>STEMfag here
That was your first mistake anon.

if someone who had never studied your subject beyond a very elementary degree decided to share a very uninformed and factually incorrect opinion on why its bad how would you react? would you perhaps think that person was a retard?

he wouldnt care
because nature exists regardless of what a continental philosopher thinks about it. and the fruits of engineering are all around us, and self evident.
and if it were me, i would point out the irony of the philosopher using a computer to shit on engineering.

PHILOSOPHY IS A TRADITION, IS ITS HISTORY, YOU DON'T READ THE POST-MODERNS WITHOUT HAVING THE MODERNS, AND YOU DON'T READ THE MODERNS WITHOUT HAVING READ THE MEDIEVALS, AND SO ON. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IS BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE PREPARATION

>>11467753
dont you see any irony in communicating thoughts via language that are critical of the concept of philosophy

>>11467753
ive seen some variation of this post dozens and dozens of times in threads like this

everything you think you know rolled off the ideological assembly line.

>>11467753
*snap*

That you're asking this question at all suggests you aren't very familiar with philosophy. You're not the only STEMfag on /lit/. I have a physics degree and I know there are lots of others with STEM degrees too. But when you come in here shitting on philosophy without even knowing what it is you just make us look bad.

Aspire to be like the men on the left of this pic, not the guys on right.

>>11467753
And I guess no philosophy at all was involved in creating computers?

Have you tried reading it?

certainly none from the past 2000 years

>>11467890
Godel, Boole, Turing, Church and Chomsky are philosophers

>>11467590
>Fiction can be just as philosophical
No. Or it is shallow or it is wasting words while not accomplishing philosophy or literature.

Idk I find all academia boring as fuck to be honest. How can you unironically find science or any subject interesting after the initial honeymoon phase and realize that you have zero chance on working on anything substantial and that everything leads to the dead end of doing something so ridiculously specific that literally 0 people will ever give a shit

>>11467590
philosophy is to science what science is to technique

>>11468220
I'm not gonna say what I do specificially b/c doxxing, but this isn't true for every part of academia. The particular field of STEM (I'm not OP btw) has about 150 to 250 active people. The joy comes from being part of a community of smart people who share your interests and, for me at least, being able to compete for dominance within this small pack.

>it never evolves along with humanity
Of course it does, how could it not?
What does this even mean?

>>11468371
sounds like any other other shitty job desu

>>11468461
most STEM jobs aren't full of attractive women (thank God for affirmative action), and most of them don't tolerate aspie behaviour either. There's also a certain nobility in being part of the priestly caste in our modern religion of scientism.

I only got into stem for money and a comfy life

>>11467590
disregard foucault and lacan and ricoeur and especially ignore derrida and sartre and deleuze. you should pretend houellebecq doesn't exist.

read the based Rene Girard.

>>11468506
Houellebecq is a novelist and Girard is a hack.

>>11468506
Girardposter is that you? <3

>>11468506
brainlet lol

>>11467590
Philosophy has been barren as fuck for hundreds of years now, all the meme philosophers like Foucault are literal bullshit. Almost everything after and including Kant is complete trash that provides literally no insight into anything

Should I be a stemfag or a philosotard? Is there some way to reconcile them in the modern academic system?

>>11469178
I don't care for a lot of Foucault but I guarantee you haven't read a single one of his books.

>>11469185
How can you possibly know that?

>>11468112
all wrong, desperate reacting, very cringe
