How do mathematicians not feel bitter when they are the intellectual elite, have a degree that indicates high intelligence, problem solving ability, and the ability to learn computer science better and more efficiently than CS students themselves, but none of that is taken into account by society and your left with wage opportunities lower than that of Engineering and CS drones that had to retake Calc 3.

How do you not get bitter and consider society a cancer? How do you not ever think that if you took some 2 year track or something for business that you would be more deserving of a high position in a company than the average wharton graduate?

Every EE I've met has been abysmal at turning solutions into code, even with VHDL. Unironically the best systems/embedded code came out of the CS department while all the EE and ECE people were Matlab/Cadence monkeys who thought their intro to C++ class was all CS ever was.

yes, but blaming older people for sticking to something is easy until you actually become old and realize how tiring it is to constantly reinvent your skillset despite your decreasing NGF/fluid intelligence/neuroplasticity Compare this to fields like public policy, management, or even research where intuition grown with age thanks to the core aspects of the field staying somewhat constant throughout your career. In these fields, the top level of achievement (president, CEO, Nobel laureate) is much older than the age of top developers, although this might just be a reflection of how new software engineering as a common occupation is.

The seasons were one of the newer additions as generalities, and the position of things changes slightly and evolves over time as the logic involved improves. The seasons being where they are is a byproduct of the 8 elemental categories that were already determined. That is the 4 primary elements dictate that, Earth is cold, the definition of a solid, material, ie earth, water is wet, fire is hot, and air is dry. That makes the secondary elements Life, which is water and earth, mud, how you grow plants, organisms, etc is wet and cold, oil, or alcohol, which is fire water is wet and hot, light is fire air, and dust is airy earth.
Then, when contemplating where the seasons go, you get 2 main choices. You do single association and say winter is cold, summer is hot, spring is wet, and fall is dry, which works ok, and put winter by chemistry and earth, spring at water and psych., summer at fire, and fall at air. However, it was deemed slightly more accurate to do double associations and note that winter is the cold, wet season, spring the warming wet season, summer warm and dry, and fall, dry and cooling. That shifts all the seasons by 1 position clock wise compared to the single associations.
It may evolve back over time or if enough people argue for better positions. As it stands, the seasons take up the quarter of the circle where they are placed, and it is understood that their position denotes the middle of the season. It means the beginning of winter, the Dec. solstice at Chemistry, which corresponds to the middle of the cold portion of the circle, that is the coldest position according to the orbit, even though the atmospheric delay and conductive delay cause it to still gets colder into January and February. So it's true that life needs warmth and energy to grow, but what does it grow out of? The cold and wet. Also, while life thrives in the spring and summer, it often starts its seeds in the middle of winter so that it can "be born" in spring.
