I studied philosophy in College but got my CS degree. I think some guy called Paul Graham did so too. I think philosophy is useful for detecting if someone is lying to you or doesn't know what they are talking about. It does stress critical thinking in different ways than say studying math (I also studied math also).
I can't really take what he is saying though at any serious level though and I don't believe what he is saying at all. I think that this story is to grab headlines.
- cre8 9y agoI major in Math, so which did you think was more interesting?
- zitterbewegung 9y agoI took Math and Philosophy (and studied higher math like Category theory and Knot Theory). I don't think one is more interesting than the other. I love them equally.
- smt88 9y ago> philosophy is useful for detecting if someone is lying to you What do you mean? What did philosophy teach you about lie detection?
- mythrwy 9y agoAh, you caught him. You must also have taken philosophy.
- zitterbewegung 9y agoAsking the right questions and seeing how people view the world.
