/sci/ - Science & Math

>the greatest piece of technology mankind has ever built
Do you mean this thing, or the robotic ketchup dispenser?

Howdy /sci/, so tommorrow Bill Nye will be speaking at my university and I actually got a pass from Res Life to attend a little meet n greet after the presentation. Yall got anything you want me to ask him?

Ever since the "We're not REALLY racist" people got /new/ deleted, the lost tribe of stormsrael has been wandering the boards, looking for a place where they can preach their religion of "white'uns are smarta".

And no, I still haven't forgiven them for getting /new/ deleted. The few % of non-stormfaggotry were pretty good.

A philosopher designs a marvellous sausage machine. A scientist comes
to marvel at this wonderful creation, and raises an eyebrow.
The philosopher says, "Ah, behold the wonderful cogs and sprockets and
temperature-controlled mixing chambers in my wonderful machine -
surely you can see how it must produce the most fantastic sausages!"
The scientist says "Yes, that is all very interesting. Show me the sausages."
The philosopher says "How dare you, a mere scientist, question my
wonderful philosophical reasoning?"
Scientist: "I'm not questioning your reasoning - I want to know if
your machine really produces sausages."
Philosopher: "Can you point to any flaw in my argument that it
produces sausages?"
Sci: "I don't know - I just want to know if it produces sausages. Here
is some meat. Why don't you feed it through and see if you get any
sausages?"
Phil: "And sully my wonderful machine with mere offal?"
Sci: "You said it was a sausage machine. I want to see the sausages."
Phil: "Are you questioning my ingredients?"
Sci: "I'm just questioning whether it produces sausages or not. Show
me the sausages."
Phil: "Ah, so you cannot attack my premises and you cannot attack my
argument. Therefore I'm right and you lose."
Sci: "Don't be such a melodramatic prancing arse. Show me the sausages."
Phil: "The sausages inevitably flow from the argument. You see my fine
machine. You can even inspect the meat & onions. The sausages
necessarily flow."
Sci: "Show me the sausages or I'm off to Tesco."
Phil: "You are a mere scientist with no understanding of philosophical matters."
Sci: "Bye."

So I'm curious about becoming a Social Engineer. I've noticed there is a lot of negativity attached to the title, and I was curious as to why? The concept of applying scientific method to social causes seems like a worthy venture.

With that said, I am also interested if anyone here can point me in the right direction of studying to become one. Are there any colleges with programs within the US that I could take? From what I've found so far I basically want to take math classes along with social sciences, but even then I'm not sure if that's what I should be doing.

hi
