Anons of /sci/ I'd like to hear your opinion on some topics that revolve around social sciences.
>Do you as a STEM student/major find SCs interesting?
>Are they really sciences?
How much subjectivity should be allowed?
Are the empiric tools(statistics, math, scientific method, logic) in use, enough?
Are fields that use a bigger amount of hard facts like economy, business(math) and psychology(biology) more reliable than others?
>Relation to STEM
There's really no other fields of science that deal with human interactions as a study subject and interpretation, naturally, comes with the domain. Regarding this, what do you, as a STEM outsider, think about the work of social scientists so far?
>Relation to Humanities
Why do people majoring in humanities think they're studying about humans instead of products of humanity and think their opinion on the subject should be held with the same weight as that of a social scientist? (Yes we also have someone to look down on.)
>Interdisciplinary
Do you think that history and philosophy should be grouped as social sciences or as humanities or as both.
>Biases
How should we keep biases and political opinions outside this field.
>Complexity
Does dealing with systems that can't be properly subjected to minimalism make these fields more complex or simpler than Natural sciences?
