    If you want to know how philosophy works, do sociology…

    It’s kind of like a horseshoe with philosophy and math at the ends.

        Maybe I’m missing something, but I’d count theoretical computer science as a subfield of math, and practical software engineering among the other engineerings on the harder side of the centre.

          I wouldn’t disagree with that. Discrete mathematics was a core subject when I did my Computer Science course.

          But I do still laugh when I tell people I’m a ‘scientist’, with my fingers crossed behind my back of course 😉
