actually i find it nice the way Ty goes analysing stuff, but i oftem get lost on it. Probably because i am a less deep person or something

@northernnarwhal i've never been the artsy guy so making in depht critical analysis on art stuff never became part of my life
Monday, 18-Jan-16 04:45:59 UTC from web-
@mushi Yeah, for a while now (though recently more than ever) I've tried to approach the art I enjoy critically, thinking not just about my knee-jerk reactions to it but examining it in a wider context. I'm fascinated not only by the specific craft of different art forms but also their context through specific critical lenses, because I believe perspective can be very important in art. I'm very interested in ideas and people.

@northernnarwhal I've been putting some more thought into the games and stuff i watch, but usually having an ambientation i like tends to be enough to me. I like ideas and stuff, but people is not much my thing

@mushi I definitely think it's healthy for people to at least casually reflect on their tastes and values and what those things say about them. It's still definitely okay to just Enjoy Art, I know I do, but I also don't think we should divorce art from its wider sociopolitical context either, regardless of whether we're going to have a conversation about that context.

@northernnarwhal well, i wouldnt consider myself a fun of art, i enjoy some of it, but it is far from being one of my main interests
Monday, 18-Jan-16 05:12:06 UTC from web-
@mushi I think part of my deep fascination with art stems from the fact that I consume a lot of it, so that's probably why I'm more critical of it.
Monday, 18-Jan-16 05:13:18 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal i dont consume much of it, actually my main sounrce of entretainment, apart from gaming, was watching science documentaries, so i sort of never got much in touch with art. The art classes also didnt help much
Monday, 18-Jan-16 05:15:52 UTC from web-
@mushi That's understandable. Funny enough, going into high school I was much more intrigued by things like science and maths, but by the end of high school I'd developed much more of an interest in things like art and philosophy. I admire your passion for science too, I'm still casually interested in it but could never undertake it as a profession.

@northernnarwhal i always liked studying biodiversity and those stuff and for the biggest time i wanted to go for invertebrate zoology, btu the i realized that biological sciences involve way more killing than i am willing to do, then in the prep. course i decided to go to chemistry

@northernnarwhal yeah, i like it a lot, that is why I'm still on it even after fininshing a 5 years major, but I'm still a sucker for invertebrate zoology
Monday, 18-Jan-16 05:45:53 UTC from web-
@mushi I know that feeling. I still love reading and literature despite not being in a program even tangentially related to those things.
Monday, 18-Jan-16 05:47:37 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal A thing i like a lot in chemistry is how it is still pretty experimental while the other sciences are mostly mathmatical. I mean, it is not like math is bad, but the empirical side is a lot more interesting to me
Monday, 18-Jan-16 05:50:56 UTC from web-
@mushi See, I always thought that physics was the really experimental field because of a lot of the more theoretical concepts its often grappling with, but I can see how chemistry could also involve large amounts of experimentation.
Monday, 18-Jan-16 05:55:44 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal chemistry is traditionally an empirical science, so its migration to the theoretical side is a lot slower than it was with the other sciences and you can still do lots of relevant stuff without relying only on super computers
Monday, 18-Jan-16 06:00:42 UTC from web-
@mushi actually, chemistry used to not even be a science to begin with
Monday, 18-Jan-16 06:01:27 UTC from web -
@mushi I know there's been much theoretical speculation over certain unknown elements, but yeah, chemistry tends to be very empirical.
Monday, 18-Jan-16 06:04:07 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal it is, usually the physical and computational chemists say it is a bad thing, but they need the experimental data to validate their calculations, so they should find something better to complain aboutn
Monday, 18-Jan-16 06:05:37 UTC from web-
@mushi Experiments are sort of a fundamental facet of the scientific method. I think it's certainly good to construct and test hypotheses in scientific fields.
Monday, 18-Jan-16 06:08:19 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal the idea is that both sides work together, but people dont like working together, so they are always saying that what other does is not real chemistry
Monday, 18-Jan-16 06:11:38 UTC from web-
@mushi That kind of mentality is troublesome, because then neither side gets much meaningful work done.
