- How did you find PF?
- Google search trying to decide if I should major in Philosophy or Physics
Hey all, glad to find and join this community. I'm 28 years old, excelled in math and science in high school but because of mental health and life circumstances took a 10 year hiatus from education to focus on healing, primarily using art a means to understand the "self".
This sent me down a wonderful rabbithole of the history/philosophy and purposes of Art, religious art, political art, personal art, and finally Michael Sugrue on YouTube (recommended to anyone with even the slightest itch for philosophy but feel intimidated), and the inevitable understanding that if you want to be taken seriously as a philosopher you must be a scientist/physicist as well.
Now I'm back in community college, working on my Associates in Fine Arts and then transferring to a Bachelors Program in either Philosophy or Physics. Much of my interest is in the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics and cosmology, but I am still very much green on it all so be easy with me.
Thank you all for creating and contributing to sustaining an environment where someone like me struggling to find people to geek out about the universe with can find peers with such ease.
