agree that Phil majors need more practice interpreting and engaging with works of fiction

Doesn't matter, most girls are to self-conscious/shy to intervene in class. There's always a guy that takes it as an opportunity to show how great of a philosopher he is though. you kind of sound like one of those guys desu

I do participate, but I am able to tell when it's appropriate to do so and I do so in a moderate amount as I do not see the class as my personnal playground nor as a place to show off.
>What is wrong with doing that if it helps you remember or understand the material and helps facilitate discussion?
Nothing. I think you may be misunderstanding what the type of guy we are talking about does even if you are one.

What did (you) do instead of going to university? Yes, university, because I can tell that you come from the third-world uneducated trashland that is the us (all lowercase for fake countries). You know, in the real western world, higher education isn't a commercial scam. I doubt that you can imagine how that is however, I even doubt that you know if there's anything beyond your "borders".

It's quite funny you merely LARP as "the european" when we all know for a fact you're from the uk.
>You know, in the real western world, higher education isn't a commercial scam.
"Higher education" in of itself is largely worthless, they are merely pseudo-aristocratic institutes built upon socialization rather than offering anything meaningful to an individual besides being "in" with the "elite".
>I doubt that you can imagine how that is however, I even doubt that you know if there's anything beyond your "borders".

That's probably also the only guy who read the assigned reading for the class or discussion section, lmao. I remember a class where we had to read a book where in the conclusion of the novel some lady kills an abusive boyfriend, chops him up, and feeds him to chickens. At discussion section the TA asked students what they thought about the ending. Lots of dead silence, and then some non-committal, vague, and nonsense responses when people were individually called on. It was hilarious. I finally made a comment like 'conclusion was fine but I don't think that chopping people up into chicken feed is a particularly universal solution for these things' and the other students looked at me like I was from another planet while the TA was laughing.

Not gonna lie, I do enjoy participating in open discussions during zoom meetings with my Phil classes. People often develop their own ideas after my contribution, either in the chat or in voicing their criticisms against whatever arguments are being presented in the text. There aren't many others who are willing to put themselves out there, and given that I give people something to either think about or disagree with, I think I'm an overall benefit. Furthermore, in breakout rooms there's more anxiety among my fellow students to speak up, and I've noticed that upon breaking the ice people become more comfortable. I sometimes get ahead of myself with tangents but then I become self-aware and make sure I'm not preventing others from speaking up. Your concerns may be warranted for some types of students, but I think that in large part you're projecting, nigger.

I flunked out of enginiggering and chose english and I feel like i'm using my mind in way more ways and learned way more things than I would've learned if I stayed in enginiggering.

Yeah, to history/polsci. Tbh I feel the opposite. I'm learning way more just reading and discussing with myself or my internet frens than in class.

Would've atleast been challenging.
