Lawfag here. I'm kinda enjoying it.

I'm doing a reasonably interesting degree that's a mix of various humanities subjects (history, literature, philosophy, technology, media, politics, "knowledge", the arts, sociology) in relation to Western culture. Lots and lots of reading. Not going to write out what the course is called because it's pretty embarrassing. I'm in my first year, we looked at a range of philosophers (from Plato to Foucault) and their basic ideas in the first block, while reading different types of texts to do with the humanities alongside it (philosophical, historical and sociological texts). I kind of enjoyed it.
This block we're reading a bunch of philosophical texts (Descartes, Nietzsche, Spinoza, Kant, and Foucault) while looking at how the sciences developed after the Middle Ages in Europe.

Being completely honest, I think it's a bullshit degree and a general waste of my money, even if it is extremely interesting and aligns nearly perfectly with my interests and what I like doing. If I have enough money after these 3 years I'm probably going to do a Law degree, or I might just drop this at the end of the year and see if I can switch over to the law faculty. I'm just generally disappointed in, I know I'll sound full of myself, my peers. No one seems to be as motivated or interested as I am. Tutorials in particular are generally structured in the way that group discussion is very important, but there are very rarely people who seem interested in the topic at hand, and there is always a list of usual suspects, myself included, who talk. I feel as though I'm one of the few, alongside some others I share a few courses with, who generally contribute something worthwhile to the overall discussion. I genuinely wonder why everyone's here if they have no vested interest in what they're doing. And they're not "Chads" or "normies" either, they're all decent people.

Studied Ancient History, now doing Law. I regret nothing, I feel a lot more rounded than an engineering automaton.

It's somewhat scientific, I suppose.
I mean, it grew out of medicine, which is empirical and practical, results-based first, and has a lot of Cartesian dualist baggage left over from the Enlightenment, but they do try.

As our understanding of human neurobiology increases, psychology will be reduced to the study of mental phenomenology.

This is really a

It is becoming a harder science as neuroscience becomes more advanced, but right now it still depends too much on Freud and other similar hacks.

who's this cum plum?

The russian baltic fleet sailing all the way to Japan just to get utterly shrecked was a blunder of similar magnitude.

Bad Weather really isn't a BTFO, bad weather is a real problem. If anything Kublai was just an idiot by rushing ship construction. The Spanish Armada was also fucked over by weather too.

Yes,it wasn't necessary to be so edgy and trying to invade russia

Can we all agree that this board is inevitably going to become leftypol?

Not even a leftist mate, and I didn't particularly dislike the Nazi's idea but the after effects were terrible.

Also Gothic architecture really needs to make a second comeback. Just imagine a modern building made with modern materials in that style.

What are your favorite historical buildings?

nice try OIDF

My middle school textbooks called the Ottoman Empire the sick man of Europe by the time WW1 started. What were the problems responsible for its decline?
