Why all the hate against biology and other non-math intensive fields?

It's almost if you think maths helped deliver your arrogant ass into this world, vaccinate you against shit diseases so you don't turn out crippled, retarded, or dead, and keep you healthy with safe food so you can continue to spend the rest of your life staring at a white board or paper only to make minuscule contributions to an already overwhelmed field and spend your free time on 4chan dissing other fields while everyone else is enjoying their personal endeavors, life, and socializing outside Internet image boards.

Faggot here who recently graduated with degrees in physics, mathematics (pure) and astronomy, going to grad school for condensed matter physics. Not even biophysics.

Stop shitting on other sciences to make yourself feel superior. Actually contribute to your field rather than jerking yourself off to the deluded fantasy that you’re better than other scientists because you read a different textbook than they did. You’re the cancer that’s preventing further progress in the sciences.

Sorry for the humblebrag, I only mention my background to prove my point that you’re a fucking shithead.

Math did. But so did a whole variety of other fields. If you can’t see that, then you are the retarded fuck.

C'mon, I'm sure you don't understand "all those complicated numbers and symbols" either. I'm as much of a mathfag as most of /sci/ is, but to say that the study of natural sciences, social sciences and humanities isn't as important as mathematics and it's related fields, is pretty fucking stupid.

Don't confuse important social sciences and humanities that have real merit in this world with postmodernist feminism bullshit and other such garbage.

You do realize that there are important fields fields covered under that descriptor, you know - economics, geography, anthropology, archeology, linguistics, history, psychology, public health, and sociology. All of which have importance in this world.

Only on a website such as this would you be able to find such unenlightened individuals (who I suspect are mostly uncultured undergraduate neck-beards) who think we can have only maths and its related branches, engineering, etc without other important aspects of human knowledge.

Science improves our lives and allows us to make huge technological leaps forward, but without other aspects of human knowledge - what's the point?

tl;dr
