Well, I've tried sincerely to find out what was difficult about philosophy for many years. Have you done the same with math?

> because I think your position to discuss such things is made untenable by the obvious contempt in which you hold the humanities.

You assume I was a math head, and that I have disdain from humanities.

That's a total projection which tells me you are not being objective in this discussion. So you are right, it's a good thing we stop there.

But for the record I actually like humanities.

Just because you think a topic is harder than another doesn't mean you prefer one.

I don't even particularly like math, and I'm very bad at it.

I'm probably better than the average Joe, but I'm way better at writing than at calculating.

And I enjoy reading philosophy and sociology.

It's ironic that someone in humanities can be so judgmental of its fellow human, and in a very black and white way.
