I just witnessed this lawls-worthy conversation. What are the thoughts of you /sci/entist?

Person 1 : But, anyways, comparing education sizes is like comparing penis sizes. It's cool that you're doing the physics scene. All the cool kids do math or physics. The wanna-be cools ones do chemistry, and the lame ones do biology.
Person 2 : I do psychology because being a psychology student is fun
Person 2 : math and physics are for masochists
Person 2 : engineering and bussiness are for people who like money
Person 3 said to Person 2 : i was gonna do Psychology at uni
Person 2 : and english is for lazy people
Person 3 : then i found that i hated it at A level, so i decided it wasnt for me :snap:
Person 1 : purity.png
Person 2 : OR people who can obsess over REALLY OLD AND BORING THINGS
Person 2 said to Person 1 : purity eh.....
Person 2 : *sigh
Person 2 : yep how to tell the difference between people who know what engineering is and people whose egos are too big
Person 2 : also
Person 1 : Big egos!
Person 1 : YAY! :twins:
Person 2 : philosophy is the most 'PURE'
Person 1 : No. You have to say "mathematics is just applied philosophy."
Person 1 : That's how that comic works.
Person 2 : I'm not a hipster
Person 2 : so I will never say that
Person 1 : :ohyou:
Person 2 : that said, every one of those schools was created by the human mind. Psychology is the study of the human mind
Person 2 : ergo all of them are applications of advanced psychology
Person 2 : which is an application of language
Person 2 : therefore every degree is applied latin
Person 2 : <broke his logic somewhere.....
Person 1 : No. Psychology is the study of the behavior and mental processes. Study of the human mind and brain is a completely different science.
Person 2 : see there is actually some debate on that issue

>> No.3602713

>>3602712
Person 2 : brain-neurology, mind-mental philosophy/philosophical application of scientific knowledge as to mental processes, psychology-study of mental processes
Person 2 : mind is still psychology, just taken one step up or down
Person 2 : brain is neurology
Person 1 : OMG. You're right. It makes perfect sense! -sarcasm-
Person 2 : but the brain is a mental concept

He got that much right.

there's something interesting about this debate, but not enough for me to reply

>> No.3602774

Wher's that story with Feynman who didn't know how to get some liquid nitrogen, he had to call a teacher from a community college from Brooklyn. He said he was a theoretical physicist so he didn't know. It must be painful to know so much physics and not know shit about using it in real life.

At least we can agree that biology is not a science.

retards everywhere.png

math is subdivision of philosophy.

science is a separate subdivision of philosophy, which uses math as a tool.

physics is an experimental science whose causes can by speculated on by philosophy.

chemistry is an experimental science whose causes can be informed by physics

biology is a science whose causes can be informed by chemistry.

psychology is a science. Occasionally its causes can be speculated on by neurobiology, but generally it stands on its own based on behavioral experiment, like physics.

sociology is a science which uses the science of psychology as a tool.
