/thread

I've watched enough University challenge episodes to know that like 1 in 100 STEM males are not autistic, where the women are more like 1 in 2 not autistic. They wear oversized sport coats with ties that weren't even tied correctly with these ugly ass haircuts, some clearly didn't even take a shower and had bed head before going on the show. It's such a joke. Then you'll get 1 guy that is cool, conservatively witty, looks good, answers every question and gets the job done with zero autism. It's really rare though. They're typically in physics too lmao pretty funny considering this thread is already showing that. one of them was getting their PhD in chemistry, or maybe biochemistry, can't remember, but the majority are physics.

CS is pure autism. Even the guys in theoretical physics and the more obscure fields of pure maths are less autistic. I mean, the others are shy and can't hold a conversation and have strange hobbies, but CS students have zero social awareness. 99% of CS undergrads is human trash. Close second is civil engineering, I have no idea why, then theoretical physics and pure maths.

EE, ME, CE are dudeweedlmao tier, normal phyics and applied maths are normies and statistics and bio students are mostly social butterflies.

I really don't know how any straight white male could think physics or engineering isn't at least pretty neat, though, and I don't know what would top them.

CS/EE and Math are probably the most autistic

>>8653274

You're going to give the same response you give other people when they tell you their majors: "Oh, that's neat."

Majors aren't cool.

doing a really hard major like engineering/physics/math but acting like it's no big deal, never talking about it, and having other hobbies and interests is what's cool. nobody wants to talk to someone that just talks about one fucking thing all of the time. i don't care if you are feynman or von braun.

>>8656281
Studying it is not fun for most people though. I would really love being able to enjoy EE since it is one of the most difficult engineerings and the pay is good, but it seems that I am simply unable to like it.

>>8656299

>>8655579

I'm not amerifat

>>8656299
You shouldn't read engineering unless you love maths. Pure and simple. The workload is very heavy and maths is everywhere. And everything you learn is absolutely necessary if you plan to become an engineer. Electrical engineering is supposedly only second to a maths degree in terms of maths difficulty. I would hazard a guess that physics is probably somewhere in between, with more difficult concepts.

>>8656267
Given that americlapistan is an extremely anti-intellectual country society-wise, everything that requires some kind of abstraction is seem as ''boring''

>>8656322
come on the math is not that hard, I'm EE and the most complex stuff we regularly do is Laplace, Fourier and Z-transforms and stuff like that

>>8656320
why do you think there is a difference? euro "universities" are even worse.

>>8656331
You didn't cover PDE's or stochastic processes?

>>8656345
We did but those are mostly subjects you don't have to actually take and in their place you can take more relevant stuff to the engineering part of the degree, like material science stuff, technology etc. That kind of math is useful only to some more niche parts of EE. Laplace and Fourier is something circuits are actually built on, and Z-transform is needed for anyone working with DSP at all. Other than that its mostly basic Calc stuff.

>>8656345
Also I'm not saying EE is easy because the math is not that hardcore, but EE is not nearly as math heavy as I thought before I enrolled... maybe its heavier than mechanical or chemical, dunno about that, but the most difficult subjects are actually in the electronics and technology world, not the math itself.

If you don't want to spend your time in university studying maths, the next best thing would be chemistry.

Theoretical physics is more abstract than anything. Money shouldn't be a priority, it should be getting a job that you enjoy, since you'll be spending 80% of your conscious hours doing it.
If you get a research position (not easy in physics) you will be making a comfortable living in the US.
'Sadly', life takes a lot of trial and error to figure out what really makes you happy (and it's never money). Go to a college website and read about the modules studied in each subject.

Chemistry majors are bros. Their science is entirely empirical, so they don't get their heads up their asses like physics and mathematics majors about learning the secrets of the universe or whatever.

Actually that's what poorfags say to rationalize their poverty. Or that's what richfags say so other people don't try to be rich.
I really want to make money. Having a company for myself and spending the entire day making it more profitable is the dream job for me. I don't care if I get little sleep or don't have a family. I want the fulfillment of building something like that.

>>8656518
Usually it's stupid people that covet 'things', especially money.
Clever people usually require something more meaningful.

>>8656556
Everybody says that, but in fact wanting meaning instead of material stuff has to do with emotion, not intelligent. You can be very stupid and go after "meaning." Alternatively, you can be very intelligent and go after material stuff.
Obviously the opposite can also be true, but what I'm trying to say is that being materialistic literally has nothing to do with being intelligent or not.

Well, obviously, they're completely unrelated. So why did you say 'that's what poorfags say' when it clearly isn't. I'm not poor, yet I still don't care about having a lot of money saved. There's nothing I want to buy... So I don't particularly enjoy having a lot of money.

>>8656581
Well, people are different. Some want to make money, like me, some doesn't, like you. I just have a huge problem with people who say that pursuing money is wrong when in fact it isn't. Not everyone wants a job that is "just fun" and being just another average joe. Some want to excel, be it by being a renowed scientist or by making a lot of money.

Ffs, you can't deny it. I'm in CS. I'm fully aware that we have the highest share of autists. Their computer is their only friend and form of contact growing up and it's their natural first pick as a major. There are normies, sure, just a smaller share than other majors.

I personally don't give a fuck. I love what I do and am still respected as a developer, if you're socially well adjusted and doing well for yourself no one is going to care about your major's stereotype, some in fact will celebrate you for defying it but still keeping the better parts intact.

Also CS is a black box for everyone not in it so the women you meet outside of it don't have to know about the dirty autistic underbelly, they'll just think you're a computer whiz.

I group CS in the middle since it is becoming more cool and normie tier.

engineers who aren't aspies are actually really fucking cool guys. they can explain really complicated shit. talk to an aerospace engineer that actually knows what they're talking about and isn't an autist and they'll probably be the coolest fucking guy you'll ever meet. physics and math can go that way too, but it's harder since the concepts they bring up are sort of isolating if you don't know exactly what they're talking about, where engineering is inherently practical in its explanations.
