Comments by "Orwellian Horseman of the Apocalypse" (@DennisMoore664) on "Атеизм 2.0" video.
4:25 - I get that this is from seven years ago and it's been over twenty years since I was in college, but are you telling me these institutions don't have a humanities department? No degrees in philosophy being awarded? I find that hard to believe. I majored in philosophy for a few of semesters to spend some time studying and thinking about questions of metaphysics, morality, ethics and other ideas over the ages and from around the globe. I changed my major because I used to joke that the only things you could do with a philosophy degree is teach and stand-up. I wish I had majored in philosophy now because I just might have KILLED doing stand-up. Between my wacky childhood and the right early education - Monty Python and Cheech and Chong (both albums and TV/film), Dr Demento, SCTV and SNL from the first episode - I suspect I've got plenty of material And some of them make decent money once they get going. I just don't like being on stage. Thus this Internet post and not a YouTube video. But I digress. The study of religion was an element in some of my courses, but was generally approached from the standpoint agnosticism - mostly. There was one professor who had spent too much time in India so it wasn't really his fault. Point is people have to choose what value they want to get out of a college experience. Are they just going somewhere to make a career happen? What a waste of an opportunity - sometimes it might pay to get your bachelors at a college you can spend the extra money and time at instead of the fancy schmancy schools - or transfer after a year or two if that's possible. options people, there are always options.
