Is there a difference between being STEM smart and literature/humanities smart? People often assume that liberal arts students are just avoiding math and pursuing "meme degrees" while society celebrates thinkers, philosophers, and psychologists. So, I'm curious: is it true that only smart people do STEM and less intelligent people do literature, or does each field have its own intellectuals?
>>78256913Just so you know, philosophy is closer to natural sciences than humanities. When you say smart, what I reckon the answer you actually searching for is which one is more capable/impactful/profitable. Regardless of whether we are talking about humanities or sciences, both have tons of extremely valuable members that have done an impact on our society. However, I would be lying if I did not believe natural sciences are more valuable if I had to choose
>>78256913 The real high IQ individual don't separate knowledge. He learns everything.
>>78256913Usually when someone is 'avoiding math' they don't have rich primary qualities, like texture over surface. You can apply good judgment to all sorts of kinds of fields of human knowledge.
>>78256913Semi related, but I always found it hilarious how American conservatives are pretty much anti academia and humanities to be more precise yet a lot of them love the Greek/roman philosopher aesthetic and can't stop bitching about how people in the past were smarter than us and they had it all figured out.
>>78256913STEM requires analytical skills and autismActually making art requires parts of STEM knowledge, a bit of insanity, and some skillsLiterature/humanities is just looking at art/people and grouping them in boxes I believe the difference is quite clear
>>78257330>STEM requires analytical skills and autism>Autism And that's ladies and gentlemen why stem is dead, normalfags entering stem thinking it'll get them become millionaires quick and universities lowering the entrance and graduating requirements are the reason why we don't get new cool shiny things anymore.
>>78256913It depends. Philosophy can be extremely difficult and complex on par with complex mathematics. But at these high levels both become nonsense.
>>78257370STEM is dead?
>>78256913There are too many STEMcels in this world, and too many anthropology girls as well. The only way you'll provide any unique intellectual value is by being smart in both of the two cultures and finding some kind of productive synthesis.
>>78256913>Is there a difference between being STEM smart and literature/humanities smart?One will get you an actual job and the other will make you into an annoying barista or macdonald worker that bitches about capitalism and the patriarchy all day on twitter with a slightly better vocabulary than usual.
