So, science snobbery
May. 9th, 2016 08:40 pmIt happens, you know.
It manifests itself in people who're good at maths and like it looking down at people who aren't good at it and don't like it.
It manifests itself in comments like Dr McKay's in SGA that "soft" sciences are not to be taken seriously.
It manifests itself in the nonverbal suggestions that people who are good at chess and like it are somewhat superior to those who aren't and don't.
So, if I hate maths, don't think that 2x2 must always, necessarily result 4 and find chess pretentious and boring, does it mean that I'm an inferior person?
On a completely different matter, I think I'm going to trim my friendslist again. I don't see why I should care for people who don't give a shit about me while otherwise still active on LJ.
