Have you taken a philosophy department logic course? I learned way more useful logical thinking in philosophy classes. My CS classes didn't even come close. Sure I learned to make a mindless machine calculate the proper result, but that's far less important than reading the writing of another person an being able to understand their ideas.

- scarecrowbob 12y agoI'm not well regarded, but my undergrad degree is in Philosophy :D
- Touche 12y agoSame here, I think people have a warped idea of what philosophy is.
