My English major cousin visited us this Sunday and she joked about how humanities fags are the only ones benefiting from artificial intelligence taking over tech and stem fields>Communication and critical thinking skills will be the most important attributes to have in the near future Is she correct?
>>85754294>Communication and critical thinking skills will be the most important attributes to have in the near futureTrue but humanities fags are really bad at both of those.
>>85754294nepotistic connections and being a quotafoid will be more important. your indoctrinated "humanities" course that ignores 99% of the historical scholarship of the subject/ reinterprets it through a liberal lens will mark you for execution come the revolution
>le curtains color needs to be interpreted for authors mental state!!And people get paid to overanalyze this shit and see something out of nothing. Why not put in a white willow tree in a scene and have people interpret it as an author willimg to "dump" their selves and it is used as growth:>the character walked past the white willow tree on oage 45. This means he's shitting out his past by taking a shit on a white willow tree. The willow tree is a fast growing tree and is symbiotic that the dumped past will fuel the character's growth in a quick manner.
>>85754294On the blue curtains xitterpost, I actually wanted to study English literature, and the thing about the humanities is that it should be as holistic as possible. So I've also studied western philosophy, rhetoric, linguistics, psychology, theology, world religions, world philosophy, and I've read a lot more STEM subject publications that you might expect. One thing that is interesting about neuroscience in particular is how memories are formed and the relation between the subconscious and conscious mind. Everyone has their own pet theories, me included, but it does seem to be the case that the way you process memories depends a lot on how intentionally you're "encoding" it. Dreams are so nonsensical because we remember practically everything, just in a very scattershot form. All the disparate elements of a memory image go off into different physical locations of the brain. When we dream, it's like taking inventory of your memories. You're rummaging through them in their encoded form. Like Dr. Robert Lang suggests, they are valid to interpret and decode on your own, and that way will make the most sense to you. Your mileage will vary but another person except a psychologist trained specifically in this theory will probably not help.
>>85754557The essence of memory techniques is to intentionally encode information in a way that you can decode it later. This is how people do things like remember entire decks of cards, they see the sequence of numbers and symbols as representations of characters or objects already in their long term memory. [sic] a film or a novel, etc can be viewed abstractly as a dream of the author or director. This is the logical basis for assuming things can stand for (encode) other things. If this is your standard of "analyzing media" then you need to be intimately familiar with either the author or the intended audience of the author, but you fall into the trap of looking like someone who analyzes other people's dreams. You don't have the memories that form the substrate of those dreams! You have to acknowledge that you can't "properly" analyze them without the author's cooperation and he/she essentially doing the work for you!
Did the people who fell for the blue curtain meme actually ask the author themselves if the blue curtain means anything? The answer: no. The author will tell you the curtains were blue because he wanted them to be blue, not because he was depressed and needed to express it through the color of curtains.
>>85754294Business majors are already taking over tech and stem. There's nothing left for humanities fags.
>DON'T YOU DARE INTERPRET THOSE CURTAINS AS ANYTHING ELSE! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE AUTHOR SAYS THE CURTAINS ARE BLUE JUST BECAUSE HE WANTED THEM BLUE BECAUSE....BECAUSE....BECAUSE...UMM YOU ARE UNCREATIVE!!!
>>85754592It's so funny how both tech fags, lit fags and engineering fags kept making fun of econ majors with color pens memes and Micro means small and Macro means big only for them to be the only ones getting jobs because every company needs 50 accountants and 40 excel monkeys apparently
I'm doing English studies even though I didn't even want to go to college but my old folks forced me to go and said that they were okay with anything so I picked the easiest one What the fuck can you even do with a a bachelor degree? Everyone in my life who ever studied this major is working in education or a call center while the rest are back in college trying to get their masters
>>85754911In English? Just about every college I have ever looked at has a teaching track which most go into. These are almost always literature focused. Though, at my Alma mater, the English major did have a specialization in creative writing which broke it down to sub-specializations in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.Now, as to how it all applies and what you can do? That's really what your liberal arts is for: it makes you qualified for almost every low-pay wageslave job that requires a bachelor's degree. When I worked in mental health, several of the case managers/care coordinators/intake specialists/etc (which don't require any licenses or advanced degrees) were English majors. The compliance agencies allowed it because the requirement was that the clinician needed to have some psychology classes. Well, you get some of those which obtaining your undergrad degree. They just need to see that it was on your transcript. It didn't matter if you were a Theatre major and your best accomplishment was you doing a line in a play which you said:>Would you like friiiiiiiies with thaaaaaatit didn't matter.btw, not an English major. I just know many who did. I was a double major in psychology and sociology. Both shit degrees as undergrad degrees btw. Though, they were worth more back when I graduated in 2004. Thankfully, the state I worked in allowed those degrees be eligible for for a social work license, which helped out my career and allowed me to advance for more pay. If you are just going for an easy mode major, have you thought about adding in psychology? It really is an easy major. It is why it is one of the most popular majors, and it does teach how the person in OP's post is a delusional loser. And mental health care is not going away, but growing.
