Connor being shitface drunk has to be an achievement 😭

"My shaft was not very good" Should be a on a T-shirt with Connors face on it god damn

As an electrical engeneering master student, I only partially agree with Conor. Not only the pioneers in science are creative- ANY scientist SHOULD be creative as much as he can. The thing is that now, in the field of science, which is already developped, you should reach the "frontier of science" to apply your creativity: to reach the level of knowledge and competence, when you can actually start to contribute to the science itself and due to the human progress during the previous centuries it takes a lot of time. And on the way it seems sometimes that everything is already done and you need only to follow the guidelines - but actually in most of the cases it is very far from the truth. For instance, just to start understanding how basic transistor physics works you need to know Quantum Physics (in particular Quantum Electrodynamics)- for that you need the good base in General Physics (in Particular General Electricity and Optics, Waves and non-linear Optics, StatPhys etc etc etc), Mecanics, Field Theory, Mathématiques (Operators, Functional Analysis, Tensors and Tensor Computations, Complex functions, Statistics, Measure theory, Probability Theory etc etc etc), basic Chemistry (also very very important for electronics) and etc etc etc- So without that you can not even start to submerge into the field, I am not talking about all the other necessary skills and instruments needed to actually start developping something new (only software for modeling (with respective languages and bibliothèques) will make quite a list already). This example is a little harsh (too narrow field), but it is true for most of the scientific areas of research. With applied sciences (like ML, software engeneering, general engeneering (material sciences), robotics, Data analysis etc etc) the picture is a bit different, but very simular also, just with some specifics. So in other words, modern technical science in general has a pretty high barrier of entry to actually reach the point where creativeness starts to play the dominant role. PS: the funniest thing is that during 4 years you are told what to do and "punished" for doing it the "wrong" way, but then suddenly , when writing your thesis time comes you are expected to KNOW how to conduct research and to find a purpose for such a research along with creative ways to conduct it, which litteraly nobody during these 4 years of Bachelor has explained to you. As the result you end up in kind of an informational vacuum or even worse - in informational chaos of research papers with a lot of noise which you have to filter out. Sometimes your mentor-professor (if the student is lucky) can guide you in this ocean of unclear and unknown research of the scientific frontier, but in most cases they don't and a student is completely lost. As a result he loses too much of the precious time to figure the things out, so it rests too little time to actually do something meaningful or reach an acceptable result in the field. PPS: sorry for the occasional errors and wierd phrases' structures- english is not my native language

Drunk guys and deep philosophical discussions. Name a more iconic duo.

lmao you guys post the best and weirdest content

As a recent engineer grad, I relate to Connor a lot on how they stifle creativity. I can think of maybe 2-3 projects where we were allowed to try to come up with our own solutions. Even those projects had a lot of prerequisite requirements that limited the options we could look at a lot. Not sure if it’s because I did Civil and the lack of options in the field. Working in the field has showed that creativity is still important due to each case being different and having different needs, different client, different region etc.

1:34 this is true, if you did something creatively that people really loved or hated, it will be better than neutral. You never want an okay reaction, because you will be forgotten later on. But if something caused a strong emotion, it will stick with you for a long time.

3:59 which is why fanfiction is true artistry 🤔

As a network engineer, I 100% just get told to "do this exactly as we say" UNLESS it saves money. Getting new ideas to solve problems passed is like passing kidney stones.

still cant beat the wine episode where Connor couldnt recognise wine he just tasted moment ago LOL

Connor was so right about the creativity in engineer. That's how all of my classmates feel. We are all in 3rd year now and now we're all worrying about the future

Conner is just so relatable even with the teacher. I had a teacher who used to tell us the questions coming on the exam. Some of my teachers repeated questions that were on quizzes throughout the the semester and for the others, I did like grant and just learnt the way they set tests and learn how they behaved and taught and so u kinda can tell what's gonna be on the exam versus what's not gonna be on the exam

Connor is completely right about how I’m science, being artsy/creative can have a stigma (or at least used to). There was a weird feeling that we were “too serious” for that stuff, which is dumb, but it is what it is.

STEMcels vs ARTSchads

Joey as an aussie has a honourary engineering degree, everything here breaks constantly. Cost too much to get professionals to fix so you learn quick

Uh actually MANY old artists we know today did commissions, advertised their art, made connections, etc. If they had social media back then, they would use it.

they keep saying "creativity" when they're all anime reviewers

I don't agree with Connor about enginering, what he is describing is a job that can be repetitive, most engineers/scientist aren't at MIT, Harvard, Google, NASA or CERN researching. But even in a repetitive job you may need to be creative.

It's the artist that inspired YORUSHIKA 🎉

They're not drunk enough unless they are vomiting on the set.

7:50 the average anyone does that, though. I don't know where tf he's pulling this info from. Most people in science jobs that require creativity are creative. But also follow protocol because it's proven to work. Otherwise, that's like repairing a nuclear reactor with masking tape. Creative, but dumb.

u expect to never get creative projects in a classroom environment. otherwise it's hard to evaluate

As an engineering student, I think that engineers are highly creative, I think that the ability to visualize a solution that doesn't yet exist, and have the skills to make it a reality is deeply creative. Visualisation like that is an innate human skill, but its something that engineers are taught to cultivate. I'm currently working on a masters project in which me and a team of students must create an "innovative solution for a global challenge". Now, while I don't believe our design is a million dollar idea, the project has been some of the most rewarding and creative thinking and teamworking I've ever had to do. I think that using existing/proven solutions can be creative, if these proven solutions are used/combined in an innovative way. I can agree that a lot of engineering is very cut and dry, most of the questions asked in exams have a right answer, but I would argue that problem solving is just as creative as it is logical. I'm probably a bit biased tho so take this with a grain of salt

Left after joey said pads me the third one. Shitty click bait at best. Out of touch millionaires much more probable

I’m in the United States, where the government has more control on alcohol than guns. Finally turning 21 this july and I can’t wait to be completely shitfaced (legally)😂

this clip is mistitled and sucks
