ASD Loyal takes a stand

Nah. Liberal arts classes, if you take enough of them, prepare you to teach liberal arts classes. But that's about it.

They are required because half of the liberal arts professors would be out of a job if science kids weren't forced to take them. Kind of like the mandatory divinity classes a couple centuries back.

The perpetuation of the fascination by some with academia.

Can anyone think of a place outside of 4Chan and anti-vaxxer forums that is so hostile to education and science than this place? It was bad enough in the old days when folks like @Simisoccerfan were mocking the science of ACL injuries and trashing his daughter’s HS, but C19 has taken this place a whole new level. We’ve got the likes of @MSK357 claiming everyone is really dying of heartburn or any other thing besides C19 although there are about 250,000 more dead through Sept than in prior years. Must be the Zantac recall that’s killing everyone right? We’ve also got @happy9 flat out rejecting the truth of anything coming out of the mouth of an expert in the field or actual real journalist, cuz reality doesn’t line up with his “political” views. Then we’ve got @chiefs thinks this is all a big conspiracy by p**y teachers to ruin his life.

Seriously, an American soccer parent calling someone else a p**y? That by itself should be enough to make people realize he has no clue what he’s talking about.

I'm going to continue to clutch my emotional support beer and wait for you to come down from your self appointed exalted pedestal. It's ok and your constitutionally given right to emit what you emit. At a minimum, your output provides a very humorous view of the lens which you view the world through.

The “exalted pedestal” (and “ivory tower”) cliches are just code used by the anti-science and education crowd to try to bridge the legitimacy gap between them and those who a actually know what they’re talking about. Maybe using these terms still works as a dog whistle for your dumber than s**t like minded compadres, but most people have figured things out.

You must watch a lot of Brett Terhune. Funny that exalted pedestal in your mind is cliche (who uses that by the way?) and yet you use the term dog whistle - Page 3, paragraph 4A of your playbook.

I don't look down on your views. Quite humorous actually and provides a break from the real world. I'll clutch my coors light, continue to clean my duble burel muskit and wait for your excerpt from page 4.

Which liberal arts classes are you referring to? I took a lot of STEM classes, as well as the required liberal arts classes required for my major. I was glad I received a somewhat more well rounded education. STEM classes for the most part prepare you to solve STEM problems. There is a bigger world out there. English composition did actually help me to write better. Speech helped me to be better at public speaking. The state government class I took helped me to be even more sure politics was not for me. Macro-economics was interesting. Does Frisbee count as a liberal-arts class? I am rather proud of the "A" next to "Frisbee" on my transcript.
