Smart in one area but can't comprehend outside of science. perhaps if you'd had the 'hard mode' education in sciences as a kid, like i did, you'd see that scientific objective validity is far more relevant than emotive ideological assumptions ( such as all subjects being equally hard).

Funnily enough i've spent almost as much time in the soft-skills of people management as hard science skills in my career. you are talking to a 40-something man, not a young adult. Oh god, you're one of those managers people hate.... (Unless if you are totally different in real life which I hope so) Edited June 2, 2019 by The Lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless if you are totally different in real life which I hope so) People skills are quite different soft skills than learning how to make noise or splash paint that people like.

Surely you must know that. I do. I've managed people before too. I also have the softskill of knowing how people react to egos. This thread is a prime example of that. Therefore, I have a pretty good idea just from this thread of what kind of manager you likely are, especially from you bleeding your ideals all over this thread. It's also likely not what you think you are as a manager, nor, will you ever believe unless if some major life event happened that changed you and actually make you see your faults. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a good manager & the soft skill it takes, certainly does not involve buying into the idea that all ideas are equal or that all subjects are equally hard or any such. Maybe YOU should check your ego at the door to try and extrapolate what kind of a manager a person is or isn't from discussing the importance of arts vs math for high school education over the internet. But then again, you do sound like a young person who is quick to judge people and weak to judge ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And which if the character is Star Trek makes the better captain: the logical Spok, or the feeling Kirk? Human beings are creatures driven by feelings. Do we vote by logic? No. Do we choose our spouse by logic? No. Is love logical? No. If we were completely logical our species would have died out long ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, you do sound like a young person who is quick to judge people and weak to judge ideas. If you gave your opinion of math being more important and ONLY gave such an opinion while considering other's opinions, that would have been something else. The conversation would have been different; however, instead, you came across as condescending. I'm assuming that you've had a good life and you've probably done well for yourself. That's great, but not all of us have had a good life. I'm in my 30's and back at university. I've had a crappy life so far and working to get it back on track. I've likely seen different parts of life than what you will ever see. You come across as thinking you are better than everyone else. And this is not me being quick to judge. This is based on many threads over a period of months, maybe even years now of posts I've seen from you. Believe me (you won't). This is no quick judgment. I'm telling you how I'm seeing it and, as expected and proof of my previous post, you are simply not going to see it. It's what I expected and pretty much solidifies what I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
