they offer like one module per semester of our choice of introductorary-like courses which is nice but no official 'computer science with philosophy' stuff and if that were the case it wouldn't be integrated it would just be your time split between two schools

the entire reason i went to the brick-and-mortar i did was that it offered an AI major that was 1/3 each computer science, philosophy, and psychology

was it integrated well at all? here at least the joint honours courses are just two courses with one module that links them if you're lucky.

as far as i ever saw it could not have been less integrated, not that i finished the program or anything

see this is the problem with the way these systems work, even in things where it should be easy to put them together they're all still branched both managerially and mentally into their own spaces. biology and chemistry are the only two trying to make ammends at the moment here..

i guess also some scientists are deathly afraid of the 'philosophy' word. science got a philopsphy problem but phil has a public image problem no doubth and people in the public eye (mainly jp im thinking about here) aren't helping it

and this is bananas to me I took Philosophy of Science and it was one of the more valuable courses I ever took I still think about it a lot and use those frameworks when I set up research agendas something something two cultures http://s-f-walker.org.uk/pubsebooks/2cultures/Rede-lecture-2-cultures.pdf …

yeah, initiation into the mysteries of Popper and Kuhn was one of the things they made sure you got with my interdisciplinary major there and it certainly seems like going around without being armed with that is a terrible idea probably it's ~evil postmodernism~ though

it seems to me that most proper researchers agree that there is a problem with how the public see science as some kind of 'this is the truth' (a la the indiana jones video) but I don't know how you change it. harder to teach kids at a young age about falsifiability

this wasn't satisfactory acutally but it's a tweet you know what i meant

I think I disagree with the empirical claim though--that "most proper researchers agree", unless we go all scotsman on "researcher" (which actually would probably be valid) There are some really thoughtful scientists across disciplines but especially in the more mmm . . .

more compromised disciplines I see a lot of "I applied The Standard Method, this is Truth, don't argue with my Authority"
