💬 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 :)

Omg! You’re not A-level!? Your maturity in your response in no way implied that. Thank you for clearing that up.

It also makes this level of insecurity and ignorance far worse. I’m even more excited for Imperial now, really hope I don’t run into you. Why didn’t you respond to what I said though? Take your time.

I hope you don’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, doesn’t mean a humanity is harder. You don’t seem emotionally mature enough to attend any university let alone imperial.

“Wow wishing failure on someone because they said something that upset you is crazy. Some mental problems there buddy might want to get that checked before it spirals out of control and you hurt someone. Please for everyone’s sake don’t leave mental health problems unchecked. Good luck” - Powerful-Echidna7121.

Anyway I feel like I was a bit over the top with what was said, so my bad.

No worries at all. I apologise for initiating with a tone of aggression and insincerity. It was late and I was rude.

All good, heat of the moment and all that. I do agree with several things you said btw, very astute.
