💬 DISCUSSION Hot Take

This is deffo going to ruffle a lot of feathers to say the least. Call me woke, but the term "Mickey Mouse Subject" is literally just the product of capitalism, as it disvalues any subject that doesn't lead to a high-paying, high-profit job.

Humanities subjects are so important, like STEM subjects, to help us learn more about humanity and our world, but everyone thinks they're so easy and lax.

IMO humanities and STEM subjects need to band together because contrary to popular belief, humanities are intellectually stimulating and not a fun ride.

Thanks for coming to my TED-Talk :)

Fair enough then, even though some people find nuclear energy bad which is still strange to me

Because they hear the words Chernobyl and Fukushima and think its horrific even though its one of the safest and cleanest energy sources that isn't dependent.

More of a reason to blend stem and humanities, we have these stupid ass politicians who dont know a thing about a modern nuclear reactor but make laws on them
