How can you consider biology a hard science when it is memorization of feline anatomy (not mathematical)?

>> No.4465681

How can you consider mathematics 'hard' when it is the memorisation of the methods of other mathematicians who have come before you?

Neuroscience involves empirical study of the brain and cognition. It does not involve rote memorization of anatomy found in vanilla biology or psychoanalytical bullshit found in psychology

Are you a retard? A derivation is a stupid arbitrary concept. Theorems derived from axioms are essentially those axioms in a different form. Mathematics creates nothing new. It is a futile effort.

You think that you don't need to study anatomy and physiology for neuroscience? You think that biology is nothing more than studying anatomy and physiology? Fucking idiot. I'm a neuroscience major myself and I group it under biology. Fuck, even my entire first year I took the exact same courses as biology majors.

The only hard fields associated with biology are biochem, molecular biology, and neuroscience. Everything else is soft and shit tier.

So let me get this straight. Biology is not a science, except for when it is?

>> No.4466218

why would "hard" and "soft" sciences enthusiast fight each other?

both types complement each other, and both types are science, whoever says the contrary is a troll and nothing else

>> No.4466230

your skills of deduction are keen.
this is a troll thread, a very very common troll thread.
any who entertain the ideas here contained are retarded.