>>85754986Thanks for the effort posting Anon I appreciate your help I guess I'll check psychology, I've attended some lectures that weren't mine just for fun and they were interesting Happy that you managed to make it eventually, hope things get even better for you
>>85755045Just a few thoughts after I posted that, anon. Are your parents footing the entire bill? If so, I say go with whatever you enjoy doing. Double major if you want to. As long as they're the ones going in debt and not you, let them be idiots.If you are really, really concerned about jobs, does your college offer some type of medical degree such as nursing? If so, you could combine it like with nursing and psychology. Nursing is always in great demand, esp if you get the RN license along with the BSN. You can always specialize into psychiatric nursing and get an easier mode job at a mental health agency instead of a hospital. Sure, they're way lower wage, but they're easier since you're more likely to work in a clinic or a group home instead of dealing with unstable hospital patients. However, it's still stressful, which goes against your original point of:>picked the easiest oneGoing back to get my LPN, then RN license is what I did (at a different community college, not a university.) I didn't get the full BSN, which would have helped, but I already had two degrees and the social work license so it doesn't matter. Despite now it being such much easier, it can be stressful. Mostly though, it's dumb staff drama. Nursing is full of women, so that comes with the territory.
>>85754294they will be important but they will not be valued by society or rewarded financially
Claude is better at writing than 99% of the population and it can write a good novel if you just tell it to emulate some1s style
>>85754294>Is she correct?Occupations that have survived automation have not done so because they are difficult but because it was not worth it.
>>85754294Humanities fags are largely midwit failsons/faildaughters who can't into learning anything useful and they have this conceit about "critical thinking" (they believe repeating whaty the high status people think is critical thinking) and that they are "good with people" all of which will fall apart once you challenge their gay inculcated belief system on any topic you have better knowledge than them in. The only reason the vast majority of these types of people tend to succeed is nepotism, the failing upwards effect which is funny since most of them are also gommunists who are supposed to hate that type of person.Anyway, the people who've been using AI effectively so far have been techfags and gamers that they hate like Pewdiepie who AI jews are mad at for trying to distill their models.
>>85754294>Communication and critical thinking skills will be the most important attributes to have in the near futureYes, not because of AI, but because so many young people today are so braindead and incapable of social interaction that those skills alone will make you stand out from the crowd.
>>85754294> My English major cousin Opinion disregarded. Everyone who took this major is a huge snob who thinks theyre going to be a real Litchereature professor. I would say that the ability to obfuscate and cause confusion will be more valued.
>>85754294Half true, AI can't do critical thinkingBut it's great at skinwalking critical thinkingHack writers (most of humanities) are done for>Actual critical thinking and analysisCompletely irreplaceable by AI>Writing some bullshit your audience wants to be true and making it kinda believable to a laymanMost replaceable by AI job in existence
>>85755775You get treated differently when you're actually skilled at something, you don't get posts like this directed towards you unless it's a direct criticism of your work.Also no one cares if you're skilled at writing a book anymore, everyone now is more concerned if you can write dialogue or screen play, key word there being screen.
>>85754502Imagine trying to sound Very Smart and then making all of these typos. Holy fuck, you ought to be slaughtered.
>>85754294She has half of that ass backwards.AI is fantastic at turning a short blunt sentence into something appropriately passive and corporate for an email or report.It's prone to missing something important in unpredictable ways in technical fields and catching and fixing those issues requires people who know how to do the job without AI.Communication skills, no.Critical thinking, especially when paired with technical skills, yes.
>>85754557Isn't there a huge problem that the bulk of psychology is unreplicable bullshit?
>>85755859That quote is very on point.If they actually knew what they were talking about they'd be doing that instead of writing surface level cobbled together crap about it because they couldn't do an actual job.
>>85756511I'm not a psychologist, like I said I'm just a humble English major, but it would come from the fact that the level of salience of the public has not meaningfully gone beyond Freud or Jung. And Freud specifically was indeed full of shit, and both of them are too verbose for anyone to ever actually read in their leisure. Freud never cured a single patient, but the value of an author isn't always what they say, it's sometimes the conversations around their work that are made possible by them contributing their bullshit in the first place. Psychology is very woo-woo. However, I think woo-woo is capable of helping people because of their operative sense of religiosity having nothing to support itself with in the absence of Christendom and they refuse to go to church and believe in Christ because it's lame and not in fashion. If there was such thing as a psychologist who wasn't a cynical bastard out to swindle poor people and retards, and was willing to work with someone holistically, then that might be the only way to improve soemone's mental illness. Especially, as you add, in a way that is quantifiable. At a certain point, because it is impossible for us right now to know the inns and outs of all neuroscience, we just have philosophy to try and intuit the goal we're aiming for. Holistically, there are many treatment steps that should be done supervised and recorded to measure trends long before someone even requires shit like an analysis of his stream of consciousness thoughts. For example, basic stuff like breathwork, fitness, cardio, micronutrient supplementation, if they're brushing their teeth, digestive health, their diet, etc Going beyond that, you can take it to the level of LEAP MRI blood testing to determine the inflammatory effects of certain foods. I only found out about this recently, I'm coining the term "Ayurveda for white people"
>>85756511Psychfag here, and your answer is yes. It's ironic however that psychfags like myself are drilled research methodology and can most likely break down any study easily even criticizing the basic minute detail. However, when it comes to designing them, conducting them, making them replicable, etc., psychology is basically the worst subject at it. So, you have the best at murdering others studies, but the worst at doing them.
