    geologists could also tell you where the valuable resources are underground & give advance warning for an earthquake & tell you how long it might take for a volcano to erupt

    i love geology

    Can someone please tell me why I should care about geology/geography? Because I passionately hate and have hated it and dont see a reason why I personally need to know any geology other than stuff like “ah yes this is a river, and this is a mountain and this is why it rains and why a rainbow appears.”

    History? Math? Physics? Chemistry? Arts? Literature? Sociology? Psychology? Philosophy? Biology? All of these are stuff that while I may not actively use advanced information about in daily life can have a tangible and positive impact in the depth of which I think, reason and experience the world to. For example I dont really like history but I can see how knowledge of history is valuable to a person so I can at least act like I care about it and put in some amount of effort.

    Geology/geography? I don’t know man. I dont see any reason why I should need to know geology if I dont spesifically like it.

      That’s fine, you don’t need to know stuff about every single subject. The important part is that SOME people should really be studying this stuff. As it can reveal very important info about the places where we live.

        You are like a math student being upset that most people dont get math, standing in a corner yelling “GUESS IM USELESS NOW”. :)

        Ricky Gervais jokes about guys like you. I would suggest chilling a bit, considering the other 8 billion here are not clones of you, and dont share the same interests or opinions. Welcome to life.
