    Mathematics does not get much of my respect because most of what can be done with math can be done faster by computers.

      Four stars.
      You're on a roll today, Asher.

        Math = arithmetic.
        Not really Philosophy fan but a strong ethics fan.

        Also I will challenge any math person to do a fifteen variable multiple regression analysis by hand.

          Medicine.

          Mostly because what individuals can do with it. When was the last time a physicist or a mathematician made a difference to anyone? And a lifesaving one at? Same with most of the others. Some actually screw people up more.

              You really have no idea what mathematics students really do, do you? They are not human calculators.

                Normally I'd give you the benefit of the doubt, but I know this is truly you speaking.

                Amazing. You are apparently unaware of what drives a multi-billion dollar medical research industry these days.

                  There's even math in music FFS. It permeates everything.

                    Thousands upon thousands of other doctors, electrical and mechanical engineers and computer scientists. Not a KH of in the bunch.

                    But go ahead Asher, name one of them. One that as an indiviual (important as that is what I said) helped you out. I can name my doctor, can you?

                      Chemists have my respect. They could blow up all the other eggheads anytime without even breaking a sweat, and there'd be no more bickering.

                        Biologists have genetic mutants. Though I guess you guys can make those to, after your own fashion.

                          I'd rather have a good plumber living next to me than an outstanding math whiz.
