Even though this is very simple trolling, I feel obligated to disagree here.

I really believe that media, and especially entertainment media, is of huge value to society. It really upsets me when entertainers say shit like "Well, now I want to do something that actually helps society." Entertainment IS helpful. It's used as social currency, it affects people deeply, it makes people feel better, etc. One of the first things humans did with language was tell stories, and I don't think that was some kind of accident. It's not easy to craft a good story, and it's not useless either.

[Anonymous No.2345021]

There was a time when people used to learn for the sake of knowledge, then you could figure out later what you wanted to do to earn money, then the ownership class decided that they needed more bodies to work the fields, so the government took over public schooling and made everybody think from age five they had to figure out what career they wanted and if you didnt have it figured by the time you finished high school you were going to be a bum or living with your parents until you finally give up and work at a gas station.

[Anonymous No.2345031]

>>2345011
That's one way to look at it.

Another way is to say that digital media and the internet are allowing enormous amounts of people to create their own media, mostly outside of the restraints of corporations, and many of these people release their media completely for free simply because they're passionate about it. I think that's really beautiful. And even if a lot of this amateur media is not very impressive at the moment, it certainly is going to get better as time goes on.

>6. The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments.

When you're anonymous, your responsibility over a post's quality ends with the end of the post. That is to say, when you post shit, people will say you're a retard, but they're only saying it based on the content of ONE post. That's not very harmful - except when everyone starts shitposting at the same time, it's called cancer.

However, as a tripfag, you have to be more responsible. You are being judged about ALL your posts; and thanks to the archivers, we have a much larger amount of data and we exactly know how to judge a tripfag. Mind the quality of your post when you're using a tripcode.

Now, there are good tripfags. Some tripfags on /sci/ are cool, and many tripfags on /tg/ are awesome. That's because they post worthwhile contributions to a thread and increase the board's overall quality with their posts.

While liberal arts are a lot more opinion based, they are by no means complete stranger to empiricism.

Speaking as a LibArts (Psych and Philosophy) major, this is true to a large extent. Subjectivity does tend to breed navel-gazing.

However, the highly developed use of language that most Arts graduates emerge with is hard to learn by any other means.

I'll probably end up getting a PhD in mathematics, but, if I could go back in time, I wouldn't trade my years studying philosophy for anything. The stuff I've learned is useful beyond a purely academic vantage point. So is math, but philosophy, not to sound cliche, is really the study of life.

Differentiate analytical and continental philosophy, put analytical philosophy in top tier.

Everything in that picture that's in top tier needs to move to mid tier.

Medicine, engineering, astronomy should go in top tier.

Economics should be moved up to mid tier.

[Anonymous No.2346522]

It's funny that engineers think they're the "master race", when in reality it's just tech school on steroids. Any idiot with a good work ethic can make it through, as long as they do the homework as a daily ritual.

That's the thing; most people don't/can't work that hard. They lack the persistence and drive to actually slog through all of those labs, all of the book exercises, the group projects, etc.

For original thinking, (unless you were an astounding tinkerer who built models, ran tests in the spare time), I would have to give distinction to liberal arts majors, specifically literature/philosophy.

However, for hard work (which honestly, is much rarer than intelligence), I would have to give to the science/engineering majors.

You're right, god tier is more suitable.

Economics is mid tier. I agree with that. Astronomy should move down to Top though. Engineering is too broad and should also move down, although Rocket Engineering/ Chemical Engineering is vastly superior to Civil or Mechanical.
Medicine requires a shit ton of knowledge though. As such, it should remain in god tier.

I said that.

I can agree with that.

No. Simply because it requires you to memorize a bunch of shit does not mean it should go in god tier. It fits much nicer into the top tier category.

I disagree. A good example is the use of metaphor in design; "We designed the building around the idea of a boat". That's the trick, not "And I think you'll find that this particular length of member is optimal", because students don't know dick about the reality of the application, and seem to take ages to work out that design is iterative.

This is the same, more or less, for any discipline. It's the academic criticism that's different.

[Anonymous No.2346554]

Medic here. You're a bunch of fucking idiots for trying to compare unrelated degrees like this. Whilst I did quite well at English in school, and my course probably does have a bit more work involved, there's no way I could get a good degree in English because epic poems like Paradise Lost and so on do absolutely nothing for me and from what I've heard about literary criticism it sounds really fucking boring. Different people have different talents, there's not really this ascending scale of difficulty or usefulness or whatever you're trying to point out with these inane 'tier' threads.

I agree completely, but we shouldn't be surprised. This is all human nature. We want to feel part of a group and nothing endues a group with a sense of belong quite as much as its hatred and contempt towards another group.
