The Hierarchy of Study

-I'm sorry arts, I love you really.

All through secondary kids around the world are forced to study an array of nonsensical, boing and useless subjects to “widen their horizons” or some bullcrap. Being a (normal) school kid I was downright angry how they forced all this useless shit down my throat everyday for years. Religious Study? Really? And don't get me started on fucking Drama. Thankfully I was a gay nerd who was actually good at science and the real subjects. So naturally I hated all this poncy side-work I had to do, and naturally the progression was to reaffirm my suspicions through my innate autism. Stats and charts. So here it is. The fully remastered Hierarchy of Study:



Subjects here are sorted into this tree thing, as well as being sorted into horizontal tiers. The links show when a subject is merely a subsection of the one above. The tiers are sorted from elderberry tier at the top, down through neck yourself tier to Floor Tiles tier right at the bottom. Lets start from the real trash. Arts: fuck you. Art should be a pastime or a passion, not something to learn about in a class. Do you think real art men went to school? I mean they did but they didn't need to, probably. Next.

Humanities. More like cuckmanities am I right? Its all just learning about stuff humans do, and not actually doing it. History might be cool to learn and parrot off to your friends like some kind of grimy wikipedia gnome, but what is it really good for? We literally know this stuff already, we did it. Languages are also shit. English is the ultimate language and luckily you already know it, so just stop.

Now this one is possibly tenuous. I've stuck very one of the aforementioned subjects as subsections of “psychology”. Which is possibly dumb, I don't know, I never did psychology. Next one.
Psychology is the study of human minds, Biology is the study of life. The human mind is just a small section of life. This one makes perfect sense. Biology is kind of useful I guess, but I've never met a medicine student I liked so there.

Chemistry is studying chemicals and their reactions. Biology is just chemistry that happens to make life. Simple.

Again, an easy one. Chemistry is just a small part of physics; which isn't just limited to the properties of chemicals, but the properties of everything that exists. Physics is the king of science, the overarching subject that includes literally everything you can see.
But again physics pales to maths. Physics is just applied maths. Maths that has an effect on real shit. Behind all physics is maths, and without maths, physics just couldn't. If physics is the king, maths is the omnipotent god that pulls the strings.

However, stuff is never that simple. I've left out one subject which doesn't really fit anywhere. That's a lie, I left out almost every subject but whatever, they don't matter. The real big one missing is philosophy. Yeah I know in real life doing a philosophy diploma is a sure fire route to the homeless shelter, but that doesn't lessen the concept of it. Really its about the big questions that even physics, and not even maths has the answers for. Literal god-tier stuff. Maths is just the parts of philosophy that work with numbers; so therefore I place philosophy right at the top. King of gods. The end.

But wait! Philosophy could also fit right at the bottom of this chart. Right down there with the dogs. Because really its just about thinking. And thinking is a mere human construction right? Just a section of what psychology covers. And thus this tree has turned into a loop. From top till bottom and back to top. I love it when a good circle appears. I'm sure this symbolises something, and I'm probably the only person who could work out what that thing is. But dammit I'm going to bed.
