Why would someone turn to who knows the past when you can turn to someone that can create the future?
Because those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
Well if that's the logic you're using, you'll have to turn to both of them. CS students don't make fun of history students anyways. It's the art students that are the most fun to laugh at. (Sorry art students)
That's kind of the point. Both are important and it's stupid to put down either. Unfortunately most engineering students are little shits that fail to comprehend that they're just one small part in a much greater machine. Without the rest they're essentially worthless.
