>they all seem to... ...think that STEM is just repetitive memeorozation
That unfortunately just goes to show their ignorance of the field. If this is legitimately the prevailing opinion on that board then /sci/ is the definitively smarter board.

>STEM is good for understanding basic stuff but when you go deeper its just memorizing equations
This exemplifies the ignorance I was alluding to earlier. The deeper you go, the less memorization is required and the more creativity is necessitated.

>while humanities and liberal arts teaches us more spiritually deeper and more practical knowledge, not just adding and subtracting numbers.
This is where I start catching a faint whiff of troll. However, da Vinci advised that the principles for development of a complete mind were to "Study the science of art. Study the art of science". Going purely one way or the other on this isn't going to be spiritually fulfilling either way. Wallowing in ignorance and applying ad-hoc sentiment to things will be dull and uninspired, and feverishly fact-collecting will be empty and lifeless. Borrowing from both sides, on the other hand, will produce exciting and invigorating work.

Ok, now I'm confused. Oh well.

Anyway, story time.

This drawing was only recently discovered. It was thought to be a 18th century German drawing, and some guy didn't believe it was he tried to buy it at auction for about 20k, but was barely out bid. Years later he sees it again in an art gallery and buys it for 22k. It's been, and is being, analyzed and it is very much suspected to be a drawing by da Vinci of one of Ludovico Sforza's illegitimate daughters. The current estimated price of the drawing is now 150 million dollars.
