full offense but the arts are just as important as stem and anyone who disagrees can meet me in the pit

I agree 1000%.

BUT! I also think that, exactly because they are equally important, people should endeavour to have some knowledge of both.

None of this ‘I can’t do science, I’m an English major’ or ‘Music? I do Physics’ crap.

Totally agree. None of that “artists hate STEM” or vice versa nonsense.

Especially considering how much STEM and the arts go together. If you only do one and shun the other you are MISSING OUT, man. You’ll never get to see how beautifully everything fits together

I actually know more than one musician physics major. They are elevated to a higher state of being when it comes to an understanding of sound mechanics.

Schools not only need to emphasize both STEM and the arts equally, they also need to stop advertising them as separate, mutually exclusive things and forcing people to take sides on a dichotomy that doesn’t even exist

stem! and! the! arts! are! not! mutually! exclusive!!!!!

My school has tons of STEM kids who wanna be doctors and engineers in multiple music classes (more than required)
