That has never been proven.

Intellectual (me):1
Pseudo-intellectual:0

I am an atheist as well.
I'm just an educated atheist.
Here are my beliefs:
Empiricism, falsifiability, fallacy checking, the scientific method, the socratic method, humility, scientific consensus, etc.

I don't believe in jumping to conclusions or siding with an unproven concept and calling it proven with emotional fervor.
That's irrational.
The only rational thing is to remain neutral until something is proven true with experimentation or some form of evidence.
Presumption is never evidence.

Real talk a good 90% of all BA majors (humanities and writing-focused) are terrible at writing anyway. Same goes for 90% of BS majors being terrible at science. And yet these brainlets use the accomplishments of the 10% to try to argue for something that clearly doesn't apply to them personally.

When a science major is shit at writing, he's very often also shit at science. So it's not really a point of contention. And vice versa for humanities majors.

tl;dr everyone's shit at what they do and they really need to stop trying to argue for or against some delusional "they're after me!" mentality, and instead actually try to better themselves.

Why does every jerk off what's the most rigorous major? I don't think an engineer could be a lawyer and the converse. There really aren't anyways to measure something of that nature.

I've known plenty of EEs/ CEs who struggled with physiology/ developmental courses and plenty of JDs that struggled with comp sci courses.

Maybe you fags should study something because you like. (Though obviously a history/ business degree is way easier to complete compared to engineering degree. RNs or anyone in any sort of state licensed profession probably have it the worst though)

I'm naturally gifted in English competency and very unnaturally challenged by mathematics.

I read maybe a total of 15 (subjectively good and complex, ranging from hard sci-fi to pure fantasy epics - most being 500-600 pages long) books from the ages of 12-16.
I never went to school (more aptly, I was expelled 6 times in two years for truancy - as a point), the only reason I even took my 4th year of 9th grade's finals was because I was on probation and would have been in "Juvenile Detention" at the age of 18 had I not attended.
And even then, I skipped my finals because I was let off of probation a week before.

Three years later I went to a CC for a placement test. I placed within College level English 200 levels of competency.

Math is excruciatingly difficult for me. I need to read the books through and through more than twice, doing all the work.
I forget it easily.
Anything beyond the processes of what I consider "simple math" (number association, times tables, divisor tricks, etc.) require me to memorize and work them over and over and over again for them to stick, or even make sense at all.

To me, anecdotally, the notion that English competency is inherently difficult is laughable.
Granted, I could spend three to four HOURS over a simple (5-10 page) English paper perfecting it to my will. But in every instance I put in that kind of work for my works, they have always come out top of the class if not the very best.

English is easy. It's a piss easy language. It's easy to manipulate (hence why rhyming within a specific subject is so easy), it's easy to understand, it's just plain fucking easy.

The universal arbitrator, pure Maths, that is fucking difficult.
