I started to help it devolve...but apparently I hadn't had enough whiskey so I edited my posts. I think we should install a breathalyzer that is attached to this forum.

Some of us would never post.
Some of my best material is when I've gotten into the bar in the home office.
You should see me pick on my coworkers on the SouthernJets pilot forums.
I never said it would work that way. I propose a minimum BAC to post. .15 sound about right? Let's get this party started!

No way, engineering is all about problem solving, which involves...yup, critical thinking.

I was just playing around... I've dabbled a bit in the past in the Phil/Psych thing.....And how quick would the thread devolve into a grudge match where I have to make a long-winded speech about "how you bastards have to co-exist, ah ah ah, I don't care how you feel about one another, but you will get along in my house"?![]()
Agree to disagree, though I submit that you didn't get into the deeper philosophy classes if you didn't find things relevant to life. Also, I'm not talking specifically about philosophy. By far my most enlightening classes were various history and law classes.
At any rate, it is true that engineering teaches a very specific kind of critical thinking that is fundamentally different than what you learn through studying something like philosophy. Some people have a really hard time with grey, and those people don't do well in philosophy. That's all I mean. The engineers do great problem solving on how to build a bridge, or design a mechanical part.
I'm 48 years old. My high school transcripts in no way, shape or form reflect on the type of man I am today... I agree with you totally, It's borderline insulting to ask a an accomplished military officer for H.S. transcrips..You know, Hacker, it's not too late for you to escape an industry so crazy that they ask an accomplished military officer for his high school transcripts.![]()
See above.
Again, no argument that engineers are great at a highly specialized type of critical thinking. I just don't think they are any better suited to flying than a liberal arts majors, and in some cases maybe worse suited.
Nah, sorry, I don't agree. A true engineer is able to think logically and critically. That's the progressiveness of engineering, how to make some thing cheaper/better/faster as well as make things that has never been done before. I took a few philosophy classes too, what I got out of them is there was nothing in them useful to the real world. Interesting discussions, sure, but I didn't gain anything that I didn't already have.
In this thread: people defending their choice of a philosophy major.
You know what, generally speaking people get along better online when they drink. Rounds out the spikes of anger which cause troll and flame wars.
True story.
