chads aren’t allowed on here. i was a good undergrad in stem at a good school and the whole time i only had one cute girl try to seduce me and only one fat girl try to also court me. and i am average-below average looking

even good stem students only get limited attention from girls. they are much more into the art majors and rich kids

As someone who studies STEM and philosophy, I think you're undervaluing a diverse field of study.

Philosophy is a useful field of inquiry for anyone who wants to better understand themselves, and I would think someone who loves STEM would relish the thought of more understanding

>best you can study
HAHAHAHAH, no, medical school does not fall under the field of "STEM". Truth is biology jobs consist of labslave work or walking into cornfields and picking up bird carcasses, minimum PHD to get a good job not like that, meanwhile Mr."I slacked through my algorithms class" is graduating with a BA in CS and making 80K starting.

I dont know why people lump philosophy in with the rest of the humanities as low iq, every metric shows that philosophy is one of the most intellectually demanding fields on par with mathematics. Even the classical humanities like history are pretty hard when you get to higher levels. Cant say the same about indigenous queer studies or whatever new bullshit circlejerks have been invented recently.

Here you go Friendo, although this one has philosophy math and physics all within a 4 iq point range, but philosophy is slightly below physics. I wonder if some of that has to do with fields of philosophy like "critical race theory" and "feminist philosophy" and "hegel" dragging down the rest.

Isn't CS the ultimate "get away with being mediocre and still easily get a comfy job with little to no risk of being automated anytime soon" major?
From what I've heard, if you know something boring but useful like COBOL or SQL you'll easily get hired. Or you can go the challenging route and go to grad school for ML, either way you'll be golden.

Surely Political Science is a subset of Social Science, and without a footnote there's no distinction between "Social Science" and "Other Social Science"? The same is true of "Humanities & Arts" vs "Other Humanities and Art".
