For me it just reminds the importance of versatile education.
Also reminder that science is another kind of philosophy field with it's own special features just like christianity. Studying only one philosophy makes a mind one dimensional. Experiments are a great feature, but they won't make science the source of objective truth, since you can't possibly know what is objective truth because each possible interpretation is subjective. It would be foolish to think that something is objective truth while being a human, I hope you don't do it.

I'm studying for the GRE general right now and I anticipate taking it in 6-8 months. This graph doesn't surprise me. Recall that the GRE tests one's ability to dissect and synthesize relatively complex ideas, which is something that students of philosophy engage in throughout the duration of their education.

On a side note, I'm aiming for a 330+ and a 4.5+ on AWA. Any ideas/excellent resources?

Why do you think that?

>>10579017
It's not a surprise, philosophers understand math since math is philosophy, philosophers are used to thinking about edge and corner cases, and philosophers are of course good at extracting meaning from text and have wide vocabularies from reading so much

Congratulations, philosophers, on edging out English majors in language skills.

>science: it's just like christianity
>science: you can't possibly know
Thanks for your tremendous contribution, philosophy majors.

I'm a medfag so I really don't understand the GRE. If someone wants to get into a science PhD do they take the same test as people going for english PhD's? If so that's fucking terrible and the test wouldn't mean shit.

Because being a scientist is more than performing experiments. That said, I don't think it's considered enormously important compared to research experience and such.

It sounds like a quote from rick & morty. I wouldn't take him too seriously.
