/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.12407022]

If intelligence can be predicted via polygenic score, including one's propensity to immigrate to places with better economic opportunities and educational level, does philosophy still have any value? Intelligent people become scientists. Us dumb-dumbs come to literature and other fictional stuff. Is /lit/ actually the dumbest board? Are the societal goes set by intelligent people actually good? Or are people's stem propensities just masturbation in the era of reproductibility and industrial thinking?

If you're an intelligent person without the (economic or cultural) imperative to do something which generates literal material value you might find yourself doing philosophy or english or lit or art or whatever. Plenty of dummies in both.
Basically if you're OK with not making that much money, or don't need to make that much money, you can make the slightly comfier decision of pursuing a career in the humanities. It's fine, no big deal, everyone's working hard and trying to contribute. Like your mom always said, different strokes for different blokes.
Friendly reminder that patricians chill out and appreciate the contributions of people who work hard with skill and creativity regardless of their field.

No because stem deals with complex problems, not with complicated ones. They’re just monkeys trying to figure out which shape goes in which hole with extremely complicated shapes and holes.

Explain. You still need to assert the example existence of problems outside the scope of STEM.

Any metaphysical/deontological/political/aesthetic question?

Aesthetically induced euphoria can be explained scientifically, as well as political matters. Metaphysics is brainlet-tier.

I'd like to think that philosophy and humanities are here to support the natural sciences. Often STEM is reduced to simple problem solving and mindless research, but WHY do people actually practice these sciences then? They're putting in the hard work to make us as subjects progress, and yet it feels like the natural sciences don't know/have forgotten to what our progress is actually supposed to lead. I'm not saying we should reduce science to a purely superficial subject for romantics, (those who say the absolute is to be sought elsewhere), rather Science should function as a systematic system for knowledge. Science should be for-itself, reflecting, it should progress by figuring out itself.

It's rational to assume that our cultural communication is performed in blind faith but not that some intelligence at some point would be able to recreate the experience in order to predict the outcome. I've read the words of machines and been more than satisfied with their /lit/ learn of comprehension of the material that became the basis for the machines composition. randomness as a property can be held as a property of the world without having to rid ourselves of basic laws of physics. Accounting for the individuals twists of knowledge acquisition in the brain and having that individuals worldview in relation to their own worldview can be a very practical method of understanding essential qualities of all humans regardless of race. But you're right, we'd probably rather poetry and some adventure tourism with the hordes really. Get a good pack sniffing going and then just have at her.
