It was a nice combination of expecting too much out of the students and trying to fit way too much into a 50 minute exam. This was undergrad linear algebra and most of us had just learned what eigenvalues/eigenvectors were, and problem one (of about seven, i think) dealt with stability of a 7-state linear control system, which almost none of us had ever seen. Granted it's a great application, but most of us were just completely confused on the subject.

Professions and occupancies generally draw respect in proportion to their practical applications, rather than the amount of effort required to master them, or their actual value to knowledge and enlightenment, perceived or not. That's generally why technical scientific and engineering professions tend to be lauded, followed by say, social sciences, economics, and a billion other jobs. Philosophy, being entirely conceptual is an easy target for derision, despite being a core notion in the foundation for knowledge and truth.

The problem with philosophy is that it's a fair number of people trying to take credit for things they didn't come up with by attempting to flush them out more explicitly and not succeeding. It's using logic without any significant amount of information or interpretation to come up with simple answers that don't work very well or don't work at all. Most philosophical problems could be better handled by mathematics or have no reason to exist other than butthurt moralists.

Popper, Ayer, Carnap, Putnam, Hempel, Kitcher and most 20th century philosophers of science are quite important for future of the sciences.

I still don't understand the hate /sci/, philosophy undergrads may sometimes be self righteous pricks, many aspiring to be lawyers or going on about systems of understanding they don't comprehend to sound smart or get pussy.

But most really just enjoy learning for the sake of learning, as most /sci/ folks do. There's no means end to the learning sometimes, just as there is no means end for a lot of the science that's done.

Not really sure that's any different from what I said. You basically admit your degree was not a factor in your career, and that's in line with the conventional wisdom that most people don't work in fields related to their majors. So why did you study philosophy? Would it have been impossible for you to acquire the same philosophical insights you currently possess outside of the classroom? I'm not assuming you had an interest in your current career path in college, but you did have an interest in computers. Why not comp sci? Just seems like a lot of philosophy majors tend to cover for themselves by citing the "critical thinking" skills they gained from their major classes, when they could have likely honed those very skills through a minor program or casual study.

I felt like I needed a structured course for my learning, I'm too flaky in many situations to want to finish something like all of Descartes Meditations without falling asleep, or getting distracted by the news, 4chan, drunk roommates or women. Being judged on my abilities to comprehend something like that allowed my to hone my thoughts on a subject matter that is for all intents and purposes very dated.

It's like trying to learn Japanese while in Alabama. Sure you can do it, but it's difficult and very counterproductive in an environment like that.

I'd rather spend the money and live in a place that affords the comforts of learning something like philosophy. The university is really the only place that can.

I can learn CS outside of the university, businesses promote it constantly. They always push to teach their employees. The WSJ comes out daily, there's nothing like that for good philosophy. Sure you can talk philosophy with people, but not things like Ayer, or Popper. Most people have a street value education in philosophy, talking about the Allegory, or bringing up Jesus with every other sentence. It's nice to be able to get lost in an ivory tower to study something esoteric.

He talked about how he would just sit in on some classes and talk with the philosophy undergrads, of which he was not one of them.

You have obviously never tried to learn difficult mathematics from a text alone.

I have (I'm not >>1929949), quite a lot of it in fact. What's so problematic about it?

Any calculus doesn't count actually. Calculus is piss easy compared to graduate level math.

My point still stands.

[Anonymous No.1930129]

Depends. What math have you learned purely from a text?

[Anonymous No.1930132]

>>1930109
You've clearly only took math classes designed for engineering students. These classes are computation based and not real math classes.

[Anonymous No.1930151]

>>1930129
Mostly lots of logic and related foundations (set theory, proof systems, model theory, recursion theory) in quite a lot of detail; also some category theory, computation theory and models, and yes, some analysis.

Starting a lesson on geologic time, Geology prof goes:
"Time.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day. Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town. Waiting for someone or something to show you the way."

I think only 3 other people in my lecture got it.

>classes
Did you miss the part about my claim that no classes were involved?

[Anonymous No.1930183]

I don't get it either. Except maybe that he's calling you guys stupid.

I find it easier to learn from text rather than lecture.

Keyword: Difficult. IE, more proof than words explaining them.

I believe you meant "e.g."

[Anonymous No.1930278]

>>1930261
yeah i know what you meant, and i said i work better from text. some people are like that, relax.

[Anonymous No.1930297]

>>1930275
No. ie is correct.

this baby's an automorphism!

he refers to groups as babies

i wish i loved math as much as he does
