It’s worth asking, then, why the artistic and scientific subcultures tend to be so different.
As someone in an interdisciplinary program I approve of this post.

[...] The Venn Diagram of Art and Science [...]
I fully agree that Science & Art are in no way opposites, that would be silly. But to say that “Science and Art are two words for the same. exact. thing.” is to lose any useful meaning the two words have.
Especially as the gist of her argument seems to be that stupid people are stupid.
Although I can forgive her a lot for this quote:
“Astronomers observe and record subtle and extreme variations in wavelengths in an attempt to not only understand the universe, but to preserve that understanding for future generations. Or did I mean to say Musicians?”
Damn: “stupid”, not “stupis”.
@Mark – Fixed. :)
@Spiraltwist – fank yoo
Makes me look less stoopid!
