Comment on I am about to learn everything.
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoperhaps your subjective experience is not the same as mine, and similarly, what I’ve experienced is not as universal as I hoped and my joking little comment about what it’s like to get unusual feedback doesn’t land with you - or anyone perhaps on this forum
and thats OK. My apologies if it didn’t resonate, but also I don’t think either of us will get any more out of bickering.

Perhaps I can back too harsh, but I hear that response anytime I bring up art in front of engineers. It isn’t funny, is mainly lies and is meant to denegrate the whole occupation of art. If you’re an artist hold the standard higher please.

As someone who did go to engineering school, I did not read funkless_eck’s comment as denigrating artists, in any way. I read it as denigrating the unrealistic requests made by art-illiterate clients.
Both their and Captain Aggrevated’s comments where about the unrealistic stresses put on their professions by the subject-illiterate colleagues/clients. They’re highlighting the pain, which is cathartic but not how a real class would work; however, I didn’t assume they’re in here seriously proposing new pedagogy. This is the internet.
Humanities and Shop classes that teach the basics of other professions show that even the basics are more complex than an outsider would assume. So, yeah, engineers should round out their curriculum so they don’t become jag-offs that expect unrealistic expectations.
I don’t know what class you missed though, because you took a joke aimed at those dismissing your profession and chose to internalize it instead. Talk about playing to type; the self-obssessed artiste. If you’re an artist, hold the standard higher, please.
