How true is this?

Some books are meant to share ideas and to confront you with a different way to look at a situation. By reading a book about humanities, you'll always win because it will either give you an insight on something you didn't know or confirme your former idea on the subject. Just chill down faggot.

I feel like this is the same thing with in the STEM field. Sure, if you speak about "basic" science stuff and tell non-sense, people will notice. But if you start talking about the application of quantum dots in biochemistry, I'm sure only a few people may have counter arguments for you.

The problem with humanities is that things are not as intuitive as in the STEM field, even on the basic levels. This make bullshitting a lot easier

Pre-med here, what's so special about me? If you're implying I'm a walking textbook, I am... But I garuntee you I still know fuck all about medicine.

Nah, it's pretty much the opposite, there's a reason why overestimating the breadth of your expertise is sometimes considered "Engineers' Sydrome".

>implying serious historians are a) the same as people who study things that end in "studies" and b) not worth listening to about history and human nature

You seem like a pretty smart guy, don't be so hard on yourself.
