Seems more like he is trolling philosophers to me. First year philosophy (followed closely by arts) students have the biggest superiority complex ever. I'm not saying science students don't, but nothing like some of the pseudo-intellectuals I have dealt with in the past two years.

I am generalising based on the ones I know, so maybe it isn't that prevelant, but my guess would be simply because they are in an academic setting.

They think themselves as smart because they are in a place of learning, where 'smart' people go to prove how much they know. However, unlike people with scientific knowledge and the knowledge of scientific principles, they don't actually have any specialised knowledge themselves.

They might actually be smart, but they've never applied it. Or maybe they aren't smart but just think they are. At any rate, the best they can do is grasp onto the broader subjects like philosophy and sociology and wank with their teacher.

The philosophy teacher at my Uni is a bit of a fucktard, making claims like Philosophers do more then scientists because they came up with the ideas first and science just 'takes them' and finds the evidence that philosophers already knew would exist. I guess it just rubs off on the students.

Not sure if being female is very meaningful. Minorities usually have some sort of need for everyone to know they're different (and then they pull out the racism/sexism/fagism card) unless they're jews in Germany around the 1940's.. Getting a bit off-topic here.. But I don't know. Considering that hormones do, unfortunately, have an effect when it comes to behavior, it does define me in some way and thus, is worth mentioning.

Also I'm a cynical, anti-social, heterosexual, non-ugly person with superior aryan genes. I have dogs and fucking love them. Oh and just so I don't raise suspicion, the dogs are female. Also, I have a tendency to write overly long posts such as this.

Pic related, it's how finns react to disasters that have nothing to do with them.

I work at the LHC doing groundbreaking fundemental research, and have advanced degrees in mathematics and physics.

For masters, I was in condensed matter, working on ferrofluids/magnetic systems, for cancer treatment delivery.

During undergrad, I worked improving on battery technology, and energy alternatives (biofuel).

I graduatd from a top 10 university (in the US), and make a shit-ton of money, only wokring maybe 4 hours a week.

your particle reactors are funded by us, the nice think about your Z machines is they can work on nuclear weapons, same as your supercomputers, same as your GPS, your space research (NASA is pretty much hand me down air force stuff, space shuttle is a slightly shitter Dynostar, Russia's space systems are blatantly missiles with people instead of ICBMs, etc).

Some of us though had issues paying for an undergrad degree, because we didn't have rich parents/refused to take the usery that is college loans, working nights and eating ramen sucks, and i don't want to do it again..

5th out of 6 year chemistry major. Fuck professors. They won't teach you shit. You'll be left teaching yourself everything. If you're interested in science, go pick up a fucking textbook and get to work. That's what you'll end up doing even if you're enrolled in classes.

Professors become professors because they think they are smarter than everyone else and they want recognition for it. In addition to stroking their own egos, they like pushing their weight around. They love weeding kids out, taking up as much of their time as possible, and making the subjects seem intellectually out of reach.

If you want to get into grad school:

1) ADDERALL
2) LOTS of Hard Work
3) Kiss professor ass

Keep in mind, you're not there to learn. Math Tutor DVD and Khan Academy are 10 times as helpful as your professors will be. You're there for that piece of paper and letters of recommendation.

Piece of advice for others who post their profession and major.

1) Do what you like (considering avg salary, respect, interest, etc.), not necessarily what looks cool.

Did 2 years of biology and chem (mostly bio). Then in 3rd year they make you specialise for the last 2 years. My interest/dedication did not go that deep. I went to college because i wanted to increase my understanding of the world, not for any sort of job or degree, and also partly because everyone else was going to college and i didn't wanna miss out. Was technically a student for 3rd year but did nothing and dropped out before the summer exams.

I am a researcher. I sometimes give lectures on Magnetoplasmodynamics, sometimes called MHD (H for Hydro, or MGD, with G for gasous due to Soviet influence) at major Universities and international conferences.

I have 2 Ph.Ds in physics from the best institutions offering those.

I occasionally troll at conferences. My best target is the ITER project in France. Worthless pile of shit they are.

Aswell as the explaination given in my post, I didn't want to put my life and my ambitions on hold for another two years, i've waited long enough. There's no way i could have done a proper degree all the time wishing i was doing something else. It would just be an insult to myself to waste 2 years and then come out with a shitty degree.

I'm only 21, so if in a few years time i'm going nowhere then i can always go back and study something properly (probably something more job-orientated).

>if i wanna write awesome music isn't what you did just rite?

wat?

I got/get a lot of hassle from judgemental people irl for my decision. Mostly from people who've never even heard my music (almost as if they just assume i'm shit), which is rage inducing. I was also surprised at the people who were most supportive, proving many of the personality stereotypes i had given people completely wrong :|.
