sociology
"doing sociology is like being able to eat with chopsticks, it's cool but ultimately no one cares and it's pretty fucking useless"
"For these critics, formal sociology is like a sieve that strains out all the awkward facts that fail to suit its theory"
"Sociology is like an aerial photograph. From a terrain flight, the phenomenon of the Islamic State organization and similar groups is alarming. But from a higher observation point, which captures the entire historic space, there is room for optimism."
Misha shrugged. "I don't exactly have a clue of what to do with it. I mean, sociology is like... trying to nail jello to a wall. It's the kind of degree that you could most likely use in politics, but I'm not sure if I want to go down that road."
METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
