| I'm interested in whether people are night or day people here. Since prog is music of the mind, I expect it's mostly morning people (and therefore math/science). But you tell me. |

Could you explain this sentence further? I wouldn't call myself a morning person, but not really a night person either. I love sleeping!  And I'm a certified math/science geek - but I also love history. |

It should actually be the other way around. Math and science are both done better in the morning. Also, since prog is almost a science, I expect more math and science people to like prog (and therefore more morning people). It made sense in my head.

I am a scientist but I do self studying of history and philosophy (and know 3 languages, 2 of them are native tongues).
I have no problem raising up early in the morning, and in fact those are the hours in whcih I am at my most concentrated, but I prefer the wee-we hours between 1-4 (which in the army and in several jobs I was in, were the hours I was constatnly up).
So all four options for me....
My wife (who listens to prog as well), is a night persona and an historian and is studying several laguages.
SOme other people I know, who love prog, are almost all night persons and mostly are on the "humanity" side of the academia.

What do you mean with science? Isn't history also a science?  Anyway, I voted for the last option. |

Again, math and science are more "objective" oriented activities. Music is about content, that content is potentiated by sound. If otherwhise, the result is actually a bunch of numbers with no internal logic that provides the sustent for a new symbol (song, simphony, whatever). ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

"Real Stuff". Please notice that your idea of real is also depending of the time you are living in, the common concepts of your culture, etc. ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

Night person who likes science and history. I voted the math and science one because I'm much better in math than English, even though I dislike math for the most part.

I hate standing up early in the morning, so you can say I am a night person (right?).
I like languages a lot and try to study them as deeply as possible, which I hope is evident from my presence here (English is my third language). However, I detest history and always find myself confused regarding finding the truth and discerning the facts from opinions to exaggerations.
I am really good at Math, but I am an empiricist and have very little perception of Science.
If you got to know me better, you'd find a lot of bizarre surprises.  ------------- sig |
