>STEMfags are just glorified calculators.

Is there any reasonable way how to counter this statement?

If they ARE a calculator then why do they need to use calculators?

That's like a racecar driver paying a hobo so he can ride around on his back to drive to work.

learn logic
learn math
learn physics

understand that this green statement is true

logics can be discovered by computers

theorems can be derived by computers, once a logic is chosen

theoretical physical predictions can be derived by computers, once the mathematical theory is chosen

I think I knew this already, but I'm just looking for any last straw to hold onto.

>>7393900
Theoretically, we don't need to use calculators. It just makes our lives much easier.

So do this and bring on the singularity, retard.

They are not.
A claim that is posited without foundation can be discarded without foundation.

So far, I don't see any valid counter argument.

Here's an easier comeback using logic.

Have them define exactly, or at least go through great lengths to do so, what a glorified calculator is.

Disprove their claim using several other functions STEM regularly performs that falls out of the scope of their definition.

Just explain to them what STEM people actually do.

computers can also make art, compose music etc
computers already make up the majority of stock trade and are capable of making business decisions better than people
