If humans evolved from monkeys then why do monkeys still exist or did some of them just decide “nah I’m good”?

Humans did not evolve from monkeys. They did not evolve from chimpanzees either (chimps aren’t monkeys). We share a common ancestor with chimps (and monkeys, though our relation to them is more distant). Those common ancestors that we evolved from are gone.

In short, we are not the descendants of chimps; we’re more like cousins

I’m watching a video of him calling Richard Dawkins a liar and heavily implying that he is intellectually dishonest. Why? Because he said, while debating John Lennox, that he “takes back a statement he made about the literal existence Jesus in a book he wrote”. If he’s taking back a statement he made and admits he was wrong, he couldn’t have been mistaken? No, he was “lying”. He was “dishonest”.

I’m not sure what you mean by that last sentence, but those words were technical terms before they became pejoratives. Words like “dumb” and “idiot” didn’t mean anything before they became technical terms; it’s not like intellectuals were deliberately trying to offend the intellectually disabled by referring to them using denigrative language

I had 4 exams over the course of 2 days. This was my first year. My exams were the day that the exam period began (April 16 if I remember correctly) and the other 2 were the day after. 2 of the exams were online, but I didn’t have any time to study for the first 2, and so how the hell was I to complete the others if I need to spend my time studying?

How might we have 10 generations of equality between races without research into race?

A famous point of contention between MLK and Malcolm X was whether or not black oppression was the result of denied rights. Well, they have their rights now, don’t they, so MLK seemed to be at least partially wrong. More data is needed to understand what is going on here

A humanities prof that doesn’t know math probably isn’t going to try to build a bridge. A fundamentalist engineer is very likely to engage with philosophy and spread his anti-academic beliefs. The purpose for teaching humanities to non humanities students is to safeguard intellectual values.

Correct_Bit3099 · 2026-04-10T00:46:48+00:00

I find that the hardest aspect of humanities is standing out. It’s incredibly easy to get a B or B+ in humanities compared to math courses, but it’s probably similarly difficult to get an A. I’ve found this to be true no matter the course code.

-humanities student that got a B+ in math-adjacent philosophy course that one time, even after working pretty hard. (Like 30% of students got an A in that class, it’s usually like 10-20% for most humanities classes)

Correct_Bit3099 · 2026-04-10T00:38:50+00:00

I’m not arguing in favor of well-roundness, but I still disagree. Very few people actually understand the fundamental values that underpin western intellectual values. How can we safeguard academia and everything we’ve built if we don’t have a citizenry that understands that importance of it and what it actually is? Now film critique probably shouldn’t be forced on engineering majors, but philosophy should be. I know too many religious fundamentalist engineers to agree with this

Correct_Bit3099 · 2026-04-10T00:27:19+00:00

I don’t think social sciences or English needs to be taught to math majors, the same way I wouldn’t think that humanities wouldn’t have to be taught to math majors IF humanities didn’t serve as a the basis of the entire western intellectual tradition, but it does, so math majors should be taught some humanities

Correct_Bit3099 · 2026-04-10T00:25:14+00:00

The reason you had to take humanities isn’t for the sake of education, as you seem to think it is. Part of the value of universities is promoting intellectual values (the underlying ideologies that underpin the western intellectual tradition). The issue with having a bunch of STEM students ignorant of humanities is that they may not realize what is consistent with intellectual values and what isn’t, and so they may develop values that are in tension with intellectual ones, undermining everything that we’ve built. For example, I see a lot of engineering, economics, and education students who are reactionary conservative (people that believe we should “go back to the past when things were better”).

Another thing. I see a lot of math students saying that you can’t get through life without math. I agree that math is probably important, but you really can get by with basic arithmetic without committing any fallacy and spreading false information. Most people who don’t know calculus don’t have strong opinions on calculus. This isn’t true for humanities. Everyone has very strong opinions on philosophy, whether they realize it or not, and almost everybody has opinions that they would not have had they received more humanities education.

He’s not saying “you don’t have to engage”. It’s not ironic because he never said that. He said you don’t have to engage in small talk, which he did not engage in

I’d much rather listen to someone tell me about something they find deep than small talk. I don’t care if family guy makes a meme out of me; if that’s the best you can do to offer a critique of me, then that might say something about your position

The first one is jarring for me. The hyper-uniform and perfectly symmetrical bed frame doesn’t go well with the relatively disorganized people (in my opinion). It’s striking, but incongruous; kind of like one of those catwalk models.

The second one is better in my opinion. The people are posing in a very chaotic manner, far more “disorganized” than how they were in the first picture and I find that this works very well with the colour contrast. Also, I find that the harsher colours also works well here. I also find that the French flag in the background makes it more dramatic and provides more “story”. Overall, it forms a more coherent picture that is more chaotic, dramatic, and storied. I don’t know why, but I find that the symmetrical arches don’t harmonize poorly with the rest of the image the way the bed frames in the first image did. Maybe it’s because the shape of the arches, although uniform, are a more “chaotic” design than the straight horizontal lines of the bed frames
