philosophy is actually a difficult major but doesn't lead to many lucrative careers like the others, so it doesn't really attract brainlets.

[Anonymous No.9149075]

pretty bad, firstly maths is philosophical (maths ≠ arithmetic), secondly compsci and physics are largely applied maths, thirdly this meme has never been good

[Anonymous No.9149088]

You need to do two things. First consider who made this picture. Obviously it was made by a philosophy major. The philosophy major, probably unemployed and therefore having plenty of time to pat themselves on the back and make memes, portrays himself as the greatest of all.

Then you have to ask yourself who entertains the possibility that this is true and/or accepts it as true. They are probably philosophy majors too, or even more likely they are high school graduates (at best) who read "philosophy" (read: motivational posters) and need to feel superior to make up for the disaster that their lives have become.

I say all this as a philosophy major.

I went to only a decent state school not known for its humanities departments, especially philosophy, and I had two brilliant professors. Unfortunately one was a complete douchebag, but the other was great in every way. The program was still easy as shit, though. You could pass with pretty high marks while not really studying much at all as long you were decent at writing essays and not a moron.

As a chem major, very true.

Math major gives you the most opportunity to go into any field of work, whether it's business, science, comp sci. If you know math, you will always be wanted by employers.

I like much philosophy and literature but the abstraction, concentration and mental clarity level required in pure sciences (logic, mathematics), more if you want to be a investigator and not only a professor, is insane. In humanistics you can only talk a bag of verosimil bullshit about rare dictionary concepts like nothing, true or existence and pass at the story like a genius like Sartre, Hegel, Heidegger , Marx, Lacan, Derrida, Foucault, etc.
BTW I'm from Suda, so I'm sorry for the syntax and gramatical errors.

Maths degrees are always going to be one of the objectively most demanding of your ability to form logical arguments, remember facts and have them at your fingertips at will.

Philosophy may be more difficult than this in some cases where it is taught very analytically, since you need to be unrelentingly logical while also having good communication skills. However it may also be taught poorly and just like a social commentary class where all that's required is half-hearted essays on agreeing with what the lecturer said last week about whatever social grievance they decided to bring up.

In my opinion, maths should be number one most of the time, philosophy has the potential to be number one if taught properly though.

I am a maths major though so a little biased desu

I think there are some problems that you can tackle in higher level languages that are still rewarding. Coding low level has made me seriously appreciate the higher level stuff though.
