    Above all, it fosters imagination and creativity.

    If you want to build a car, you need consider both its form and function.

    Focusing just on the raw materials will result in an uneven approach. You are lobbying for "raw materials" only.

    You would ban everything humanistic from schooling, including self-expression and creativity. You want replicants not people
    All said by people from non-STEM fields (except Teutone I think) just like you do in real life (politics). Yes, reading novels increases creativity. Creativity is increased by reading philosophy. Sure, you can find it in novels, but whatever.

    Creativity is key for innovation. In order to create something new you need to imagine it first. Imagination and creativity sets apart an ordinary follower that uses the knowledge of others from a creater that makes a new product or invention. Take science fiction for example, what considered to be a fantasy even 50-60 years ago is now a reality.

    His statement is a bit ambiguous to me. He said that engineers frequently need creativity, but he never stated that creativity comes from reading novels and other useless shit like most of you stated. You were on how engineers are robots without creativity. It's just that you and Scarface thought he was speaking in your favour simply for calling me autistic. Perhaps he could clarify.

    What was considered to be a fantasy 50 years ago is just simply a natural evolution of science and technology. With just a bit reading on history of science and technology you would see that all of it would happen without Star Trek or whatever novel. Lulz at people thinking that people are robots without imagination without reading novels. As if people wouldn't invent a mobile phone or whatever without Star Trek. Again, I am not against novels. I am against novels, poems in schools and similar crap. Students are already cramed with their own subjects related to their profession. In their free time, outside of school and not related to school they can do and read whatever they can.

    Most engineers are not creative at all. Only few percent is and those people create new inovations. Rest are narrow minded retards like Insuperable.

    Obviously, not all of us can be on top.

    In lawyers case all are big hard drive, weak RAM and slow processor speed.

    I get it. It's about envy. You think lawyers are trash but everyone secretly wants to be one.

    Millions of films about lawyers and law and almost none about electric engineers despite you feel yourself superior.

    Hate the game, not the player

    I'd rather suck a dick than be a lawyer. And trust me, I don't want to suck a dick.
