I'll see you there

And with the power of that knowledge they decided to specialize and get a masters of exploitation.

Ethics is largely mandatory for engineering majors (source: am finishing my bachelor's in electrical engineering), but the first job or project you take will ask you to throw that out the window. (Source: family members who are also engineers)

There are two areas of safety considered: Operator/client safety, and regulatory compliance. All other safeguards are optional and ignoring them is encouraged.

Does it have to be Jesus who makes them watch it or is there another deity we can use?

Big gripe of mine is the distinction of "soft" and "hard" science. I'm a linguist and it surprises people that I had to take advanced statistics, set theory, know the basics of acoustics, and have an understanding of calculus. But just because a field requires nuance and observational data doesn't mean it's automatically less rigorous than a field that deals exclusively with numbers. Can't exclusively rely on statistical models to draw conclusions about economic trends or linguistic phenomena because the economy and language don't exist outside of human society

I really do wish humanities were not actually considered as 'lesser' to the sciences. But I have actually found it to be greater of the sciences, simply because of the importance and the difficulty of questions it tackles. I have spent a fairly long time reading on philosophy, history, economics. I am not an expert, in fact, I am really far from it, but I have really come to an understanding the importance of these fields. But that's just me. Most just consider them not important because they don't understand. I just hope that we can rectify with better academic curriculum.

Hi, 'tis me, leftist with a business degree and minor in psychology that works in marketing. 🙃

Cause theyre literally given inflated egos about "how great your business acumen is" when really theyre morally bankrupt parasites who finished (compared to real degrees) coloring books.

Yeah, outside of some very rudimentary principals, macro-economics is basically astrology for MBA bros.

No can do, gotta teach students how to pass the tests that gives the school federal funding

That’s what I’ve been saying since I was in high school. Going into college, the first year felt like High School 2.0. My English professor outright asked, “Why are you in this class? I have nothing I can teach you.” Funny how we can take a test after admission to show us which subjects we need remedial classes for, but no test for us to opt-out of subjects that we’ve already mastered. Still gotta take our money and waste our time because, you know, “requirements.”

Edit: I’ve heard some people say there are opt-out tests some places, but that clearly isn’t the default. Not at the community college I went to.

Yeah I do think there is something to the culture of MBA programs. All the information available for current and prospective students at my university was very much of the tone that mbas change the world. The halls of the business school were filled with famous rich people who'd visited the school or gifted money along with plaques about MBA grads and the amazing things they did. It's just full of subtle reminders about how the degree is a gateway to being some big powerful person. I'm sure that makes an impact on the students' attitudes.

The only thing funny about the Laffer curve is how little it now matters.

It was used to justify Reagnomics, which then immediately proved we weren't nearly as high on the Laffer curve as we assumed. Because of this, we have concrete evidence that lowering taxes on the rich doesn't increase government revenues.

Yet we're still doing that 50 years later. Despite the only vaguely scientific thing behind it proving it doesn't work decades ago.

Imagine being in a catholic family, reading the Bible, and always walking away thinking that Judas did the right thing (despite everything else the Bible says). That's US economic policy for the last 50 years.

The artists can assist by drawing a line that goes more up. Problem solved!

Yes, yes, release your anger!
