Philosophy provides a good logical foundation for math and physics. I'm sure that he'll be able to find legitimate work with either of the other two majors and philosophy could help him excel at doing it.

Practice tends to be shaped by theory anytime the question of application of science arises, and also on a general level, through ideologies (personal, group, political, economic).

And your formulation of the a priori possibility of "a healthy, productive lfiestyle" is suspect. Such a lifestyle needs to be shaped by many ideological procedures on the collective and personal level which determine your notions of healthiness and productivity.

>go do some sciences and figure some awesome shit out that can help knowledge of what is 100% true along.

And what is social reality, human-constructed reality then, a lie? And why isn't its exploration and mapping out as relevant as technological advances?

How did you go about triple majoring? Like was it an immediate option available to pretty much anyone or did you have to overcome some obstacles first?
Also, what does your course load look like? And any advice for someone who wants to triple major as well?

>> No.3277529

>>3277500
The idea of a triple major was never mentioned anywhere. But I asked them if I could, and they said yes. It started because I was just in love with the subjects and I signed up for lots of classes in them, it just kinda happened. I recommend you only do it if you are seriously very interested in the subjects, so much that it is worth taking all the time to study them.

I do take a lot of courses although not as much as you would expect because they overlap. Still a lot though. It's a lot of work, don't underestimate it.

Overall triple majoring is a huge commitment but if you really are in love with the majors it can be enjoyable

I wouldn't expect a bunch of HS to understand the hardships of University but nobody taking three majors is going to be wasting time of /sci/. You can't even fathom how much work that is.
