    Oui monsieur, my bad edited it. As someone who graduated in stem, I have a very easy time understanding natural or technical or economical causes and effects but loathe it when another person in my field speaks on politics or social groups since they almost always come off as bigoted or ignorant (often both).

    I ve therefore been interested in the social sciences and humanities for a while as they are a pleasure to discover. I find philosophy and critical theory to be the best guides to understanding realities that fall outside of the bounds of one s rationality and Foucault’s concepts explain politics better than anyone else (aside maybe from Deleuze and Guittari in A Thousant Plateaus).
