Should philosophy and economics majors be as respected as STEM fields? I mean they are part of the High IQ crowd.

Economists have no skin in the game and make useless models. Philosophers dance to the tune of Cathedral funding, because they turn no revenue for universities in any other capacity.

Love of knowledge is not the same as the pursuit of knowledge.

Listen, science came from philosophy. Philosophy contributed a lot to scientific fields and even mathematics but now it’s outdated and useless. You know how astronomy came from astrology but now no one takes astrology seriously? It should be like that with philosophy

Philosophy isn't useless anymore because it created "science". It's useless because philosophers are the ones doing it.

Yeah this, from the philosophy professors I met in college at least every single one is a stuck up cunt who thinks they're as great as Wittgenstein because they got a phd and published a few stupid papers, and now the sun shines out their asshole and they're a tier of enlightened above us lowly peons. Even the weird brilliant math and physics dudes dont have the same level of pretentiousness.

Philosophy isnt valueless, it's important to think about how we think about things, but jesus the people who pursue it nowadays are terrible

If you specialize in mathmatical economics or econometrics then Yes

Economists have physics envy, and physicists working on string theory are just money launderers so no.
