(I am 100% joking, I think everyone should take at least one philosophy class 😉

2020-12-22 19:32:49 UTC  

I took enough that they said if I took 2 more I would be awarded a second Bachelors degree.

2020-12-22 19:32:49 UTC  

@Gypsy, you just advanced to level 6!

2020-12-22 19:32:55 UTC  

And I still passed.

2020-12-22 19:33:11 UTC  

Meaning I passed on the second degree.

2020-12-22 19:34:30 UTC  

The Cost of Framing can get expensive!....lol

2020-12-22 19:34:37 UTC  

It’s highly subjective in how it’s taught, which is unfortunate but necessary - much more professor-dependent than content-dependent

2020-12-22 19:35:01 UTC  

Nothing in relation to the cost of the degree itself, tbh

2020-12-22 19:35:16 UTC  

It's like $200-$400 to $40 000+

2020-12-22 19:35:52 UTC  

That makes a lot of sense to me, thank you! I’m guessing research and experiment procedures and controls and other hard science approaches are part of the MS curriculum.

2020-12-22 19:36:10 UTC  

Agree. I was lucky enough to receive a Fellowship.

2020-12-22 19:36:15 UTC  

And most degrees will be like $120 000+

2020-12-22 19:36:19 UTC  

That would only leave me with $200 after this stimulus package

2020-12-22 19:37:07 UTC  

Yes heavy on Math and Statistics.

2020-12-22 19:37:44 UTC  

It was just difficult to read Marx seriously and then go do economics homework. The only classes I liked were eastern philosophy classes which really could have been religious classes. Also the intro classes where we read Humes and Locke. I didn’t care for Kant, Hegel, etc. I thought it was interesting how they thought but also so impractical. I went to school when I was 27 so I wasn’t as abstract as most of the other students.

2020-12-22 19:38:39 UTC  

Marx had quite a few valid critiques of capitalism, it perhaps saved capitalism in the long run.

2020-12-22 19:39:13 UTC  

Psychology is probably the most well respected social science in economics. The least is def sociology. I think sociology and economics are in a Cold War of sorts.

2020-12-22 19:39:18 UTC  

And it's the best approach to reading Marx in my opinion. Have to take it with a grain of salt.

2020-12-22 19:40:05 UTC  

Sure, I read Marx on my own and liked some of it. But like you said, the professor dictates the course. So if they say we are gonna waste a term on labor theory of value .... well that’s what we are doing.

2020-12-22 19:40:53 UTC  

Maybe @blueorbit said that, either way points the same.

2020-12-22 19:41:20 UTC  

I just find it ironic that Marx is the one that perhaps saved capitalism and prevented bastardized authoritarian versions of his vision from overtaking every economy in the world.

2020-12-22 19:42:06 UTC  

A Psychiatrist may disagree with you!....lol

2020-12-22 19:42:49 UTC  

A psychiatrist isn't a social scientist.

2020-12-22 19:42:57 UTC  

Every psychiatrist I know is wrong.

2020-12-22 19:43:01 UTC  

They would be very angry if you suggested otherwise.

2020-12-22 19:43:30 UTC  

Don’t psychiatrists deal with medicine? I am not familiar with psychiatry tbh.

2020-12-22 19:43:40 UTC  

Diagnosis and treatment yes.

2020-12-22 19:43:50 UTC  

I was talking about respect....lol I do know the difference.

2020-12-22 19:44:30 UTC  

Right and so it seems that both of us are mistaken about what debt monetization really is. What would been enlightening is if @Gypsy had told us that no according to MMT debt monetization is really this. And what you are calling debt monetization is more properly termed as such and such. And the difference it is so and so.

2020-12-22 19:44:39 UTC  

E.g: Psychiatrist diagnosis, sends patient to a psychologist for mental exercises.

2020-12-22 19:44:47 UTC  

Yes a M.D. Or D.O.

2020-12-22 19:45:49 UTC  

I see, I was speaking from the POV of economics. There is enough overlap that economist tend to respect a lot of the work in psychology. Behavioral economics is really the marriage fo the two. It wasn’t always that way but it has changed to be a better relationship.

2020-12-22 19:46:32 UTC  

But sociology is generally ..... not well respected. For one, their best ideas came from an economist.

2020-12-22 19:46:36 UTC  

Gotta remember, Psychiatrists can prescribe medication.

2020-12-22 19:46:44 UTC  

If you can do that, you're probably a doctor.

2020-12-22 19:47:19 UTC  

Psychiatrists are medical doctors, psychologists are not. Psychiatrists prescribe medication, psychologists can't. Psychiatrists diagnose illness, manage treatment and provide a range of therapies for complex and serious mental illness. Psychologists focus on providing psychotherapy (talk therapy) to help patients.

2020-12-22 19:47:29 UTC  

We have a lot of doctors here. Every other block. Selling plants. And pipes. And gummies.

2020-12-22 19:47:57 UTC  

Doctor != Medical doctor.

2020-12-22 19:48:48 UTC  

Physician

2020-12-22 19:50:33 UTC  

Hence why dermatologists require a medical degree.

2020-12-22 19:50:41 UTC  

They also prescribe medication.
