Right, you learn physics in physics class. You learn coding in other classes or on your own, because you need it for physics.

Every single fucking time. No one ever asks me why I'm paring those two together or they chime in saying I should double major in two "useful" subjects instead of one "useful" major and another "not useful" one.

Fuck you people. I liked theatre way before I knew I liked chemistry so I'm studying both. Also, I'm trying to go to med school so my majors don't even matter. And theatre actually is fucking useful if you legitimately involved with it.

dude, regardless of what people say for FUN and for LELS in 4chan, one needs to have appreciation for science or none at all. But then again, science is deployed throughout history to accomodate rule of the powers that be, so it's only natural that people like you make good scientists. In an era where said powers praise and award the mathematics part of logic, without which the domination of economy over all aspects of life wouldn't be possible, it's only natural for other sciences to fall back on appreciation. Geology is important because without it we wouldn't be able to excavate anything (from precious stones to ancient artifacts) nor make steps towrads predicting earthquakes. So you see it helps the ruling class as well.

It boils down to the way everything is presented.

Sagan talked about concepts in a tone and a way that made you think you were his buddy and his equal, that anyone could understand the concepts he was talking about, and that he was letting you in on this big secret knowledge for no other reason than that he was a nice guy. He talked about the history behind a discovery, the historical ramifications, what it led to, and how it changed humanity's understanding of its place within the universe. He was always quick to distinguish between fact, hypothesis, distant possibility, and his pet ideas. He didn't let his own personal politics permeate the show, except when he dealt with the possibility of nuclear war. He taught the viewer the concepts, allowed them to ponder further on what was taught, and accepted differing opinions.

NDT Cosmos tends to state everything as fact, making no distinction between hypothesis, possibility, and hard fact. The tone of the show is such that it tells you everything and expects you to accept it at face value, never acknowledging that it could possibly be wrong, treating you like someone who can't grasp any of these concepts fully without a complete scientific education, so you'd better listen because they're doing you a goddamn favour, you pleb. They don't really go into the history of discoveries or what they led to, and when they do they don't miss an opportunity to shit on on of their pet hatreds, be it religion, government, or anyone who doubted their holy truth of science. NDT is also a miserably bad actor and his presentation is horrendously bland most of the time. He tells you everything and expects you to just accept it without thinking, with a tone and a theme that makes it clear that he'll brook no dissension.

tl;dr Sagan teaches the viewer concepts and history, NDT just tells the viewer to accept everything he says.

I ain't even that good at math either and nobody asks me these stupid questions at school because I go to a community college and don't talk to anyone there.

>what do you study anon ?
-physics
>like what ?
-oh a lot of things , mechanics , astrophysics , thermodynamics , aerodynamics , quanti...

-not..really

Seconded. Personally, I'm also pretty turned off by NDT's attitude a lot of the time.

>>6948153
>memorizing elements on the periodic table
They don't give you a periodic table?
I memorised the first 20 elements in order and various other elements for fun, not because I had to. They always provide us with a periodic table.

He has a point. The rate at which we are extracting finite resources could be looked at as 'raping' the planet. But we definitely need those resources to keep everything moderately civil going forward. Our species could be using less though, if we stopped worrying so much about progress.

Economical forms of Hydrogen are needed though. Electrolysis requires too much energy input. Steam reforming of certain hydrocarbons and catalytic reforming of naptha are a couple of ways Hydrogen is produced on large scale.

I started at a community college.

The computer science degree at my university will probably take me 3 years but is ABET accredited.
Opposed to the applied computer science degree that will only take me <2 (not abet).

The applied has less genED and eased math/theory requirements.

Convince me the extra year is worth the money/experience.

/sci/ doesn't look down on non-STEM subjects. /sci/ looks down on bullshit STEM and non-STEM subjects. I've never seen someone on /sci/ shit on Economy, Finance, Business, Music (Theory and what have you), Literature and such. Yet, I constantly see /sci/ shitting on Sociology, Psychology, Biology and some CS.

It all depends on whether your field of study is a Tumblr tier, hipster shit (Women's Studies and Liberal Arts) or if it's a god tier, mathematically rigorous shit (Pure Mathematics, Theoretical/Mathematical Physics).

you can find much just from Wiki, about the field of geology
it evolved, developed quite closely over the centuries with the related field of paleontology (ancient history of earth organisms via study of fossils)

read some of Stephen Jay Gould's books

Uniformitarianism - James Hutton's 18th century theory of natural changes in Earth processes over geologic time, later given wider exposure in 'Principles of Geology' by (Darwin contemporary) Charles Lyell

Continental Drift proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century brought us to modern plate tectonics theory

modern seismology emerged from study of elastic waves, using principles of physics, and also informed geophysicists and geologists about structure of the Earth's mantle and core

Geology is fundamental to the oil/gas exploration and extraction industries
many geologists work in environmental and/or groundwater remediation

one hybrid field of geology (with civil engineering) is geotechnics, share much in common with engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers. Evaluating earth materials/subsurface for building construction, as well as geologic hazards such as landslides

typically the same first year math/physics as engineering students
avoid "BA" programs in geology, obtain a BS degree
if you enjoy working/being outdoors (rather than inside a building-office) then geology might be a preferred field for you

>>6950331
It's less rigorous than mathematics and less theoretical than physics and chemistry. It attracts dweebs.

It's still useful and interesting, and without question the best STEM major to pick if you are going to college with hopes of landing a well-laying industry job.

>>6942191

You definitely need a degree to be a cop where I live. Usually a 2 or 3 year degree from the policy academy, but it's something.

>>6950331

I can't speak for everyone, but I think most of the people look down on the computer science curriculum, and possibly the people who take it, more than the discipline itself.

That's how I feel, anyway. It's not a bad field, but the way it's taught, and the mindset of a lot of CS students, is bad.

>>6950316
Where does Chemistry stack up?

>>6950331

Part of it is memetic, and part of it is /sci/ dickwaving. There's nothing wrong with the field of study itself.

But, as the other guy said, undergrad CS programs do tend to generally suck, and they're often completely designed around what "the industry" wants at the time.

"The man who has no tincture of philosophy goes through life imprisoned in the prejudices derived from common sense, from the habitual beliefs of his age or his nation, and from convictions which have grown up in his mind without the co-operation or consent of his deliberate reason. To such a man the world tends to become definite, finite, obvious; common objects rouse no questions, and unfamiliar possibilities are contemptuously rejected. As soon as we begin to philosophize, on the contrary, we find...that even the most everyday things lead to problems to which only very incomplete answers can be given. Philosophy, though unable to tell us with certainty what is the true answer to the doubts which it raises, is able to suggest many possibilities which enlarge our thoughts and free them from the tyranny of custom. Thus, while diminishing our feeling of certainty as to what things are, it greatly increases our knowledge as to what they may be; it removes the somewhat arrogant dogmatism of those who have never travelled into the region of liberating doubt, and it keeps alive our sense of wonder by showing familiar things in an unfamiliar aspect."

At least with that degree I won't make shit money AND have nothing to talk about.
