Hello friends! /u/Livebeef here, one of the cultivators of this space. If you are a community member, thank you for continuing to grow with us. If you are new, welcome!
/r/theydidtheliberalarts[1] is a place for the discussion and sharing of... well, liberal arts! You may submit anything you like here, as long as it pertains to some form of artistic expression. If you like, you can also use a tag in your title to facilitate discussion! Some suggestions are in the sidebar.

Our one rule (apart from Reddit's site-wide rules[2]) is that **all content pertaining to mathematics is strictly forbidden.** Any such content will result in a **one-day ban.** This is not the place for the rigidity and harsh structuring that math imposes. You may not request the community to perform math for you, nor share math you have performed yourself or found elsewhere. While some may view these measures as extreme, it is the opinion of the moderators ("cultivators") that the inability to share opinions and grow personally through mathematics makes the field incompatible with the aim of this subreddit.

With that understanding, thank you for visiting, and please enjoy /r/theydidtheliberalarts[3]!

I'm glad this sub finally made the switch to liberal arts. After all, this decision just adds up.

April fools aside, there's a big difference between liberal arts and the arts. What you describe--artistic expression and aesthetics--is the arts. Liberal arts are concerned with being communicative and social across academic disciplines, including mathematics.

By jove, how could you do such a thing. This is a disgrace, if we all spent our time on the liberal arts we would all be sitting in the muck beating rocks together.

I propose that we move all calculations into the Fourier domain then we can all live together in harmony.
