Back to /pol/ you frog faggot.

Fuck off, frog homo. You're on the literature board

>literature
>not humanities

really amkes u think

Humanities also verse you in the history of handwaving and how to see through it. Along with how to frame the unquantifiable in words. As with left and right dogmas, each has much to learn from the other and neither ultimately has any idea what's going on

>stem
>right or left

back to /pol/ brainlet

>STEM
>leans right
It really doesn't

Engineer here. All the engineering/math people I know are libertarians or alt-righters

none of the ones i know are
i know more rightists in my lit classes than in my stem ones

>STEM, where there is rigor and clear failure states
Not even close.

>leans right
Could not be more wrong. I've met many more people who are right wing in history classes than in my engineering classes. I am in my 4th year so I have had good opportunities to meet people from both majors.

>Engineer here
>my sample size of 20 people is a working model of millions of other people

This is why you're an engineer and not a mathematician

Business majors (lol) seem to be majority right wingers. Humanities lean left while engineering/stem are largely centrists or moderate right/left.

Kek BTFO

I hate engineering students they think they're the shit and all they do is plug and chug. You don't even have to get math to do it.

me degree was in math faggots

sure it was
dont you have a formula sheet to memorize for your next final?

>mfw i had the same realization as you but was always a math major (until i dropped out)

And to be accurate, I think "a closed and self-referential puzzlebox for autistic fucking faggots" can be applied to philosophy, too.

Funny, most of the physics professors I've known have been lefties.

It's almost like leftism attracts intellectuals and right-tardation (heh) attracts posturing pseuds

*analytic philosophy

Engineers are 21st century factory workers.

I've only ever heard of STEM people leaning left

Why do the mods not do their job?

Finance majors lean right

Econ majors lean left

You must be the smartest person in the world!

A hypothesis can't be non-falsifiable. Your post would make more sense if you wrote it prior to the quantitative revolution in the social sciences. As it stands you just demonstrate that you don't know what you're talking about. As a geology student I'm unsure how my field of study 'leans right'. All my lecturers ride bikes and are vegetarians etc.

Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of economics, logic and statistics knows socialism doesn't work cause you eventually run out of other people's money, also blacks have genetically lower IQ, that's a scientific fact. Imagine if we could make all the r/K selected aliens go away somehow, just look at the statistics, it's an improvement by every conceivable metric

Plebs focus on economics, patricians talk about money supply

Makes sense. cant blame em for wanting to have an easier time exploiting the proles and ripping people off.

>Left
>Right

When will these memes die?

There is only Big Money and everybody else.

Welcome to STEM.
Where people refuse to try things because "hurr durr I'm an engineer".
It's funny to see how hard it is for some to grasp abstract ideas or to actually read something.
Is humanities just as bad, except filled with YA-lovers?

You probably have a bernie sanders pin on your jacket you cuck

What if 'Big Money' is actually Jews?

No it isn't, nobody reading Lit. or History at a real University is a 'YA-lover,' good grief how can you internet autists be so delusional? Nor are the campus 'feminists/jews/BLM/cultural marxists' persecuting the white man.

>STEM, where there is rigor and clear failure states, leans right

there is at least one STEM guy who questions that science can perceive nor understand objective reality.

>“I agree up to a point,” said Hoffman, “that different organisms are in effectively different perceptual worlds, but where I disagree is that these worlds are seeing different parts of the truth. I don’t think they are seeing the truth at all.”

>Hoffman wondered if evolution truly favored veridical minds, so he and his graduate students created computer models of natural selection that included accurate perceptions of reality as a variable.

>“We simulated hundreds of thousands of random worlds and put organisms in those worlds that could see all of the truth, part of the truth, or none of the truth,” explained Hoffman. “What we found in our simulations was that organisms that saw reality as-it-is could never outcompete organisms that saw none of reality and were just tuned to fitness, as long as they were of equal complexity.”

>The implication, Hoffman said, is that an organism that can see the truth will never be favored by natural selection. This suggests that literally nothing we can conceive of can be said to represent objective reality, not even atoms, molecules, or physical laws. Physics and chemistry are still inside the umwelt. There’s no escape.

>“If our perceptual systems evolved by natural selection, then the probability that we see reality as it actually is, in any way, is zero. Precisely zero,” said Hoffman.

>Well aware that these ideas come across as woo, Hoffman welcomes challenges from his peers and other interested parties, and in the interview you’ll hear what they’ve said so far and how you can investigate these concepts for yourself.

So this is why you get no pussy

getting pussy is for plebs
true patricians go for boypuss

There are many. You people here just have no sense of what people think in STEM fields because you think Veeky Forums is representative of them. It isn't. People in stem are absolutely open to the idea of nonlinear causalities, gnostic cognitivr hyperrealities, self-transcending realities, any abstract shit you can come up with. However their goal is not to masturbate until they frame our misunderstanding better than the last guy, but to attempt to eliminate that misunderstanding and quantify truth, whatever truth may be. The only way that MIGHT work is through applied mathematics and nobody has presented a better way.

STEM predicts thing as we experience them. Reality in a noumenal sense is another story
