      i am a student going in what americans would call a 'major' next year (weird stuff with the way my course worked) wish there was more intersectionality with what I want to do. I'm intrested in phil & cultural studies but no real way to actually do any real 'course' stuff

      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

      I went to college twice. Once for philosophy (dropped out in my final semester). Once for computer science (got a degree). I've learned much more and better philosophy from self-study than I did in school. The CS degree was worthwhile but also not necessary for $dayjob work.

      Never taken a formal philosophy course in my life. Unsure if the ones of offer here will make me happy or not. Will try anyway.

      they may give you some formal structure for reading classics. otoh, this is the age of the internet so who needs formal structure?

      like, go ahead and misunderstand the Phaedrus dialogue. that's fine. you can read it again later. compare notes with the internet. let it seep in and digest it unconsciously for a few months than try again later. no need to write a crap essay on it and get a B+ grade.

      thinking that main value of professors is often being told which things are important to learn But a lot of humanities professions are so far up their own ass--failed attempts at kegan 5 without bothering to hit kegan 4--that I'm not sure professors in those fields provide this

          maybe a professor (as an individual) could, but the institutional structure knocks everyone back down to stage 3 no matter what you do.
