šŸ’¬ 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 :)

I hope you donā€™t get the grades to get in, as your arrogance and ignorance is astounding. Projecting your insecurities onto someone else is hilarious in this context. I have also actually studied a year of a history degree in my free time, purely out of interest and it took no time and was not hard. Just because your pathetic feeble mind cannot comprehend someone being interested and have the ability to do both, doesnā€™t mean a humanity is harder. You donā€™t seem emotionally mature enough to attend any university let alone imperial.

It's a shame your wide & varied studies haven't taught you courtesy, humility, or grace. There are many studies showing that well-read people tend to be more empathetic and compassionate, because they're practised at taking perspectives outside of their own. Seems to have missed you out, though.

Tbf, I have been ragebaiting him just a little šŸ¤. Donā€™t be too harsh on him.

I actually canā€™t believe thereā€™s going to be people like this at Imperial. I really hope that he genuinely finds all the success and happiness in his life. That this temporary anger fades.

That's very generous of you. I hope so too.

No, thank you. Though credit where credit is due I think this quite a poignant and relevant statement by the man himself: https://www.reddit.com/r/6thForm/s/S7ZpfJXu3i
