Is math worth majoring in despite its high accessibility and the fact that STEM majors generally require math proficiency anyway?
By high accessibility, I mean that you can learn it basically entirely by the book with no expensive equipment or fieldwork or anything like that required. For example, according to my Google search, the Indian math prodigy Ramanujan "taught himself advanced mathematics largely through intense independent study of a single library book." Other STEM subjects aren't this accessible, requiring lab equipment, fieldwork, or eventual on-the-job learning to deepen one's understanding and practical skills.
Several of these other STEM subjects also require advanced math proficiency, or at least advanced enough for most job roles. So, having considered these things, I'm not sure that a math major is maximizing the value they can get out of college. While the math door will always be open wide, other STEM doors will be closed or opened much less. What do you think?
Is economics still a good undergraduate major?
It seems opinions are mixed on this one. What do you think?
How do you make sure you don't have to take a dump mid-performance?
I've never seen a performer leave the stage mid-performance because they have to take a dump really bad. I'm wondering how they manage this or if they have the attitude that the show must go on at the risk of pooping their pants?
Jesus Christ showed more than anyone else what love really is
What did he do? He died a brutal death on the cross, during which time he told God to forgive his executioners.
Luke 23:34—Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
He taught to love your enemies and that the greatest demonstration of love is to die for another, which makes sense because it's the ultimate selfless act.
John 15:12-13—This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
He didn't just teach these things. He lived them out to the fullest. Why then should you or I reject Jesus Christ? How can any one of us think our way is better than his way?

How do you prove you're not one of the musicians out there passing off AI songs as their own work?
Can you reach your musical potential without a music degree?
I feel that musicians with a music degree understand music at a much deeper level and struggle less with songwriting, particularly complex songwriting, than musicians without one. I can't even imagine the knowledge a PhD in music has compared to me.
