  I think everyone with a niche skill experiences that to some extent. Almost all posts about mathematics on lemmy attract people acting like they understand what’s going on while making wrong claims lol, I only rarely see comments that are fully correct.

    Yeah I expect climate change scientists would roll their eyes pretty hard at my post as well =)

    I don’t think I saw any math related post tbh, other than witty 3! = 6 one

      I guess me being a mathematician makes me notice them more. I’ve seen many in several communities, but me being biased makes me wish there were more.

        I just began math PhD program, but maybe it becomes different after finishing it. Maybe we are in different communities? Mine is mostly this one, linux and programming.

  I hope that one day people can call themselves philosophers without feeling cringey

    For what it’s worth, as a non-philosopher, I absolutely agree that it’s a field that needs and deserves to be taken far more seriously by far more people.

    When I grow up, I want to work at the philosophy factory, making philosophies

  Same with studying anything and then seeing it mentioned on the internet.

    Very true

  Yeah, I’m an engineer myself, and even I can see that the take on philosophy here is really unnecessarily disparaging, and doesn’t even really fit well into the joke due to a rather meaningful lack of pertinence.

  You’re right! I read a few paragraphs about this.

  My high-school class on philosophy concerned itself with formal logic (syllogisms, really) and a little ontology, though I have forgotten most of the ontological stuff again. I don’t know just how much there is to know, so I don’t know just how ignorant I am. But where other Internet philosophers pretend to know what they’re talking about, I at least know that I don’t.
