In my current job I have free access to a graduate master in political sciences, so I decided to take it just for fun since, as I stated, it's free.
Oh my, all theories are from marxism, so is no wonder why they tend to be leftist. Markets are regarded as theories, because according to these studies, supply and demand are man creation hence can be changed (althought I showed them that in nature, supply and demand actually have a role, but they didn't seem convinced).
The most shoking part for me was that they suck at math, so the economy class was considerable difficult for them. I begin to understand why lefties reject mathematical proof... they don't understand how it works, so they argument everything through marxist dialectic, as if it was the only way, disregarding solid proof.
I was the only engineer in the middle of philosophers, political scientist, foreign relation majors... you get the picture. Well, I outperformed all of them by just reading the paper and repeating like a zombie the texts provided. These were people with at least 5 years of previous "knowledge", for me all was new, but so damn easy that I felt kind of dissapointed.
I like history and politics, but for me it's evident that political science is a hobby turned into a major; I would never pay to study a whole career.
Why did I stayed? the chicks were quite pretty, and I was the interesting specimen. In fact... i had a lot of fun, would do it again.
