    ​@J Thorsson Look, I understand how internet arguments can be and I know neither of us are going to come out of this convinced of the other's point of view, so I won't even try. However, I will clarify a few points for you merely with the objective that perhaps you might reconsider, give some more thought, and hear more diverse opinions (to put it cordially, yours seems to be too strong and passionate for anyone who has been open to different ways of thought other than one's self). 0) This is topic 0 as it will be used to refer to things you said that I do agree with. I agree social sciences can be manipulated, and I am pleased to see you agree STEM isn't completely virtuous as well (In fat, it has been manipulated to pursue certain political goals all across History, and continues to be so). I also agree that degrees related to STEM and philosophy have generally higher IQ averages. This is factual, and there is no point in refuting it. 1) Social sciences can be manipulated, but that doesn't mean they are. They aren't, and if they were, they would likely be manipulated in favor of capitalism (certainly very non-marxist of them), as capitalism is the dominating economic system in America (and the world). I don't understand what would be the point of capitalism to simply let such a "destructive" world view to be massively taught in universities. Certainly it must be because of one of the following: 1) it isn't destructive, 2) it isn't influential enough, or 3) it is actually useful. 2) Every "retard" does, indeed, need a degree these days, as a degree is essential to get any job and, hence, to not starve to death. Please consider this before saying such a thing. 3) You make it sound like Marxists, and Marx by extension, enjoy spreading ignorance. This could not be further from the truth, but I will not push it onto yourself lest I "indoctrinate" you towards my beliefs. I recommend you studying some History to understand this before saying things you really don't know about. 4) People in social sciences can, in fact, easily understand topic coming right out from STEM, if correctly taught. I am speaking from experience here: I am a physics student with an interest in moving further into mathematics, and I have taught many key concepts of both fields to people coming from psychology, sociology, linguistics, law, and several other humanities courses. Many people coming from those fields are interested in these topics, believe it or not, and in fact the most successful people coming from said fields do understand a large portion of them. The only reason why it is harder for them to understand them at a mathematical level is because mathematics is a whole new language in itself. Saying they inherently can't understand STEM is the same as if they used Latin and said people coming from STEM don't understand what they're saying. It is preposterous. 5) Universities are not "filled to the brim" with Marxists. they are in fact, filled with centrists fully supporting liberalism. I wouldn't consider mild progressiveness, such as supporting LGBT rights, Marxism. Mostly because Marx himself cared little for those matters, and because those matters care little with what Marx had to say. You are confusing topics here. Marx was economist, not a gay rights activist. Marxists are economists, not gay rights activists. 6) While it is true people from STEM have higher IQs, it is also true that IQ is worthy of a hefty load of criticism. Mainly, one's IQ measures one's ability to make rapid mental calculations, such as rapidly saying that 2*10=1024. People with a high IQ can do that, but I don't see why this ability makes one more apt to... Well, to do anything else other than that to be honest. Not only is it not that useful for anything outside of mathematics, it is also something that evolves over time, depending on one's activities. What I'm saying here is that people from STEM have a more mathematical reasoning because they are in STEM, not the other way around. (and notice how I said they have a more mathematical reasoning; I did not say they are more intelligent. This is because intelligence is about more than having a mathematical reasoning (one of the many valid criticisms made toward IQ tests), it is about emotional intelligence as well, something which is known to be quite low in STEM. Intelligence also has a great deal to do with creativity, which is highly predominant in both the STEM and the humanities community). I hope this was enough for you to reconsider (after all, the constant questioning of one's deeply held beliefs is one of the cornerstones of science, something someone who holds science to such high regard as yourself should be aware of), though I don't expect it. I feel like it would be appropriate to say that my arguments come from experience (again, something a scientist should clearly admire). I am, myself, a physics undergrad with an interest in further pursuing mathematics, philosophy, psychology and sociology. I am a proponent of leftist ideologies, and I speak every day with people from the left, the right, the center, and the extremes of both. I speak every day with people from STEM and from humanities. And I have done my research. I speak from experience. With what you are saying, frankly it sounds like you don't. I hope next time you speak about these topics, you do so from experience as well.

Maybe for much higher level courses than I took it is necessary but for intermediate to intro level physics I found youtube and google sufficient. Hell... I found youtube and google sufficient for 90% of college. The other 10% was classes where I wanted the textbook for myself and ones that needed an online code to do homework.
