/sci/ - Science & Math

The Natural Sciences and Mathematics ought to be separated from their applications. Technology and Engineering fit better along with bricklaying, plumbing, and iron-welding than they do along with theoretical physics.

The non-meme unironic answer is that schools in the 2000s were getting big budget bonuses with "For STEM classes" as the title, and the humanities were getting scraps. What the art fags decided to do was say "aye bruh what if we use art to bring a new multicultural and inclusive perspective to STEM for the benefit of mankind", so that the invisible big-dicks in charge of budgets and shit would say "I hear the new buzzword is STEAM, lets write these budgets with bonus cash for STEAM shit". Now the new fiscal year budget comes out and says "15 billion dollars for STEAM shit", and instead of the engineering fags getting new multimeters or whatever, the degenerates in the art departments get new canvases to draw rainbows and black dicks on.

Isn't STEAM comprising of every major then? Name me a major that is not part of STEAM
>inb4 gender studies

Law off the top of my head. But I get your point, STEAM is a retarded meme.

>>10370878
>Science and math have universal truths.
>Art has postmodernism.
Artfags should kill themselves.

>>10370878
We’ve already been over this idiots.. the acronym is GSTREAMER

>>10370885

>>10370964
Economics and social sciences

They're each an art in themselves.

>>10370878

Steam is a pretty good game service.

I don't care if art people try to include themselves in STEM
anything to cope with never getting a real job

>>10371620
>separating statistics from mathematics
huh?

>>10371297
Those are all sciences and thus fit in the S of STEM.
>>10370964
History.

>>10371327
So you agree that they're completely different

>>10370885
>Engineering
you have to learn 3 years worth of field theory, calculus/linear-algebra and physics
not science

>>10370885

Technology and engineering are not blue-collar jobs

Replace Art with Economics and it would make a lot more sense. Good economics uses concepts like Game Theory and complex mathematical models like the subdiscipline econometrics.

But honestly I feel like we should split fields into "Theoretics" "Practicalis" "Humanitas" "Virtus"

>Theoretics
This should contain all fields that deal with sciences that aren't directly applicable and instead focus on research, academics and publishing papers. Physics, Most of Chemistry but also philosophy should belong here.

>Practicalis
Every field that has direct applicability on life. Engineering, Economics, Medicine, Trades and Skills should all go here

>Humanitas
All fields that are about humans and everything they do and did except if it has direct practical applications. History, Psychology, Law, Archeology etc.

>Virtus
All fields that are about creative expression and idealism. Art, Gender studies, Women studies, etc.

This way there is a rational objective divide in different types of educational institutions since these things are a lot more interconnected and related to each other. And would also break up the "STEM is great and the only thing you should go into". Because what people usually mean when they say that is that you should get a practical degree that is directly applicable.

Playing a musical instrument is proven to increase intelligence.

t. Never worked on a plant

>>10371701
So then the difference is that tech&eng actually have jobs? I can go along with that.

>>10370964
global studies

>>10370878
>not using STEM+C to remind people that computers are not technology

>>10371647
Art isn't inherently idealistic, the big issue is what counts as art. Many pieces convey actual messages or thesis. It's a form of visual rhetoric and should be under humanities with literature rather than gender studies

>>10371305
Actually, it's pretty bad and continues to worsen with exploitative DRM, licensing and taxation. Gog is the patrician digital video games distributor.

>>10370878
It should be SAM, Technology and Engineering are both employable.

>>10371700
This.

>>10370878
Lrn2meme fgt pls

>>10370878
STEDM wasn't pronounceable, so they hired a designer to solve the problem.

the A stands for Asexual

Can we please just move Archeology into STEM, at least

>>10370964
Philosophy

>>10376522
biggest meme in the planet

>>10376526
Lol

>>10376522
Philosophy is an art form. It's been said that philosophy is literature.

>>10376526
>>10376536
Have you guys actually read any philosophy?

>>10370932
10/10 well explained.
Let’s all break into the local art department and take a shit on the floor
Teach those art Normies a lesson

>>10376565
They'd marvel at the exhibit

>>10376540
Philosophy is part of the humanities (the arts). No one disputes this, as far as I know.

>>10376579
>no mathematics

>>10370964
i'm reminded of the areas in the midwest where they put up tons of solar farms and then when the usual rains came, the grounds that the rain would have normally soaked into instead pooled up on concrete and wound up flooding the road system.
stemniggers never think of any factors outside of their discipline.

>>10371327
>if it can make (((money))) immediately it's worthwhile
good goy.
but your technology and engineering wouldn't be possible without a model of the forces that make them work.
