>>12602657Those are completely unrelated. I want a pharmacist to know medicine as well as possible.
You'd see this immediately if you tried to flip this around.
>Do you want a mathematician who can't even deal with amphetamines?Universities used to be easier to get into, the difference being that the people who went to college were doing so because they actually wanted to learn about a field and go on to further it. Also universities weren't forced to accept retards to meet quotas. Nowadays people are just doing it as an extension of the rest of regular public school.
>>12602670See the above. Math may be the language of the universe and the best, or maybe even only, way we have to truly understand it, but it is not everything. People need to specialize in fields. If everyone spent half their time learning math at the highest levels when less than one percent would ever even use it then we'd be wasting enormous amounts of time and resources. The simple fact is that not everyone needs to learn even just calculus, let alone all of the different branches above that.
Stuff like
>If you're not smart enough to handle something as simple as the Chain Rule, you shouldn't be in charge of handing out medicines that can kill people.and
>Being shitty at math indicates you can't comprehend deductive/inductive reasoning and logic, huge red flag for me.make it seem like you two just wasted a ton of time learning mathematics, realized you aren't quite material to do anything groundbreaking in your field, and now attempt to measure all intelligence in reference to the mathematics that you know in a sort of sunk cost fallacy so that you can feel like you're still superior to all of those other people who spent as much time as you did learning math learning other fields.
