If you want to know how philosophy works, do sociology...

It's kind of like a horseshoe with philosophy and math at the ends.

A horseshoe capped off by Computer Science ๐Ÿ˜‰

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'd count theoretical computer science as a subfield of math, and practical software engineering among the other engineerings on the harder side of the centre.

I wouldn't disagree with that. Discrete mathematics was a core subject when I did my Computer Science course.

But I do still laugh when I tell people I'm a 'scientist', with my fingers crossed behind my back of course ๐Ÿ˜‰
