it feels way more like undergrad phil than undergrad maths
less reading about historical figures i guess
you don't have to attach some specific catholic monk's name to a problem or proof
also i kinda feel like a couple ethics courses should be a gen ed requirement
in place of "pick a humanities!", ethics specifically
forcing people to actually think about the implications of the shit they think and why they feel that way in the first place is super important and would nip a lot of stupid shit in the bud
It's already required. Turns out professors are people with bias and want to encourage thier brand if stupid shit.
not "Ethics in computer science", general ethics courses, and a couple of em
should try to squeeze all the different schools of ethics into one semester, you don't have time to explore them
If by ethics you mean logic then yes
God, I wish I were them
_pets kaytee_
i mean like teach people about deontology and consequentialism mostly
My KZ ATES fell apart yesterday
maybe an aside about how virtue ethics is garbage
Yeah, this is a terrible idea.
consequentialism could really be several classes to itself
You are describing what is already happening ineffectivly.
But more of it.
i dunno, my uni didn't have any requirements like that, and to my knowledge still doesn't
@Kaytee I definitely think the more rational side of.ethics need to be taught but forcing people to take it makes it pointless. You can't legislate moral change.
And drinking too much cider.
Apparently CS has philosophy components, I'd be set - been taking philosophy classes at school for the past 2 years

@johnfrum#8811 you can require people trying to get a degree to at least pass a course on it, show some understanding of it
wow thx discord
@Droidbot What you mean by that though
CS is mainly just logic
brb gonna hack the chinks
i mean, gen-ed level phil is literally "learn these five or six names, here's a list of logical fallacies, write babbies' first proof without falling into em"
@transience yeah, something I'm quite ok at
>traditional characters
the only good characters
Argh I'll worry about this when the time comes
@Matthew yeah, I was told it would help with indigestion bit messed up the ratios. Just feel like dying now.
@transience >the intentionally confusing alphabet system designed to suppress peasants is the best

gulag is always the answer
delet this
Also, the part about simplified characters promoting literacy is sort of a meme
